"the ingraham angle" is now. >> laura: good evening, everywhere. i'm laura ingraham "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight as always thank you very much for spending some time with us.

tonight, trump gets the last laugh against the democrats' pathetic lawfare campaign. >> it was done to damage my reputation so i would lose the elections and obviously that didn't work. >> joe biden is as delusional as ever. >> i would have beaten trump, could have beaten trump, and i think that kamala could have beaten trump. >> laura: that's funny for friday night. in moments legendary actor mel gibson joins me live after his home was destroyed in the california wildfires. and it's another day of wreckage and ruin in southern california as the fires continue to disseminate the areas around l.a. 35,000 acres. more than twice the size of manhattan now the palisades fire has destroyed more than 20,000 acres. it's only 8% contained. north of that is the kenneth fire, that spans over

1,000 acres and then there is the eaton fire that's out in pasadena and that's taking out more than 5,000 structures and caused two deaths. and that's covered more than 13,000 acres. >> it's a disaster. it's armageddon. i have never seen anything like this in my life. >> we are so heart broken for our neighborhoods. these are newlyweds, just bought this home six months ago. >> this is honestly probably the worst i have ever seen it. we just don't have enough personnel and what not to contain this one. >> it's not a war zone it's just a tragedy. >> laura: those poor people. and for those whose homes did not burn down, they are at risk of being looted. more than 20 people have been arrested so far tore doing the unthinkable during a time of such horrific tragedy things got son bad local curfew. >> tonight at 6:00 p.m. we are not screwing around with

this. we don't want anyone taking advantage of our residents that have already been victimize. >> laura: they don't put up that w. that nonsense in florida. this is the headline it "l.a. times." strong winds this week ventura county as major risk of fires and now what is it four or so days later the fires that were protected have killed 11 and destroyed more than 10,000 homes businesses and schools. we have seen the video. they are dazed. confused many are furious with former officials asking why given the wind warning and the dry conditions that newsom and karen bass did not preposition sufficient fire fighting resources in the most at risk areas. now, obviously the fire department budget cuts did not help and the dim witnessed dei hires are way out of their

league. but even they can see how much the city's liberal leadership has failed. >> the fire department needs to be properly funded and it's not? >> it's not at this point. >> did the city of los angeles fail you and your department and our city. it's my job to stand up as a chief as exactly justifiably what the fire department needs to operate to meet the demands of the community. get us what we need so firefighters can do their jobs. >> did they fail you? >> yes. >> just when you think you understood the depth of this incompetence, the emergency management office mistakenly started sending out hundreds of thousands immediate evacuation notices to residents, some of my friends were telling me about this at the time. residents by the way who were not themselves in any danger. this happened twice i can't

express enough how sorry i am for this experience. as they are being they are not being activated and initiated by a person. >> laura: don't look at me a machine did it. imagine the panic being awakened on the middle of the night buzzing on your phone buzzing going off warning to you evacuate. some of my friends in the pajamas grabbed whatever they could into their vehicles only to get another message saying oops, sorry. do any of these people reassure you. >> right now our number one priority is to establish establish how we can -- well in coordination with our federal and state department partners how we can stop the messages that are going out right now that are not being initiated by

human action i can't believe i heard that priority is establish communication. you still can't messaging top emergency management officials urged citizens to check in online or to dial 211 if they indeed got these false evacuation alerts so it was on to you kind of contact them. this didn't go over so well. >> i think that's absolutely ridiculous and i told kevin that to tell people to go on a website when they may not have access to an internet is absolutely absurd. i'm not going to tell people if you get the alerts go on and check. i'm not making any excuses, unacceptable. >> laura: a colossal understatement but, yeah, unacceptable. the incompetence almost across the board here is breathtaking

of course our incompetent president does what he always does. get are politically motivated. >> look, i know i think you are getting a bad wrap. this is complicated stuff. going to have a lot of demagogues out there trying to take advantage of it, but you're doing the right thing the victims need immediate help and victims need a lot of answers. why was the pacific palisades reservoir offline and empty when the firestorm initially exploded? apparently we learned today that it was closed for repairs. leaving the area with a deficit of 117 million gallons of available water. it's such a calamity that even gavin newsom is now calling for an investigation into the water issue that a few days ago we were told wasn't an issue. and despite there being zero

proof that man made carbon dioxide caused these fires democrats toss out climate change to deflect responsibility. >> climate change is real fund mentally not just here but around the world it's what is going on. we got to adjust to it. we got to adjust to it. we can. we have the capacity to respond to it if we in fact exercise our good judgment. >> laura: his judgment? coming from a guy who thinks he just attended nixon's funeral. listen to him. but, still, believe them when they tell you what their plans are. you heard him say we have got to adjust to this climate change. now, beware when the media also cites unnamed experts. >> this should be a wake upcall

