tonight. christmas is a time when we recall the characters nativity, the holy family, the wise men, the shepherds, leave it to joe biden to resurrect the one character none of us asked for king herron. today with a stroke of his prep joe biden embraced the herron principal rewarding murderers while ignoring the innocence and their families commuting the death sentence of 37 of the 40 criminals on death row. biden says guided by my conscious and my experience as a public defender, i'm more convinced than ever that we need to stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. in good conscious i cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that i halted. his informed conscious moved him to extend mercy to convicted criminal lives over innocent victimized ones. why didn't biden's conscious kick in on behalf of the one

million unborn kids a board exterminate due to his policies not to mention the abortion pills he sent to the drug stores across the nation. i want to introduce you to the sterling individuals that biden has such mercy towards and more importantly their victims. this is thomas sanders whom a jury unanimously found had no remorse for his victims. in 2010 he viciously murdered a mother and her daughter. senator eric schmitt is stunned by the commutation of sander's sentence. >> alexis roberts went on a camping trim with her mother and thomas sanders, thomas sanders on the way back took her mother out and executed her in cold blood in front of lexis then slit lexus roberts throat and let her die in the woods. this is someone that joe biden, on the even of christmas, decided to commute his sentence. this is nuts. >> raymond: i'll say.

and to do it on christmas eve eve is frankly disgusting. think of the poor families of these victims just before christmas getting this news. like the family of laura hobbs and crystal tobias. in 2005, these two little girls were riding their bikes in their chicago neighborhood when jorge a via torres squalled and stabbed the girls to death. this is crystal's brother alberto. >> my mom tells my dad that my sister was found and that she was dead. my dad ran upstairs, he was crying, it was the first time i've ever seen him cry. my brothers woke up, they heard everything and they were sobbing, they were crying, loud. >> raymond: four years later, jorge avea strangled amanda schnell a naval officer for which he got the death penalty.

ricardo sanchez and daniel troya was relieved of their death sentence today by joe biden. in 2006 they shot and killed an entire family in cold blood. where is the mercy for these victims? and i haven't even gotten to the murderers who killed officers and prison guards. the death penalty is not handed out casually but to protect the prison population and society at large from the most hardened criminals and a court of their peers decide this is their fate. still, some used moral arguments to encourage biden's herrodian mercy. >> pope francis have called on president biden as have many other criminal justice reform leaders faith leaders to step aside from federal death penalty because frankly former president trump executed quite a few, directed the execution of quite a few individuals on federal death row. >> raymond: it's called following the law and as far as the morality of the death

penalty as the esteemed thee low jan a dry point ped out from st. paul to thomas aquinas on down the line there is a long christian tradition defending the state's rights to execute heinous criminals. the definitive ending point might even be seen as merciful. think of it, it grants criminals a definite time a chance to make restitution, a time to make amends to god for their crimes and maybe save their souls if not their bodies. isn't that an act of mercy where they showed none. today the united healthcare shooter luigi mangione was mugging it up in a courtroom wearing matching outfits with his lawyer as if they were at a christmas party. saturday night got this mention. >> luigi mangione dropped --

[cheers] >> definitely woo. >> raymond: i won guerre if they'd cheer if he had gunned down their husband or father in cold blood. mangione denies all the claims but the government is pursuing the death penalty. you know what that means? biden still has 27 days to grant him a blanket commutation so i'm sure he's looking at at the new year. i also said pursuing the christ child and the holy family reveals the dark side of christmas. even amid great light evil continues to move. today, joe biden reminded us of the dark side of christmas and that innocent families still await true justice and mercy >> joining us now, andrew cherasky former federal prosecutor and paul mauro former nypd detective and fox news contributor. thank you both for being here. andrew is there any legal

justification for these commutations or is this purely joe biden's ideology or pressure from certain groups in his base? >> this is soft on crime joe biden. it has been that way from the beginning of his administration to the very end. you know, i'm most curious who's behind this because, remember, joe biden isn't competent enough to stand trial, according to the doj, but he's competent enough to commute these sentences of the countries most heinous murderers and killers out there? i find that to be outrageous and i think that it's time to know who's really behind the helm here. when donald trump takes over in just a few weeks, i think we need to look back at this and make sure that everything was done according to the procedure that's put in place to review these types of cases. now the president has great authority to pardon and commute so i think this falls technically within his authority, but i have serious questions about his competence to be looking at these

