york. south korean lawmakers voting a short time ago to impeach president yoon suk yeol. it comes in the wake of his controversial martial law decree that caused huge political turmoil in the country last saturday. yoon survived an impeachment vote after most ruling party lawmakers boycotted a floor vote. this time, people, people power party lawmakers did show up to vote. yoon's martial law imposition lasted only six hours. he was forced to lift it after parliament unanimously voted to overturn it. yoon's presidential powers and duties are now suspended until the constitutional court determines whether to dismiss him as president or restore his powers if he's thrown out of office. a national election to choose his successor must be held within 60 days. tens of thousands of people have poured onto the streets of the capital city every night for the past two weeks, calling for yoon's ouster and arrest once again.
1:02 am
south korean lawmakers voting early this morning to impeach president yoon suk yeol. it follows his short lived but controversial martial law decree earlier this month. i'm chanley painter.ome as no surprise to the left wing media that people lost faith in them. >> the main stream has become fringe and the fringe have become main stream. donald trump understood that and we didn't. and it's not just democrats who don't. the entire political class is way off, way off, way off. >> and now the media elites who thought they had firm control over the public discourse are, well, they're ringing their hands. >> i'm very worried about the press, extremely worried. and i despair, seriously, i worry greatly, and i don't know how it recovers. i'm very dark about it.
1:03 am
>> oh, that just makes me so sad leslie. they've lost the ability to shape the narrative and they know it, but most refuse to acknowledge the truth. they discredited themselves when they started excluding anyone that didn't toe the party line. >> the rebels in our party have been pushed out. rfk was a rebel inside of our party. don't forget elon musk was an andrew yang democrat four years ago. he's out. you can walk down the list. joe rogan, the rebels in this party no longer feel like they have a place. >> but they did find a place in donald trump's republican party where freedom thrives and diversity of opinion, it's actually welcomed. the democratic party is in disarray over their future. even their holiday parties are marred by the existential question, what do we do now? donald trump is more popular than ever. a majority of americans approve
1:04 am
of his transition. expect him to do a good job as president and feel more hopeful. meanwhile, biden is leaving office with the lowest approval in 16 years, and voters by a 30-point margin say they've been hurt rather than helped by his policies. the reality of this predicament is hitting the democrats hard. >> one of the disturbing things to the democratic party and something that we as a party have to face up to is that we have absolutely lost our credibility with people who are at the lower end of the economic scale. we're a party that thinks that we are representing them and thinks we're talking to them but we actually are not doing a very effective job. >> that was anita dunn and she was essentially in charge there in the white house. but this was all evident. biden's approval rating was under water for years and even after passing an economic wish
1:05 am
list for far left radicals his economic approval ratings remained abysmal because it was a terrible plan. so what's next for democrats? they can either work with trump and enact his agenda that voters wanted that trump has a mandate for or mount another resistance that's doomed to fail. joining me now is alex marlow, breitbart editor in chief and congresswoman anna paulina luna. congresswoman, i want to start with you, thanks for joining us, both of you. i want to start with you. you walk the halls of congress, you're rubbing shoulders with these people on a daily basis. what are the democrats signaling. are they going to work with the republicans and actually try to get some stuff done that's for the good of the country or they just going to flail and spew things and just act like little kids and, you know, not even second grade? >> you know, unfortunately i think that a majority of the
1:06 am
democrat party is comprised of, you know, people that just want to obstruct president trump's agenda. and, you know, it's interesting because when you hear them talk about, you know, the identity crisis that they're essentially having that's multifaceted. there's a group of left is the in the democrat party that want marxism and socialism and then there's the more moderate democrats but they're increasingly getting poached in their primaries and sent out. i bring this up all the time but if you're spending your time in washington and stuck in the washington bubble of course you're going to lose sight of what the american people want and that is exactly why the republican party has become the party of working class americans and essentially the democrats are now representing corporation. so it's been interesting to see that shift but hey i'm here for it and here to help president trump pursue his agenda in washington and we're going to get it done. >> alex, the vice-presidential candidate tim walz, he's done some soul searching since the
1:07 am
