>> no matter what the next administration throws at us, we are ready. >> look what happened. is this crazy? [ymca] >> it's not a political comeback to me it's a political refresh your recollection. >> guess what we got the second george washington. congratulations. >> this was history and don't forget where you were tonight. >> welcome. welcome back. >> appreciate it. thank you very much. and politics is tough and it's many cases not a very nice world but it is a nice world today. >> bret: amazing job by the "special report" staff with all of that. 2024 was quite a year. wait until 2025. we have got you covered. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it "special report" fair, balanced and still unafraid. ingraham angle with jason chaffetz, now.

>> jason: i'm chazin chaffetz and this is a special edition of "the ingraham angle." we ever all familiar with the resistance movement, organizing marches, wailing about the end of democracy and pledging early and often to impeach trump. but now they are taking a different approach. the resistance is going underground. biden and his pals are working overtime behind the scenes to trump-proof presidency. >> w what he is trying to do corner donald trump and box him in so the biden administration and the president is trying to prevent donald trump from doing as much damage as he possibly could do, which he could do a lot becoming president. i think joe biden is trying to box donald trump inasmuch as he can. it's limited but i think that's what his goal is. >> jason: we saw evidence of this soon after the election.

john podesta pledged to keep the spigot open and flood our economy with more spending on climate boondoggles, my team is back in washington hard at work suring for ukraine and chiewmple has own plan to stop trump. pack and use the courts. >> he really does believe that

the judiciary they kind of help to mold and create he talked about a fourth of the judges on the bench will be joe biden judges which is quite a few people. that will be the tip of the spear of the resistance against donald trump. >> thanks to schumer's last minute shenanigans biden has appointed more federal judges than any single term president since jimmy carter. the democrats' goal repealing biden's disastrous policies and enacting an agenda the voters actually want. >> in chuck schumer's argument a lot of democrats' eyes they won't have a lot of power. a lot of their fight will be rhetorical. so the judiciary and the people that are already in place or will be in place very soon are the folks who can defend and not just you the legislative accomplishments of the biden administration but also protect the other things like the myriad of other things that democrats have been saying they want to protect for years now.

>> jason: and if that doesn't work, democrats will cobble together their coalition to block any legislation that could benefit the american people. >> hakeem jeffries ability to coordinate problems for the trump agenda by keeping the democratic caucus unified and peel off a few republican votes may say a lot about how much of this trump agenda actually gets done. the senate, of course, more than enough senate democrats to use the filibuster to block legislation. >> once again, the so-called defenders of democracy are exposed as frauds. the american people resoundingly rejected biden-schumer agenda. rather than work with trump to enact common sense legislation that will restore america's greatness, the democrats are still falling back on old tired playbook. resist. >> joining me now florida congresswoman anna paulina

leona. congresswoman, i want to start with this because we had horrific hurricanes, natural disasters in hawaii. you had, you know, the people of lahaina, you still feel for them. you saw what happened with the desks with the hurricanes. now they announced spending another $1.25 billion and extending it to ukraine your thoughts? you know, jason. i was one of the impacted community in pinellas county we had 13 people die. and when pinellas county residents found fema dollars weren't just going to illegal immigrants but finding out that this administration wanted to even just recently pass in the cr ukraine or every other country but america, i think it goes to show that they aren't in touch. they aren't working on behalf of the american people, frankly, jason, it's insulting as an american pay so much in taxes what they do with it. >> congresswoman sam stein the

bulwark had a theory about biden's last moves on the ukraine-russia conflict. have a look at this. i want to get your reaction. >> the outgoing biden administration pumping weapons into ukraine and weighing the possibility of additional energy sanctions. trump could undo all of this, of course. but that would be a fairly politically precarious to take right out of the gate. >> jason: what are your thoughts on what he just said there? >> you know, i will say first and foremost and you know this of all people being on oversight that we actually saw direct evidence that the biden family was actually profiteering from ukraine, money going into their bank accounts and then you see what they're doing on last ditch effort on the way out. the fact is that for months we have been hearing from our friends in the senate that the biden administration was trying to run the traps to prevent president trump from having an aggressive foreign policy that would pursue peace, especially in that region. but, again, i think that one of the things that the american