individual cases and making decisions that have such grave consequence especially to the victims out there. >> raymond: paul, the biden white house said today in a statement, this historic clemency action builds on the president's record of criminal justice reform. the president's criminal justice record has transformed individual lives and positively impacted communities, especially historically marginalized communities. paul who is being positively benefited by this exactly. >> yeah, tren de aragua, exactly. let's ask if the family of laken riley feels like they've been positively impacted by this administration's criminal justice policies. look, the entire thing is just an opportunity to go down virtue signaling right down to the wire. if this is such a matter of conscious, if this is one of these things where he just cannot live with the death penalty with state-sanctioned

killing of a human being, then how is he making the distinction between 37 and the other 3? is the execution of the escabado family not heinous enough? is that the story? how is it possibling he can draw the disextinctions. realistically what this comes down to is joe biden doesn't seem to understand one of the uses of the death penalty and i'll go to an example you used which is people already incarcerated. what deturnt now if you're doing life not to kill a prisoner or prison guard? he doesn't seem to understand the concept of walls. there's a reason we have walls, a reason we have to thin the herd and keep certain people away from the rest of us whether it's the southern border or prison walls somehow or other that just seems to rock his conscious. >> raymond: paul, that's a great point. i wonder if he's ever been to death row. i went to angola earlier this year in louisiana, and i have to tell you when you see the hopelessness in those guys'

eyes, part of their hopelessness is they aren't sure when this is going to end. when if they had that definite time when they knew in two years i'm gone, it focuses the conscious and might allow them to make restitution and maybe change and transform their lives in prison. in if meantime we're exposing the prison guards to even more heinous crimes and a lot of these people, a lot of the crimes commuted today, these death penalties, were related to attacking our officers in the prison system. >> true. >> raymond: i'm going to play this for you andrew, congresswoman iyonna presley praised it today. >> state sanctioned murder is not justice it is not a deterrent for crime. it does not support healing it is not compassionate and today what president biden did demonstrated moral leadership, compassionate leadership informed by his own faith. >> raymond: andrew, she also posted a statement earlier today

where she described the death penalty as racist. your reaction. >> you know, the death penalty is something that is to be reserved for very serious cases. there's a lot of reasons why the death penalty is part of our legal system federally speaking. now, some people have issues with the death penalty. that's to be handled democratically and legislatively but what joe biden did today and you see it in his statement is he removed that law basically, the idea that we have democratically put this in place, and he's decided he doesn't believe in the death penalty. he's not left that to the law, he's operating outside of the law and he's doing that to make sure that donald trump doesn't follow the law when he's in office. i find that to be particularly outrageous. if we want to have conversations about the death penalty and who should get it and who shouldn't get it, that's something that we need to be doing in the halls of congress and we need to be doing that when people are voting. but to take that away from donald trump, who would have

been within the legal bounds to do that, that's the real problem here. >> raymond: andrew and paul thank you for your insight. i think you definitely hit an angle that people are missing here. this is a political movement as well as, you know, criminal -- part of his criminal justice reform. thank you both we'll check in in in the days ahead merry christmas gentlemen >> now to a disturbing story out of new york city. a guatemalan illegal immigrant was charged with murder and arson today after allegedly setting fire to a woman on a new york city subway burning her alive. i want to warn families, this video is a little graphic. 33-year-old sebastian khalil is accused of using a lighter to ignite a woman's clothing, according to police. it became fully engulfed within seconds. and in a truly chilling move, video appears to show the suspect sitting on a bench watching the victim burn.