election, but here's what he thinks why they lost. watch this alex and then i want to get your reaction on the other side of it. >> i thought it was a real flex when the wall street journal pointed out that i might have been the least wealthy person to ever run for vice-president and i thought that would be something would say this guy knows where we're coming from he knows how to pay his bills not enough was put on inflation and that disconnect was obviously in the results. >> that's an oversimplification, alex what's your reaction to what walz thinks is the reason they lost by huge margins? >> yeah we're not into class warfare anymore we don't care if you're rich or poor we care if you're authentic. tim walz was the weirdest in washington and he had the gall to talk about j.d. vance who's the most normal saying he's the weirdo. he's so out to lunch. they had three messages trump's going to take your a, boss probably not true, trump is a
1:08 am
threat to democracy the voters disagreed and we really hate trump and you should too. the voters like trump more popular than he's ever been they're so lost and no way they marry the squad's views with normal people's views. >> congresswoman planned parenthood took it really pretty hard. they're struggling, their ceo does not understand why democrats can't unite the country. have a look at what they have to say about it. >> we also saw a closing argument that was grounded in white nationalism and supremacy and patriarchy. how are you inviting people and the positivelysation that seems to be locked in a different structure and one that is reinforcing, you know, some very problematic identities identity politics and other politics focused on hate and division. >> congresswoman what's your reaction to planned parenthood's take on the election? >> it's infuriating right because they try to box everyone
1:09 am
into these titles and these just awful reputations and stereotypes. look, planned parenthood, people like myself, people like amber rose that don't fit their narrative and what they expect women to be, which is basically, you know, male-hating, pro-abortion flag-waving a-z lgbt qr whatever: they're wondering why america doesn't embrace the democrat party look at what they're fighting for and the other commentator on here nailed it. you know, they want people to hate trump. they don't want the country to succeed. they think the country's the worst nation on the face of the planet. and these simply are not true. and so, you know, i see stuff like that it's just infuriating because there are some incredible people. we don't need gender ideology, this race-based hate messaging to get our message across and that's i think why the republicans won so handedly this election cycle and why president trump is essentially now the most powerful man in the world.
1:10 am
>> bret: yeah. alex, if you really break it down and think about it, the democrats are fighting against the idea that somebody wanted to make america great again, that he wanted to like lock down the boarders, make people more safe, more secure. they were against that. couldn't do that. >> yeah. it's amazing to watch what joe biden's doing in this 11th hour of his presidency. it seems like he's trying to show chaos throughout the country. they're trying to accelerate illegal aliens getting jobs in the country, they're selling off the border wall which is clearly designed to sabotage trump they're making the middle east and eastern europe much more chaotic. this is a true disgrace and something history will shine very poorly on this but it's important that trump notes all of this and reverses everything biden's doing in the 11th hour on day one. >> yeah, amen to that. look, donald trump was the very best candidate, he was the best messenger and he actually had a plan that was going to work and america was fed up with being
1:11 am
lectured to by these woke dei-oriented people who wanted to tell you that they were the party of joy but they hate america at the same time. congresswoman and alex thank you so much for joining us on the ingraham angle. we do appreciate it. >> thank you. >> all right, joe biden's pardon palooza yesterday was the biggest single-day act of clemency in the history of the united states. nearly 1500 people had their prison sentences commuted, while another 39 were pardoned all together. the commutations were particularly egregious. along with multiple notorious drug offenders, there was rita crundwell one of chicago's most infamous fraudsters she embezzled nearly $54 million from the tiny town of dixon illinois to fund her horse ranch and lavish life style. authorities at the time called it the largest municipal fraud
1:12 am
in american history. so, of course, you know, joe biden wanted to let her go. and maybe the worst of all its corrupt former pennsylvania judge michael connahan. he pled guilty in 2010 for the cash for kids scandal. maybe you remember this one. where connahan took millions in kickbacks for sending kids to for-profit detention facilities. he destroyed thousands of families club tam fohns 0 whose son committed suicide after being locked up by connahan. again joe biden thought that was a good guy to let go. joining me now is kentucky congressman james comer the chairman of the house oversight committee. he's like my third favorite chairman of that committee i hope you understand why. he's also the author of the upcoming book all the president's money, all the president's money, congratulations congressman on in the book, that is really
1:13 am
going to be a neat think to see about how the biden family was enriching themselves. but i have to ask you about the commutations and the pardons. that was a lot to do in one day and we still got like 40 days of biden in office. what was behind these commutations? >> i have no idea jason. you, one, might think that he did this to shift the narrative on the pardons away from the biden family influence peddling to other people. i would have assumed that he would have picked people that were incarcerated falsely, incarcerated with excessive sentences for minor drug offenses, whatever. but the crimes that you mentioned are unspeakable. to think that they would get a pardon. joe biden is already abused the pardon power more than any president in history and i'm pretty confident he hasn't even started the pardoning process yet. >> well, that's the thing. i mean i think there are a lot