people have to remember is even though there are going to be obstructionist bureaucrats in washington. that president trump in this incoming administration is absolutely going to correct people ahead of these departments to flush out all of the people that would be obstructionists. frankly, if they don't want to play ball, they're fired. >> jason: yeah. the oversight of that is going to be massive and it needs to be across the board. now, politico did a recent analysis of biden's biggest expenditures and found that congress provided, get this, $1.1 trillion, $1.1 trillion for biden's biggest climate clean energy and infrastructure programs. more than half of that spending, at least 561 billion has yet to be obligated and not yet available for agencies to spend. this seems like a huge opportunity to claw back literally hundreds of billions of dollars. >> yes. and it's an opportunity that congress needs to take

especially being that we have not just the house but the senate and now the white house. you know, there is something that we have in our legislative tool kit called rescissions where we can do that. also, too, one of the big tests for the republican majority is going to be during first reconciliation and talking about what we can safe in regards to money for the american people. this would be at the top of my list. i know that speaker johnson is probably going to have it at the top of his as well. and i just wanted to ensure the american people that we have a very big test ahold of us, right? we want to ensure that president trump has a clear runway as soon as he gets into office. that's going to be really key in bringing back money, saving it for the american people and then also correcting the mistakes of past congresses. >> jason: yeah, no kidding. congresswoman, happy new year. thanks for joining us tonight on the ingraham angle. all right. the biden brigade can resist all they want, but there is no stopping the trump train. the world is already bending to his will. canada wants to avoid becoming the 51st state. sending two top ministers to

mar-a-lago today to meet with trump. and border czar tom homan. our neighbor to the south is getting in on the action, too as mexico's new president started cracking down on, you know, those people trying to get in illegally to the united states with the cartels and bringing up their fentanyl. the country also says it ploons to open 25 shelters to house 12,000 mexican migrants deported from the united states to mexico. heck, trump has even convinced guatemala to do the same and take in deported illegals instead of sending caravans our way. and it's not just immigration. the economy is set to take off as financial leaders like morgan stanley's ceo rave that they're optimistic about the next year under donald trump. joining me now is alex marlow breitbart editor and chief and terry shilling. american principles project. all right.

alex, i want to start with you. he is heading into his second term. he has got more done since the election than just about anybody you could possibly imagine. it's not even january yet. and the president is making things happen around the globe. >> yeah. i was thinking about this last. it might be 10 2e78s long we are talking about nato allies and paying their fair share finally. talking about leaders in the middle east and in eastern europe talking about trying to aid president trump's agenda in terms of making sure there is no christian genocides in the middle east. no persecution of children and christians in the middle east. we are seeing mexico open up an emergency legal program to prepare for all the deportations that are happening. the canadians going down to mar-a-lago to kiss the ring because hopefully trump would impose tariffs on them. it's very cool the whole world is prepared for a made in america world. buying goods from us. not other way around. totally refer verse that part or

economy with trump. reverse all the stuff biden has done. we will get into that too. >> jason: trump has spoke about annexing canada. really trolling them making a 51st state. this is what kevin o'leary, you know him from shark tank. is he canadian. look what he said. have a look and i will get your comment. >> what this could be is the beginning of an economic union. think about the power of combining the two economies. erasing the border between canada and the united states and putting all of that resource up to the north borders where china and russia are knocking on the doors. i like this idea and at least half of canadians are interested. >> jason: kevin said he also headed down mar-a-lago to start the narrative. tea, what do you make of the optimism on this front? >> it comes down to one world that summarizing the result of this last election which is vindication, right? donald trump was so vindicated after everything that the left threw at him across the board