he was arrested after police got tipped off by three high schoolers who recognized his wanted photo. joining me now joe borelli minority leader of the new york city council. joe, thank you for being here. this illegal immigrant was already deported back in 2018 under the trump administration but he came back. what's happening to your city? why -- and then i want to ask why the cop in the video we saw there just was walking past this poor woman while she's engulfed in flames. >> look, donald trump and tom homan can't come soon enough and rescue new york city from the failings of the democratic party. let me tell you what the democratic party did. they placed a bet and they bet all of our public safety, they bet against us on sanctuary city policies, they bet against us on eliminating consequences for people who behave erratically and dangerously in the sub ways, they passed laws to protect criminals through bail reform and raise the age law and the net consequence is that we have

people like this who actually were apprehended by law enforcement previously, now free to roam new york city sub ways and light this innocent woman on fire. it's heinous and frankly i can't wait for the trump administration to come in and start deporting people who are here and committing these violent incredible acts. >> raymond: yeah, no, these people should not be allowed to keep reentering and reentering. it's outrageous. look, the day before this happened, governor kathy hochul of new york bragged about how safe the subway is due to her. >> on the subway train heading out to queens center. i have a lot of not quite last minute but i have holiday shopping to do. i can take the subway wherever we need to go and i want all new yorkers to feel safe which is why we added so many national guard over 250 more people to make sure that your ride is safe. >> raymond: joe, she even doubled down yesterday on x, the day of this arson, where this poor woman was burned, and also

yesterday two stabbings on the same new york city subway. >> yeah, this crime only happens to be the one that gets the headlines but two people were stabbed, one fatally in queens. but this is a woman who is just disconnected from reality. you can't have both things. you can't have safe sub ways and at the same time need to call in the national guard, the people who come to serious emergencies and place them on every subway train and platform. those two things aren't the same, they can't exist in similarity. and unfortunately for her, the picture she's trying to paint is not the one that normal new yorkers face. i challenge her, leave your police detail at home, get on the subway late at night, early in the morning, go by yourself and see how you feel. because you'll feel like regular new yorkers who know the unease they get in their stomach when they find somebody mumbling incoherently on the subway platform or feel unsafe with a dangerous man behind them. i want kathy hochul to tell us the subway is safer.

it's not. >> raymond: horrible. do you think the red sents on part of the bystanders and the cop on the daniel penny situation have anything to do with this. they watched this poor man get dragged through the legal system for defending the fellow citizens on the subway. maybe that's why they kept walking as they burned in the subway car. >> unfortunately we know new yorkers are more prone to sit idly by when things happen because of the case that alvin bragg brought. this is someone who routinely lets out hardened criminals and throws the book. a people whether it's donald trump for political crimes or daniel penny for defending fellow subway riders. this is a guy who has a perfect verse view of justice not shared by the majority of new yorkers and unfortunately, you know, he's got a democratic primary to face and no one's really challenging him. >> raymond: our heart breaks for that poor woman we keep them in our prayers those who were stabbed and all the victims we talked about tonight. joe thanks, i hope local

officials take their responsibilities as well and not just wait for tom homan and donald trump to come clean up the city. coming up you'll hear directly from donald trump about his plans for the country. wait until you hear this preview. ingraham angle continues in a moment.

their trust and in return we're going to bes give them the best day-one, the biggest first week and the most extraordinary first 0 days of any president in american history. >> raymond: nobody sells it better than trump. and, look, his optimism seems to be catching. according to a cbs poll 57% of americans are feeling hopeful heading into a 2025. that's a 10-point jump from this time last year. joining us now victor davis hansen senior fellow at the hoover enconstitution.or victor thank you, for being wir us. trump isumal calling this a come sense revolution. whenwh was the last time we saw what is in essence a unity administrationd ho made up of fr political rifles in some cases and how do you think this is going to pan out. >> we haven't seen it in our lifetime. we had something similar with the reagan exuberance but he has

all of the levers of powers in h his hands, raymond. he has t thehe house, he has th white house, he has the senate, he has a sympathetic supreme ur court, a mandate with popular and electoral vote but most e importantly every single message or policy you articulated had overwhelming public support.on they want a counter revolution. they want to gey wo back to a nl america. they think a the basics of amera are intact but the operation or ththeme expression of them has terribly wrong the last four years. so there's a lot of good will and he brought in everybody. when you saw him at mad sore square garden with joe rogan, dana white, rfk, tulsi gabber and you have people like elon and bill akman david sacks i've a wide disparityl of people who want this to worki and i think it will work if the keep disciplined andth their ey on the ball and i think they can