1:14 am
of people that anticipate that he's going to pardon more people within the biden family. >> yep. yes. i think he will. remember, the house oversight committee issued two criminal reefs referrals to the department of justice one on hunter biden for perjury the other jim biden the brother, we brought him in, he was under oath he lied. we have the evidence he lied. no democrats disagreeing that he lied. that's a felony as you know jason to lie to congress. so you mentioned one of the pardons was a judge that got kickbacks, i can tell you from this investigation, the biden family, including joe biden, they look favorably on people that receive kickbacks. that's part of doing business in washington. and it's unfortunate, i think the american people are finally seeing how the bidens truly operate. they're seeing the lack of ethics, the lack of morales. and joe biden has no shame and i think he's going to burn it down
1:15 am
on the way out and i believe he hasn't even really begun pardoning people yet. >> yeah, they always said, oh, but, joe biden, he's so nice. he's just so nice congressman. i can tell you, when i was the chairman, we would identify outright fraud and abuse. but, you know, they don't give members of congress handcuffs. you have to make the referral then the department of justice has to do its work. but one name that could be on the potential pardon list, from biden, is hillary clinton. watch this. >> do you think it would be wise of president biden to preemptively pardon any potential targets. what about your wife, hillary clinton? >> if president biden wanted to talk to me about that i would talk to him about it but i don't think i should be giving public advice on the pardon power. >> well, interesting take. what's your take on it congressman? >> well, i think that joe biden's going to pardon a lot of
1:16 am
people and i think that hillary clinton's serb certainly a prime candidate to be pardoned. we all know she destroyed evidence. we know that she committed crimes that had she been a republican, joe biden's department of justice would have prosecuted 'em. >> yeah. well. >> congressman, chairman congratulations on the book all the president's money coming out soon. thanks for joining us tonight. >> thank you >> all right, president trump and jd vance are attending tomorrow's army/navy game, sure to be a good game but should be also very interesting because it looks like special guest daniel penny will be joining them in landover maryland. let's go to fox news correspondent christina coleman with the latest. christina. >> reporter: hi, jason. yeah, it's been a big week for daniel penny he was acquitted of homicide in the choke hold death case on monday. new york prosecutors slapped penny with several charges that could have ended up landing him behind bars for up to 15 years over jordan too neely's depth he
1:17 am
was a homeless man with a history of mental illness threatening people on the subway underscoring the subway problems new yorkers have to deal with sometimes. penny said he would have felt guilty if someone would have gotten hurt and since then many have held penny as a hero. president elect jd vance has invited the military veteran to the army/navy game as his personal guest. he wrote on x daniel's a good guy and new york mob district attorney tried to ruin his life for having a backbone. i'm grateful he accepted my invitation and hope he's able to have fun and appreciate how much his fellow citizens admire his courage. in a fox nation interview, judge jeanine pirro asked penny what he would say to a jury of his piers who felt unanimously that he commit in order wrong doing. here is his response. >> it is i would like to give them a hug. i would like to thank them,
1:18 am
yeah, definitely. i mean, it takes a lot of courage, especially in this climate in new york city, to stick up for me. >> reporter: penny clearly emotional there. well now he can enjoy his first weekend at the end of the trial at the army/navy game in maryland with president elect donald trump and j.d. vance. should be a great time. jason. >> christina thanks. great story. he is a hero, daniel penny and i'm glad things turned out all right. sorry for the hell he had to go through. ahead new drone sightings across the country and trump, well, he has a message for biden about what to do. the details next.

♪ >> jason: mysterious drones aren't just swarming new jersey. they have been reported sightings in at least five states. after days of no explanation from the federal government, this phenomenon has prompted president trump to comment tonight on truth social. quote, mystery drone sightings all over the country. can this really be happening without our government's knowledge? i don't think so. let the public know and now.
1:24 am
otherwise, shoot them down. end quote. and it's not just trump. this is a bipartisan sentiment. . we should be doing some very urgent intelligence analysis, and take them out of the skies especially if they're flying over airports or military bases. they should be shot down, if necessary. >> jason: but the white house is still convinced there's nothing to worry about. >> we haven't been able to corroborate everything. i say many of the corroborated sightings have turned out to be piloted aircraft, i didn't say all and as i said those are the ones we have been able to corroborate. there have been ones we have not been able to and we don't know the answer to it. >> jason: joining us now is texas congresswoman beth van duyne and retired us army lieutenant colonel danny davis.