they tried to bankrupt him. at the end of the day, the jury came out and ruled him the next president of the united states. that was the american people. it's amazing how big of an effect one election can have. and that's the thing. listen, jason, we are not just seeing this with canada being talked about being the 51st state in the country. we are seeing tim cook, big tech companies. gentlemen and mika had to go down and grovel before president trump. everything they tried the first go around didn't work and not going to work the second time they try it. >> yeah. so, gallup released a new survey that 51% of americans. they approve of trump's handling two thirds thought we were off track. now they are looking at this transition and alex, trump's 2016 was featured far more

cabinet picks. do you think there is a difference this time around, cabinet picks this time compared to last time. really exciting people promises made, promises kept. donald trump is promising the exact people he promised us he would appoint. he is talking about the exact issues. russia and ukraine together. get peace going. tap our energy sector. illegal immigration crack downs. not just illegal. he wants to put mexico and canada on focus. all the stuff he talked about on the campaign trail. plus having a blast. the trump dance everyone is doing. can't get enough of this stuff. is he being himself, fully realized that's what we voted for and is he going to win more people over if he sticks with that. >> jason: you know, terry, i really feel there is a surge of patriotism i haven't felt in a long time and it's contagious. donald trump exemplifies that he personifies it. he loves the flag and people of

this country. yet, there has been such a void out there. he has really filled that void. do you feel that same sort of patriotism that i'm feeling? >> no, no. i completely agree with you. in fact, i have been say fargo while. i think the biggest crime of all of the progressive legacy media out there like msnbc and cnn, the biggest crime that they perpetrated was not them attacking trump or ruining his reputation but deproving the american people of a president that they should love and revere just as much as ronald reagan or fdr or lincoln. this guy is an absolute legend. he really does love his country. president trump is going to be -- i'm going to screw this up. sometimes i get it right. is he going to be in charge of the semi quintessential celebration of america. the 200th anniversary. that's going to be a great opportunity to really articulate what it means to be an american and why we are so proud and why we lo this country so much and why he got elected. perfect guy to be he had hymn for a major celebration.

that anniversary happening under president trump's watch is going to be a good one. thanks so much for joining us tonight. all right, coming up. democrats' new excuse for why illegals, they need to stay in the united states. ♪

♪ >> jason: democrats have come up with a new excuse to combat trump's coming deportations. it's the economy, stupid. >> the american economy is dependent in part on the labor of undocumented immigrants. and so when we talk about mass deportation, when trump talks about that to actually do it would decimate the american economy. >> without those migrants, it could cause huge price surges in the food industry. it can also cause the california wine industry to collapse. >> jason: listen, you can't let millions of illegals ruin the country to keep the cost down of a bobottle of merlot. that's not the way we do things in this country. the left will do and say anything to keep illegals here. joining me now is congresswoman beth van duyne and arizona congresswoman andy biggs. you are both on border states. appreciate i both joining us.

going to scare people, congressman, congressman biggs? is this going to scare people? imagine if you or i said we need to keep them here because we need low, cheap end lehner. labor. >> you and i would be labeled as racist. wouldn't we? >> jason, we have been hearing this for years. that if you deport people they are not going to pick your vegetables. hamburger as at mcdonald's going to be higher. won't clean your hotel room. keep prices down. the reality is they are making big profits doing this it. if this is such a great idea, why are these sanctuary cities and states going to the federal government and saying oh, by the way, we are going to need $5 billion to bail us out and deal with everything from education, healthcare, food costs, cell phones, all this stuff. yeah, they want to scare the ba

jeanies out of you. americans spoke loud and clear number one issue is we have got to close the that includes you have to remove people. >> yeah, it was our former colleague jerry nadler said oh who is going to pick the fruit or something to that effect. congresswoman, one of your colleagues across the aisle has the solution to fix the economy. have a look at this pathway for people to come into the country. we will slow economic growth if we don't have enough talented people here developing our artificial intelligence and other aspects of our technology industry. and we also need workers at all skill levels for construction, for service industries. >> jason: is he part of your texas delegation there what do you say to that argument? >> these are the people that told us inflation is transitory