construct our cities right now still under the apprehension climate the same as it was in the last century. it's not. they say for this century we need a radical rethink of how we structure how we build our homes. >> i fully expect that the same buffoons who got us into this mess will try to use this catastrophe to rezone certain residential neighborhoods. and then to burden rebuilding with more red tape, the red tape should be cut here and you should streamline the permitting process. but that's not going to be done. but, perhaps, this reimagining cities will work to achieve this epic dream of theirs for more high density housing putting single family homes out of reach for victims and everyone but really the super rich. all to protect us for your own good from the ravages of climate change. but, instead, californians and all americans need to protect

themselves from these incompetent woke officials. the radicalism and their ineptitude has devastated a great state. and how it's actually destroying lives. dei as elon musk said can actually mean die. these people cannot rebuild the trust they lost don't let them tell you ohio to rebuild your home. with us now mel gibson an old friend a malibu resident who tragically just lost his home. to the palisades fire. mel, i was thinking about you when i saw this fire break out. i think i talked to raymond, i said is mel okay? is his family okay? i instantly thought of you. he said he thought you were okay. i'm glad you got out. i'm glad your family is safe

toll us what it was like to be on rogan's podcast when you learned it was lost. >> i didn't learn it was lost. i knew the neighborhood was on fire and i was in the path. i was a little tense when i talked to joe. he is a guy that can put you at ease fairly well. i was doing okay. my family was safe and out of harm's way. >> were you able to get possessions of course really immaterial when you have your family. i have been to your house. >> it was a incredible home. beautiful home. were you able to get anything out of your house? >> not much. >> not much a few necessary things. my son said just go grab this, and this and this he grabbed three things and took off. and then, you know, those are okay when i went up there the

other day it looked like dresden. nothing left. >> laura: for those of us watching this from afar. try to convey to us the feeling of seeing your home, your neighbor's homes, and the community there at such loss. >> i mean, it's -- it's tragic. it makes you really sad. i was actually, you know, there are neighbors i have that i was actually looking at them. i felt worse for them than i did for myself. i look at a strake mixture of sadness and elation in a sense that i'm just -- i count my blessing, you know, no matter what. these are things. and they may or may not be replaceable but they are only things. we are still here. i just kind of look at it almost in a weird kind of way.

how many things gone ablaze. that's too bad. works of art. photographs, rare books. >> old books,ing irreplaceable stuff. so. it is what it is. i guess. it was only a month ago that the flames threatened us 200 meters away on the other side and of course the wind shifted and came in and whipped and got us from the other direction, so, an interesting. >> laura: yeah. you have heard the -- >> go on. >> laura: you have heard a lot of people say a lot of theengs about these fires, obviously the winds were horrific. they were predicted i know you know that last week this could

be tragic with these winds. any fire starts? >> sure. >> do you believe in what you know so far anything going to happen like this? cope about a situation come up. some people asleep on the job. mainly our leaders there. >> that's something they have to live with. and but that's something the community has to live with and it's really sad. i have many friends that are looking for a place to put a roof over their heads. kids and, you know, they are traumatized. someone should answer for it. but we'll see.

i think we know who the culprits are in fact, my son was just -- he is a member of the volunteer fire brigade. he interfaces between l.a. county fire and people and they assist them where they can during and after the blaze. the residents caught an arsonist up there and the guy was all tooled up with fire gear and equipment and stuff like that and ready to go. and he had been lighting fires. they corralled the guy and corralled him and gave him to the police. >> laura: yeah. apparently. >> looking for these conditions. >> laura: apparently, mel, that individual was never charged, it's a very confusing set of facts because he whereas reportedly trying to light things on fire but it's not the fires it all seems bizarre. they have not ruled out that arson could have started the

first fire. there is obviously still investigating this. at the same time, mel, there are numerous complaints you alluded to that the fire hydrants did not have water or water pressure and the l.a. fire chief herself reacted. >> my on this when the firefighter comes up to a hydrant, we expect there is going to be water. we don't control the water fly. our firefighters are there to protect lives and property and to make sure that we are properly trained and equipped. that's my position on this. if there is no water, i don't know how the water gets to the hydrants. >> laura: mel, reaction to that? >> >> i know they were messing with the water. letting reserves go for one reason or another. they have been doing that for a while. california has a lot of problems

sort of baffle the mind as far as why they do things and then in the events like this. you sort of look is it on purpose? which it's an insane thing to think. one begins to ponder whether or not there is a purpose in mind. what could it be? do they want the state empty? i don't know. >> laura: mel, there is already talk and we played a couple of soundbites of reimagining the way rebuilding occurs and obviously there is a great need for high density housing in california and across the country. already hearing. goodbye single family homes high density housing. yeah, yeah. pretty scary and take decades to do that, too.