do that. >> raymond: yeah. victor trump brought up the panama canal yesterday. listen to this. i want youg r reaction. >> we're being ripped off at the panama canal like we're being ripped off everywhere else. principles both morale and legal of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed then we will demand that u theni panama canal be returned to the united states of america in full, quickly and without question. i'm not going to stand for it. >> raymondma: of course, pan ma officials argie saying you're n taking an inch of this land you're not giving it to trump. also greenland he if you want post that the ownership and control of greenland is absolutely avict necessity. victor why is trump talking about this? what's the game here? >> i think he's trolling. i think he's sending a message to people around the world that the status quo is not t

sufficient. so the panama canal was designed to tie our two coasts an american project. he's not going to take it back k it's not going to come back but he's saying to panama you're oo flirting too much with the chinese and interference with the internal the affairs of the united states because without that canal we built and gave you we're going to be affected economically we're not going to he let that happen. so back off from the chinese and restore your empathy and close relations with u ss instead and saying to greenland, i think to denmark who owns greenland he's saying youa know, this is a va semi continent and you're a tiny country annsd the only reason t russians and chinese aren't there is because of the u.s. military so give us some appreciation, give us some e thanks once in a while because we controlan the sea lands and protect greenland vital to the westtes. europe and the united states but don't assume little denmark is in perpetuity keep it safe. >> raymond: i've got about 30 t seconds, i need to get this out

to you. the national security advisor, sullivan, jake sullivan said today that trump is being handed strong alliances, and that our adversaries are weaker than evea before. your reaction, victor davis hansen. >> why would we believe him, raymond? this is the same man just days before october 7th who assured the world that his mid east tf portfolio was so quiet it bordered on boredom and he was absolutely wrong then he's absolutely wrong now. w he was an architect of the bank ping hoax when he worked the hillary clinton campaign totaln fraud no credibility, none. >> raymond: we will leavse it there victor merry christmas to you thank you for being with us and see you in the new year. coming up the left is leaving ld their families out in the cold this year. i'll explain and mary madeline will join us in a rare interview

>> raymond: welcome back to the ingraham angle i'm raymond arroyo. christmas is the ideal time to set aside our differences come together and spend time with the people we care most about, though not everyone feels that way. >> if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, it's completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why. you know, to say, i have a problem with the way that you voted, i'm not going to be around you this holiday. i need to take some space for me. >> raymond: that's a yale psychiatrist, ladies and gentlemen. a new survey from the public religion research institute says

democrats are about five times more likely than republicans to ditch their family members because of their political views especially during the holidays. joining me now is probably the most qualified person in the united states to talk about this topic, republican strategist aka mrs. james carville, my pal mary matalin. mary give me your thoughts on this. people allowing ideology to intrude on family unity. >> i can't. i mean, raymond, come on. i mean, it's just, it's part of the larger problem, which is why i don't do tv anymore and i'm not a republican strategist, i never was a strategist, i was a utility player and i may become a republican again i'm so happy with what's being talked about and discussed and we want to see some outcomes and results. but politics is not a religion. it's like a cult. i bet those people who are saying you should avoid your family at holidays over politics

don't have families. and if they do, they must be extremely dysfunctional. we have to get through -- listen, i came from a loud family, you married into a loud family, i created a loud family. we have a thousand things to shout about. everybody in the family disagrees with me. but we never -- we don't fight about politics. how does that. >> raymond: no. >> bread and circuses people have really lost their way but i think they're going to have to figure out their problem is you cannot -- politics is a poor substitute for faith, for a belief system, for your heart, for your -- the love that you need to express to your family, your community and your church. that's just love. i mean, i don't understand these people and i don't have to understand them but i would not be mean to them if they came to my house for holidays. >> raymond: no. and you're not. you are a gracious to everybody. this is a woman by the way who's hosted bill clinton and

everybody in between. mary here is bill maher on this exact ashen of separating families over politics. watch. >> way back when, a guy who crossed lines politically, oh, the worst thing you could ever do, be friends with a republican, ah, call 911. this is what i [bleep] hate about the left. just the idea that, you know, cut your family off for thanksgiving they voted for the wrong guy. [bleep] off you [bleep]. >> raymond: mary tell me how you do it. you and james to not be more at odds politically. how do you come together especially at christmas let's say after an election like this. will this even be a topic in the caravel household? >> raymond, you have been at our house. he says hello by the way and says hello -- that guy with the beautiful wife, the beautiful wife, she's flawless, that woman is flawless. well because. >> raymond: she is. >> we live in new orleans we talk about faith and food and football and there's music.