and border is secure and biden is at the top of his game. shame on castro as a former mayor of san antonio, he knows it hurts the local level the most where you are seeing people who don't have access to healthcare, infrastructure, housing, education because of 20 million illegal immigrants entered our country. shame on him, he knows better. i'm speaking from experience. when i was mayor, city council of a large city in texas, we had a great partner swh p immigration and customs enforcement. we worked with ice and we stopped and targeted criminal illegal immigrants in our city and country illegally and we called ice and they were deported and top deportations in the country and as a result. we got rid of thousands and thousands of illegal criminal aliens out off our street. we became one of the fifth safest cities in the country and our economy flourished. people came from all around the world to move to irving, texas to set up businesses because they wanted to be in communities

that work -- that enforce the law. i sent out a letter to mayors in my district encourage them to work with ice and let them know we will be having round tables next month to talk about bartnerships and what resource these have available to them. congressman biggs what is going to happen when they start deporting people and committing more crimes? do you think it's going to be safer or more dangerous. >> it's going to be much sara. americans are going to feel safer, freer. they will be happier that's why they voted the way they did. good grief, you got san diego now voting to become a super sanctuary city if you brain somebody they want to release you back into the community. how nutso is that? one other point on that, jason. according to the census there is 53 million americans between the ages of 18 to 64 that are now pulled themselves out of the workforce. need to get those folks back in the workforce. trump's economy will do just

that. >> jason: guess what? the cost of house something going to go down, too. when you deport a couple million people consuming low income housing. guess what is going to happen? really quickly, congressman -- congresswoman van duyne, speaker johnson, does he get sworn back in as the next speaker? yes or no? he has such a narrow majority. is he going to be working with a senate. a senate bill. not just fighting other messaging bills, but fighting over bills actually make a difference. >> jason: congressman biggs is hing two make it over the finish line or going to have a tough time getting your vote? >> i'm noncommittal at this point. i'm a looker and seer. i hope we don't have any drama on january 3rd. as one who has authored drama before i hope there is no drama.

>> jason: all right. two of my gave rim people in congress. i appreciate you joining us tonight opt ingraham angle. >> i have never discussed my business or their business, my son's or daughters. >> i have never spoken with my son about his overseas business dealings. >> i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period. >> jason: turns out that was just more lies. newly uncovered photos obtained by america first legal appeared to show then vice president joe biden meeting with hunter's chinese business associates during a 2013 official visit and take a look who is in these other dad and son photos in that same trip? chinese president xi jinping. we're only getting these images now because america first legal sueded national archives and records administration to get them and the release was

reportedly delayed until, you know, conveniently after the election. joining me now is florida congressman byron donalds who is also on the oversight committee congressman h. congressman why do we get these votes late and what do they tell you? >> we got them late because it took america first legal suing the national archives. you remember them the same national archives that said for a couple years that donald trump was holding back classified information. they had to sue that national archives just to get access to these photos. and the people blocking these photos, none other than president joe biden and president barack obama. so, in that lawsuit they basically said we will finally release those to you after the election. surprise, surprise. look, at the end of the day, joe biden was corrupt. his family is corrupt. it took millions and millions from overseas. including chinese corporations. which we all know were backed by the chinese communist party.

the reason why? they were trying to make their own money using joe biden's position and politics because the biden family never ha business. they were trying to live off the largess of his access which was pay to play. the american people have seen through it. he has been defeated. he is leaving soon. this goes to show how corrupt the swamp really is. >> jason: when joe biden pardoned his son he said and i quote: for my entire career, i have followed a simple principle. just tell the american people the truth. i hope americans will understand why a father and a president would come to this decision. i mean, congressman, that's pretty rich about being truthful. do you expect more biden family members to be pardoned before he least office on january 20th? >> it's very possible. but, let's be clear. the reason why he pardons hunter biden is because hunter was the

bag man. he was the one making all the travel, moving the money around, working with the business partners. he had daddy on the phone at a moment's in the any time he neededson to make sure that hunter had access to the big guy, which is joe biden going out the door joe biden had to do not just to protect himself but to protect his family. his family has been built on the corruption of joe biden's position. that's the bottom line. does the brother jim biden, does he get a pardon? it's possible. the oversight committee, we all uncovered that it was jim biden's wife that wrote a check to joe biden for $40,000 and that $40,000, if you follow the money, it comes from one of the business interest that hunter biden had because of his connection, obviously, to his father who was a top of our politics for a very long time. >> i still want to understand why joe biden's grandkids got over $100,000 put into their