1:25 am
thank you so much for joining us tonight. it's captivating a lot of people because a lot are seeing with their own eyes and the federal government is out there telling us we shouldn't believe them. a public affairs officer at naval station earl says quote multiple instances of unidentified drones entering the air space, end quote. that couldn't be any clearer. how is it possible that the biden administration still has no answers and really is essentially denying that it's even happening? >> does anybody believe the biden administration at this point? we had chinese balloons how many days did that take to get down. i actually agree with the democrat senator. if you've got drones that are flying over military installations, shoot them down. who is in control right now? is it the do d, fda, doj, homeland security? is it the president? is the president even answering the phone? we know that we've got these --
1:26 am
are they surveillance devices? we don't know, we don't know where they're coming from. and i know that i join with my colleagues that are on the intelligence committee that are on homeland security they're asking the questions but the problem is we're not getting any answers from this administration and the answers we're getting we're still questioning. so god love it i request not wait until trump comes into office the president will take these things seriously and get some answers but we don't even know what's going on locally at the state level. do we need to update our laws with drone technology? we know that we're falling behind we see with the ukrainian russian war how advanced these systems are and we know that we are not there and not prepared and i look at what's happening in texas and some of these drones that are going over houston, the port of houston. you've got the largest national infrastructure in our country right there. you've got our oil reserves, you've got our pipe lines and you've got a port and if those are attacked the devastation that could cause to our country
1:27 am
could be insurmountable. >> jason: yeah, lieutenant colonel young the laws on the books or the defense systems are put in place. this has been an ongoing issue for more than a decade and they're not prepared. now earlier today the department of homeland security secretary mayorkas, he spoke about this. have a look and then i want to get your comments on the other side. >> we have not seen anything unusual. we have not seen any unusual activity. we know of no threat. we know of no nefarious activity. we have deployed our state of the art technology. we've employed our experts to new jersey. that technology has not confirmed any drone sightings. >> jason: you have a military base that's confirming it. how is it that the secretary of homeland security is saying we see no evidence of this? >> wow, i've got to say that i'm
1:28 am
not easily shocked here in washington, dc but that shocked me that in light of all the reports that have been out there and goodness gracious, this goes back, you know, months actually. this is not anything new. you may recall that for 17 straight days these were sighted over langley air force base just right outside of washington and nothing was done about them. nothing was done here and now you want to try to tell me that hey there's nothing unusual? this is very unusual. and the fact that we still can't identify them or take them down, no one's willing to give that direction, is a real big red flag because i'm telling you the potential threat to the united states, yes, nothing has happened so far but the potential threat is going through the roof because we don't have the systems to defend ourselves and i assure you that our adversaries are paying a lot of attention. >> congresswoman, earlier this week, not a monthing a, no. three months ago, this week, in california, a chinese citizen was arrested for allegedly
1:29 am
flying a drone over and taking photographs of vandenberg space force base. he was caught with another chinese man, who was in china just four days prior. how can the secretary of homeland security tell us that nothing's going on when earlier this week two chinese were at our space force base with a drone in the air taking pictures and doing who knows what? >> the lies continue to come out of this administration and no one should look at that and not second guess it. they've been doing this the entire administration. we have five, six more weeks until we're actually going to have a president in there that people will pay attention to but we don't know what's going to happen in the next six weeks. we know that our foreign adversaries, those who want to do us harm are going to continue to push and push and push and see how far they can get in the weeks that will going to be in front of a trump administration. but you've got people who are not even at the wheel who are
1:30 am
unable to make a decision right now and as a result our national security is at a considerable fault right now and i just berks i just hope that in the next few weeks we don't see something disastrous happen but we have a lot of places that could happen. again i mention in texas, you're going to see it in california, you're seeing it in new jersey. if we have these foreign drones that are over our military installations, why have they not been shot down. why have we not set a precedent? >> jason: amen to that. >> great question to ask and log for answers and not getting them. >> jason: people can't go in their backyard and shoot them down with their shotgun as tempting as that is because what goes up must come down but lieutenant colonel they have to do something and do it now what's your advice as to what's going to happen the next 40 days. >> pay attention to what's going on in the russia ukraine war. drones are front and center.
1:31 am
this is a big problem for a separate reason r80-90% of all the drones on both sides are knocked down with either shooting them down or with electronic warfare so they're advanced in their ability to take these things down. how can it possibly be that our pentagon has not given that capability to our own forces today. now imagine if we had to go to war with some of these people they're way ahead of us. this needs to change fast. >> jason: congress -- currently davis, congresswoman, i could spend all hour on this because what happens when a drome swarm comes at us and they're armed? then what are we going to do, have secretary mayorkas come up and say there's nothing happening out there. we don't believe you anymore, you've lied to us for years but thank goodness donald trump's around the corner because i have no doubt he'll get it done. thank you so much for joining us. just ahead, the duke lacrosse accuser, do you remember her? well, she just confessed to lying. what made her do it in this disgusting story that's coming up next.