like even if it, you know, if it's a good idea reminds me of the old cattle barrons clearing people off the land. i don't know. you know, i can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head. conspiracy theories and everything else. but, it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water. and it and that the wind conditions and that there were people ready and willing and able to start fires. and are they commissioned to do so or are they just acting on their own volition, i don't know. they seem pretty well equipped. >> a lot of questions. a lot of questions, mel. mel, a message tonight. >> i will sift through -- i will sift through the remains of my place to see if i can find any clues for you. >> laura: mel, any message from you to governor newsom or karen

bass tonight? >> spend less on hair gel. that's it. you know. what can i say to them? not big either. there you go. >> laura: mel, i know multiple shows and films have been put on hold. everyone's livelihood has been put on hold that has been involved in these fires. affected by the fires. i know you have a film flight risk that's coming out in just two weeks. first film you have directed since 2016. we lo-the ingraham family loved hacksaw ridge. what can we expect with the industry going through changes already with these fires affecting production and i can't wait for this film? >> sure, there is going to be, i think, people have to adapts. very few things are made in california anyway. over all these years the playing

field never got leveled as far as tax exemptions and all of the advantages you could get for making film here. production goes on in the various places that it does. i think for the industry, geesh, times of crisis has always been good for the entertainment industry. not that i'm saying any crisis is good. no. i think people want, you know, they want to be gained during eg those times. which i was trying to do with flight risk anyway. a pure entertainment piece. >> we need pure entertainment. mel, do you know what else we need? do you know what else we need? i can't wait to talk to you about it like is the resurrection. and i know you have been working on that for quite a long time. but, how wonderful. >> years, yeah. >> laura: wonderful for us to be to have the refresh your

recollection in film and what can you tell us, briefly? >> yeah. briefly? wow. it's oh, it's an ambitious thing. and it's after working on it for six or seven years with randal wallace and my brother, all of us kind of contributing to the writing, it's going to be something that i hardly expected. i think i told joe the other day what's it like? it's kind of like an acid trip. but you are dealing with big stuff and big questions. it will certainly be theologically and visually. >> no, mel, have you never done that you have never done that in your career. mel, i'm so glad that you are

okay. you have helped me in times of crisis when i was going through cancer, i will never forget you called me and really great words of wisdom about treatment 20 years ago, actually. so i thought about you, 20 years ago, that's how long i have known you, that's a long time. >> we have not aged at all. >> you are doing that up here. >> >> 20, oh my god. i'm a little gray. >> laura: no, not you. mel, i'm so glad you are okay. thank you for reminding us that our spiritual life sustains us and these very, very challenging, difficult tragic times but you reminded a us of that on rogan. >> all you got. >> how many rosaries are you praying this week, mel? >> ha ha ha, what?

i go through spiritual -- when i meditate and pray most. i think every morning i wake up and i have to, otherwise, the day just gets started on the wrong foot. and i think that's what sustains us, you know, that's what lets us look at stuff in perspective. i mean you can either be, you know, if you are in the circus big talk either be on the trapeze and big overview or be living in the pile of elephant shit you know. it's a matter of perspective. >> laura: i will go with the spiritual. i'm so glad you are okay and hope to see you soon. god bless you. >> thanks, laura and you too. hang in. >> laura: i will. take care of yourself. all right, just ahead. it was all just for show? well the democrats' lawfare gets

days before he returns to office. donald trump the first president to be sentenced on felony conviction: the first convicted felon turned president when he is inaugurated in just 10 days. he still is going to take the oath of office for the first time in u.s. history as a convicted felon. >> laura: judge juan merchan remained a hero of the far left today, sentencing president trump to an unconditional discharge in his new york trial, which means trump is going to face no jail time, fines or probation. stupid. now, a rank partisan whose jury instructions gave no specific guidance on the predicate crime alleged, merchan must know he is going to be overturned here. but he was a man on a despicable selfish mission. >> it has been tremendous set back for new york and the new york court system. this has been a weaponization of government. they call it lawfare. never happened to any extent like this, but never happened in