accounts. that's another story can i hear the critics, nice guy move on. already flushed this out. all these, you could you says to move on. i hope you and the oversight committee unveil the truth to its fullest. you have to get there to its fullest and i hope that's the commitment that you and the committee make. >> i totally agree. let's be honest about this piece as well. this was covered up by the mainstream media, obviously, beaver the democrat party. and by a lot of people who knew what was going on in the intelligence community. all to protect joe biden. and what has come out, the truth that has now been revealed to the american people, for as much as they wanted to talk about donald trump the last 8 years, it was actually joe biden and others i might add who have been destructive of america's democracy, thank god for the american people making the right decision on november 5th. >> jason: congressman, thanks for joining us tonight.

happy holidays, merry christmas and happy new year. appreciate all right. come up biden's christmas commutation of violent killers is receiving major backlash and the family of one of those victims, they join me next. you're going to want to see s this. creening 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.

>> jason: it's time for a tale of two presidents. there's joe biden who gave out early christmas presents to some of america's most vile killers. commuting the death row sentences of 37 people. and then there is donald trump who told those same killer to go to hell. strong words from a strong leader because trump knows the cruelty that joe biden just unleashed. he took killers like marvin

charles gab breon off death row. gab breon was convicted of killing 19-year-old rachel timmerman before she could testify against him in a rape case. >> she was handcuffed, her eyes bound, blinded with duct tape. her eyes bound held mute with duct tape. held with chains and thrown into oxford lake alive. >> lawrence: accused of killing daughter shannon. her body was never found. >> i want the man who murdered my daughter to know he is going to be put to death just as rachel knew as she was on the shores of oxford lake that she was going to be put to death. >> jason: joe biden took that justice away from them like he did the families of alex donovan and samantha burns. two men raped and murdered by

chad democratic fulks and after the pair escaped from prison and embarked on 17 day crime spree. both men sentenced to death row but biden just took them off of it same goes for brandon counsel convicted of killing two women during a bank robbery in 2017 he shot bank robber multiple times and did the same to catherine skeen who was hiding under her desk. he then stole one of their cars donna major's husband danny and their daughter heather turner join me now. thank you for joining us. this is tough. it's got to be amazingly tough for your family. explain to us -- maybe we could start, danny, tell us what your -- wife went through and what happened?

got convicted but did the biden administration, did joe biden ever tell you why they did what they did? will. >> no, they never told us why they did what they did. my belief was that they knew all along that he was going to do this. it started out six months ago that our prosecuting team talked to -- contacted us and told them that he was going for an appeal for a commutation. and they refused to visit with us in person in washington, which was a request that we made we got a short internet interview with them for about 10 minutes, and apparently it fell on deaf ears. >> it's frustrating. it's very frustrating that president biden can have this power. he wasn't charged for his own

mishandling of classified documents because he was too old and they said his memory was failing. only proved is he not capable of making presidential decisions at the presidential debate in june. so the fact that we are in this position today is so frustrating that biden is able to do this and that there is really nothing we can do. our hands are tied. >> is he a disgrace to the president of the united states. he is truly is. >> jason: heather, i read and correct me if i am wrong, but i read, i think, that you had forgiven this killer but there are consequences for somebody's actions, right? what did the jury say and what do you believe should have happened? >> absolutely, i have forgiven this man. to be honest i know that president trump's words are

strong. and i don't want that for brandon council. i don't want him to spend his life in hell i want him to know jesus christ as his personal savior that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve consequences there are consequences for the choices we make. brandon counsel made the choice that day to go in and kill my mother and to kill the other woman katy skeen in the bank and that deserves a consequence. at this point i feel like. >> jason: exactly how this process -- sorry, danny, let's go back to this process here how far before christmas? who is it that actually called? did you get a call? did you get an email? how did this actually work? >> well, our prosecution team called us the night before joe biden was supposedly going to commute these sentences. to mike us aware this was going to be going on. the decision had been made