1:39 am
whose face you put on the screen what about the state attorney general in north carolina back in 2006, both of them are equally if not more responsible. why? because local and state prosecutors are the gate keepers for victim, alleged victims like this who come forward and want to ruin the lives of somebody else by say they were sexually assaulted. until we start vetting out these liberal prosecutors that are looking at a case like this saying oh, there are racial overturns let me go after these lacrosse players who are white and elevate my political career. jason we just saw this happen with daniel penny, another renegade liberal prosecutor who wanted to use penny to try to elevate his and her political career and that has to stop. >> jason: so the interview with crystal mangum took place at the north carolina correctional institute for women because she's serving 14-18 years for her 2013 conviction of the 2011

operating on shaky foundations when it comes to giving puberty blockers or changing physical characteristics. of course this comes as no surprise for viewers of the angle. but the left, in this country, is trying to argue -- now get this -- that 2-year-olds, 2-year-olds know they're transgender. have a look. >> this is medical treatment that provides critical benefits to adolescents who need it. and these are young people who may have known since they were two years old exactly who they are. who suffered for six, seven years before they had any relief. and what's happening here, it's not the kids who are consenting to this treatment it's the parents who are consenting to the treatment. >> joining us now is dr. marc siegel, fox news senior medical analyst and nyu professor of medicine. doctor how they make some assertion that a 2-year-old who doesn't even know what a green bean is, can determine what sex they are is just mind boggling to me.

i don't get it try to explain it to us. >> because gender confusion jason is very, very common in very young children and the last thing we need is parents superimposing a political ideology. that's why states as liberal as sweden and denmark and france have also banned this and the uk by the way, studied this over the past year and here's a study you're not going to hear from the left. they studied the issue of mental health and they found that gender-affirming care or puberty blockers or surgery actually worsens mental health mosh it improves it. so that was the usual selling point. we've got to do it early because the kids are suffering, let's make them suffer less but actually in the uk they found they suffered more and i say, you know, if somebody is confused, if a child is confused, they should be seeing a mental health counselor maybe so should the parent but there's no venn for politics here. here's the medicine. i already mentioned the mental

fellow at the steam boat institute. terry i'm going to start with you. any ideas what a culturally responsive computer science camp is? because we spent a lot of money doing that? >> no clue jason and thanks so much for having me. listen, i think that americans basically expect washington and congressmen in dc to waste billions of dollars every year, but what they don't expect is to have their tax dollars weaponized against them and their children. our kids, only a third of them can read and do math at grade level and mile while our federal department of education is teaching our kids to judge each other by their skin color. it's absolutely terrible. >> kayleigh, this is money that could have gone to schools and to classrooms and could have followed the kids instead it's going to grants that are out there to teach dei. what's your take on a billion dollars that didn't go to the kids? >> well, now we know why the incoming trump administration wants to just abolish the education department all together, jason. it's because of this kind of stuff. and, listen, we as united states

taxpayers, we deserve better than hundreds of millions of our hard-earned taxpayer dollars going to these sorts of initiatives that do nothing to improve academic progress. you mentioned one grant that was awarded to philadelphia's public schools this restorative justice program which by the way was led by a communist sympathizer which i'm sure will not surprise you. keep in mind 65% of philadelphia's public school children, they are not reading at grade level. that is an embarrassment. so the question now is not why should we get rid of the education department, which clearly is not able to do anything remotely useful. it's how in the world can we continue to justify propping up such an ineffective agency. >> jason: terry, can you come up with a justification on why we should be giving out grants as opposed to letting those monies flow into these schools and school districts? >> no, i can't. and, in fact, i had to pull my kids outs of the public schools here in fairfax county,

virginia, where it's supposed to be one of the top ten school districts in the country. but they're intock nating our kids they can't tee teach them how to read. jason i'm so glad president trump got elected and named linda mcmahon, linda mcmahon of all people to come down and put the smackdown on the department of education and crack down on all this dei nonsense. >> jason: real quick kaylee dei isn't just an american problem here's justin trudeau take a look. >> the united states decided for a second time to not elect its first women president. everywhere women's rights and women's progress is under attack. i am and always will be a proud feminist. will you always have an ally in me and in my government. >> jason: yeah, says the male justin trudeau. maybe we voted for competency. we've only got 15 seconds or so kaylee but your comments to the