our country before it was done to damage my reputation so i would lose the election and obviously that didn't work. >> laura: joining me now sol wisenberg former deputy independent counsel and mike davis a former law clerk for justice gorsuch and attorney. mike, let's start with you, merchan's final remarks at today's sentencing, let's listen. >> sir, i wish you godspeed as you assume your second term in office. thank you. >> mike, after this sham trial, we are supposed to believe he is being all respectful or is this insulting dig? >> this democrat manhattan judge juan merchan is partisan. he is corrupt. he is dangerous. he took our country to the brink. the american people heard all of these allegations and all of this so-called evidence with all this lawfare run by these biden democrats all over the country and the american people

delivered our verdict on november 5th. >> laura: sol, you say this case should be reversed on appeal. specifically give us the thumbnail on that. >> well, let me begin by saying i consider this the most nakedly political misuse and abuse of the criminal justice system in american history. and all of our thoughts about that, all commentary should go through that lens. this case as we all know never would have been brought in new york on these facts against any other -- any other person and in light of that, these pias comments today by the prosecutor and the judge about the rule of law are a joke. in terms of possible grounds for overturning the conviction. where do you start? i think one of the areas you start is that very important in terms of constitutional law is

the question of presidential immunity as we talked about before on this show, bragg made the decision. he didn't have to call former advisers to president trump and get their testimony. this was mentioned in the closing argument. that's a problem under the supreme court's immunity decision. and the trump lawyers tried to litigate that issue. the supreme court hadn't ruled yet but they wanted to litigate that issue before it went to the jury and the judge wouldn't let them do it. so i think that's a powerful potential ground but there are many others. >> mike, do you agree that if there's -- just a sliver of impartiality left in our justice system, this will be overturned on appeal? >> there's no question this case is going to get overturned on appeal for many different reasons. sol was talking about presidential immunity as one of

the key ones but also the fact they didn't even -- this judge did not tell the jury that they had to unanimously agree on what the underlying crime was that somehow turned this bookkeeping dismeerp into 34 felonies against the president. merchan didn't sentence the president after 34 felonies. that tells you all you need to know lawfare and election interference. >> laura: sol, on the supreme court decision yesterday, where you had the liberal justices and the chief and amy coney barrett saying we're not going to get involved now, and then you had, you know, the four conservatives. kavanaugh, alito, thomas and gorsuch, say no, no, essentially a matter of national importance, they thought it was important to step in even in interlog tore basis. were you surprised by that vote?

>> i wasn't surprised by the result. i was a little surprised that it was close. keep in mind, all they wanted to do, the four dissenters was to hear the case. they thought that the motion should be heard. not necessarily what they would decide. but, one of the things chief justice roberts who wrote the opinion made it clear was that this would -- one of the reasons they weren't intervening is because they took judge merchan at his word, always a dangerous thing that there would be, you know, he would be unconditionally discharged, president trump, would not -- and would not go to jail. they pointed out that he still has the appellate process. >> laura: mike, real quick. >> sorry, go ahead. >> laura: let's get mike on that real fast. i think it's a travesty. this whole thing should have been thrown out. it was a sham and should have ended with the supreme court. if they are worried about their credibility. they should have ended it.

>> how do you have presidential immunity from criminal prosecution but not from criminal sentencing. the chief justice in judge amy coney barrett failed to do their job. >> laura: sol and mike, both of you, thank you so much. mark zuckerberg reveals the truth about the covid censorship the angle was telling you about all along, 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. our long-standing economic partnership

said that it was. i can't read a man's inner thoughts, his inner mind. obviously we know that conservatives have had immense and that's a mild term for it, complaints about meta properties and platforms as well as, of course, the $400 million gift if you want to call it that zuckerberg made for ballot harvesting in the 2020 election. so, again, i can't see inside of mark zuckerberg's inner thoughts. i can tell you what he thought me is that the conversion is sincere and committed to restoring free speech and committed to ending dei policies. >> laura: steven, he has some work to do because on political -- especially conservative pages. the reach is suppressed and demonthization real thing. they got to change that, correct? >> as conservatives, we

celebrate when we get public support behind the proposition and other people flip their policies. right? that's how you win culture wars. so when the ceo of a large corporation comes out and says no, i'm going to push for free speech. no, i'm going to end racist policies at my corporation. that's something that we should encourage but also say we need to verify and show if it is actually happening. that we are not demonetizing and we are not sincing. i want to make an important point. this is all part of the trump effect. president trump made clear i was going to use to protect will civil rights and leverage resources to stop discrimination. that's a major part of why we are seeing this today, laura. >> laura: fantastic. stephen, thank you very much for joining us. all right, biden responds to the disaster in l.a. with another disaster.