already. at that point there was nothing we could do. his defense team during his appeal had 300 pages of why he should not be sentenced to death, including racial comments trial was racially motivated. the conviction and/or not the conviction but the sentencing. i just don't understand all 37 sentences commuted but yet, three, which i believe were politically motivated were not. i can't understand why my wife's life is worth less than theirs? i mean, if is he so he convicted -- >> jason: danny? >> yes, sir. >> jason: danny, my question four i believe that this killer confessed to the killing is my understanding. danny, what's your message to president biden tonight? >> my message to president biden

tonight would be i don't believe that you have any convictions. i believe that you -- you have no problem with millions of babies being killed in the womb, unborn babies. you have no problem with the three people who were did not get commuted sentences. pope. tell him that he should not continue on with these death sentences. is another thing that i don't understand, i don't understand what the pope should have to do with our rule of law. >> danny and heather, i feel for you. our heart goes out to you. this holiday season has got to be tough for this to come right before christmas and to have to go through this. our hearts go tout to you. god bless you: just know there are a lot of people that care about you and care about your

wife and your mom and you shouldn't have been treated like that, you really shouldn't have. thank you for joining us tonight on "the ingraham angle." >> all right. stay with us. did the democrats and their allies learn any lessons from electoral failures? we will examine it coming up next.

♪ >> jason: 2024 was a tough year for the left but did they learn any lessons? let's start with kamala's media allies. >> i was the first female vice president. history going to look kindly on her term. she has made some really important strides on behalf 6 women in the country. i hope we take a moment to acknowledge her extraordinary history making contribution and not just, you know, leave this her sole legacy as having lost the presidency. >> jason: her contributions you mean as the border czar or maybe coming in a distant second in a presidential race? well, joining me now is dr. nicole saphier, fox news contributor and all-around just great person. so, what was the big contribution? what was the big contribution of kamala harris? what was her -- she has been there for four years. defy you, nicole, to name

something. >> well, jason, so first of all it is a big beef to have the first female vice president. no one really voted for her and actually when she ran in her primary she was dead last. so, sure, the country rejected her in 2024. but democrats rejected her first in 2019. it wasn't that republicans rejected a female candidate. democrats rejected her first. i don't know in the last four years what those accomplishments were other than she was just the first female vice president. she certainly failed in many of the tasks given to her and unfortunately i think a lot of the administration they don't check the -- what they wanted to do or what people say they do because they are wanting to fluff it up a little bit. right now what they are doing is pointing fingers who to blame for losing the election. not able to clap for the progress going to come the next four years they will be too busy pointing fingers. >> i want to get your reaction to this quote bill clinton, former president featured in the

"new york times." and he said ideologically the people most likely to be against women are most likely to be conservative. so, when people agree with you it's easier to be for them. i think a woman can be elected president. i do. try that take sense of this wildly offensive to a lot of women, maybe they are not anti-women but anti-hillary clinton. the fact she wasn't trustworthy domestically or internationally. we had the whole white water scandal. how about the way four people were killed with bengals. people didn't want hillary clinton because hough she was. not because she was a woman. again, harris, let's remember democrats rejected her first. >> jason: right. polling sixth place behind andrew yang. that was unbelievable how far behind she was. and do you know what, nicole, the one thing they should focus

in on ideas and policies because they seem to be -- they got all these other excuses but they don't look at policies. they were prescribing policies that nobody wanted. and i wish i had more time with you. you know i do. i got to keep going. i went long in the last interview. happy new year best to you and your family. we got to move on. take you inside trump's big move back into the white house. that's coming up next. ♪ has been by your side. ontario, canada, a partner connected by shared history, shared values, and a shared vision for what we can achieve together. stable and secure, when the world around us isn't. you can rely on ontario for energy to power your growing economy and for the critical minerals crucial to new technologies. ontario is your third-largest trading partner and the number one export destination for 17 states.