i mean, that's the last conversation anybody wants to have. but, i'll tell you, we do talk about politics and we're going to be talking a lot about politics in new orleans. i'm a federalist. i think that people work best closest to the ground in this kind of environment in this mayoral contest next year we're in we're going to drag you down here you're covering it like white on rise. that's the politics that can be productive. also you may have noticed my husband is a little broke with woke and whatever, i can't even -- who wants to talk about that? he's hard enough to talk to any ways and i say that lovingly. >> raymond: mary my love to you and all the caravels merry christmas we'll get together soon. new orleans is the only place you can see mary matalin raymond

arroyo, done and a all at the same table. >> donna's in town for the sugar bowl so you'll see her for all of the holiday. >> raymond: sign me up. coming up, there's an all-out assault on religion this christmas season and the angle is fighting back. stay for that.

murray cannon lawyer and preach of the archdiocese of new york, father i have to read this to you. days before christmas the new york times featured an interview with princeton university religion professor elaine pagles titled a conversation about the virgin birth that maybe wasn't. it focuses on pagal's suggestion that jesus might have been fathered by a roman soldier possibly by rain. god help us. your reaction and does this have any historic credibility. >> this is propaganda masquerading as history. having read her comments she basically infers all kinds of things. she makes judgments about the historical value of the gobs pills. she claims that roman soldiers were raping women regularly in nazareth and they found the name of a roman soldier allegedly this was his crime against the virgin mary. this is all nonsense and gar bing, it's retread stuff she's

been doing it many years she's been author of a book on falls gospals. propaganda masquerading as history. the new york city, which must be shut down because christianity is under assault the week of christmas. >> raymond: they wouldn't try this with any other faith father. when i read this i thought who ever died for a fable. these apostles didn't lay down their lives because of the brothers grim. they did it because they saw and witnessed this man, who they believed was the messiah, they saw him resist rucked and they did believe in the virgin birth. this has been attested to all throughout history. let's talk for a moment about why this matters though father. i recently interviewed jordan peterson and he makes an interesting case that these biblical stories whether you believe or not are foundational to a free society. what would their loss mean, and

what is the impact of what the new york times is doing? >> yeah, this is an assault on the entire structure of western civilization, which is found order the belief in one god who revealed himself in his son, and then brought to fulfillment the promises of the old testament. so western history is founded on a good god who is just who created man with a purpose. sinful man is redeemed when he acts virtuously and seeks pardon from god. the whole christian order cultural legal and moral depends on personal responsibility and adherence to the truth. we believe that god has truth and we have access to that truth. all of these historians like pagals who tried to destroy christian foundations by making it into myth ony they are agents and propagandists they are not a authorians. where are they coming from? >> raymond: father here's a sign of hope i have to leave us with

a little hope. this is ravens coach john harbaugh after the game this weekend. watch. >> i read this to the team in our post game prayer and it's this. this is mary, she said, my soul magnifies the lord and my spirit rejoices in god my savior. rejoice. we aren't here on this earth to worry about every little thing. it's a big football week, all right? it's also a big life week, you know. it's a big spiritual week. >> raymond: father i love that he brings it all together. look, i think there's actually greater signs of renewed around us if you look around to see them. >> coach harbaugh's right on target a great week for our nation for our country and for our world because we celebrate god's intervention in history and if anybody thinks that isn't important, well, wake up on christmas morning and see all the people going to church and praying and thanking god and realizing there's more to life

than simply entertainment, there's much more to life than that there is salvation and that's what god offers to us. >> reporter: . >> raymond: father thank you for being here merry christmas we'll see you soon. hundreds of families just got the christmas trip of a lifetime. we talked to hollywood legend gary sinise who made it happen next. watch. that's the perfect age to see some old friends, explore new worlds, and to start screening for colon cancer. yep. with colon cancer rising in adults under 50, the american cancer society recommends starting to screen earlier, at age 45. i'm cologuard, a noninvasive way to screen at home, on your schedule. and i find 92% of colon cancers. i'm for people 45+ at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your provider if cologuard is right for you.
