"the ingraham angle" starts after a pretty bump shot. ♪ >> laura: good evening, everyone. i'm laura ingraham this is "the ingraham angle" from washington. tonight as always thank you for joining us. well, hamas finally got the

message. >> if they are not back by the time i get into office, all hell will break out in the middle east. >> can you elaborate? >> it will not be good for hamas and it will not be good, frankly for anyone. all hell will break out. i don't have to say anything more but that's what it is. >> laura: for more than a quarter of joe biden's presidency, 466 long days, hamas held 98 hostages, including at least 7 american citizen hostages that are believed to still be held in gaza. and finally today, a deal was announced and some of the hostages will be finally coming home. now, the 42-day deal is being rolled out in three phases. the first hamas will free 33 hostages, including women and children and israel will release hundreds of palestinian prisoners. the details of the second and third phases are still being worked out. of course, if kamala had won, this deal would not have happened. hamas would have dug in and netanyahu, too.

there would have been zero sense of urgency. but this did not stop biden from claiming full credit. >> how much credit do you give to the trump team for this deal. trump taking credit first. >> well, you know, exact framework of the deal i proposed back in may. exact. and got the world to endorse it. >> credit for this, mr. president, you or trump? >> is that a joke? >> no. >> oh, thank you. >> laura: is he not -- blinkenen doesn't blinken looks, odd. the truth is this administration could not move the ball down the field. but, when trump won, and made it clear that he wanted to get this resolved or else, he took the steps to do that. he sent steve witkoff, his designated negotiator side by

side. this immediately brought credibility and momentum to what was clearly a stalled process. two abe officials told the "times of israel" that trump's team did more in one meeting to sway israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu than joe biden did all year. not that biden's team didn't do any work. of course they did. but hamas wasn't scared of president biden. and probably wasn't even sure if he was being kept in the loop. but the opposite is the case with trump. he was born to make deals. and he uses leverage when necessary and really smartly to get things done. even cnn had to concede that the trump factor was huge. >> the x-factor here is that donald trump is about to be president. and the very public pressure that he was putting on hamas and on israel to get this done. >> they are looking at what is

going to happen the next four years. i think all of them knew that if there is no deal by january 20th, they would start on the wrong foot with donald trump. >> laura: i will say. that's an understatement. it's because trump hates seeing america get humiliated. he hates seeing america get ripped off. that's why he insisted on major new trade deals in his first term. but biden and his team zero trade deals in four years. and this is one deal that we know joe couldn't have made alone. he barely knew who he was negotiating with. >> 15 months of conflict began with hezbollah's brutal massacre on october the 7th. >> laura: well, hezbollah, hamas, easy to mix them up. finally with trump in charge we have a return to credibility and competence. now could blinken and sullivan with an absentee president ever have negotiated the abraham accord? could they ever have moved the u.s. embassy in israel to

jerusalem? but always looking out for our country, trump was aggressive and will be aggressive about using america's economic power to protect our interest. that's why mexico helped with the migrants. it's why chinese goods were slapped with big tariffs. and just a few days, america will be on the move again. but already, trump is getting results. joining me now jason miller, senior adviser to president trump, jason, now, the state department made a comment about the president-elect's role in the negotiations, watch. >> when it comes to the involvement of president-elect trump's team, it'sline absolutely critical in getting this deal over the line. i don't know if it's unprecedented to have envoys to from an outgoing and incoming administration sitting at the same table negotiating a cease-fire agreement of this kind, but, if it's not unprecedented i think it's unusual. i think it's important that they were at the table. >> laura: jason, i mean, obviously, without president

trump this would have never gotten done. >> absolutely. i have to give credit to matt miller biden's state department's spokesman for being honest on this front. >> laura: biden laughed at it. >> matt miller was honest with the public and very smart for him to do on his way out the door. this is only happening, like you said, because of president trump. he won with this massive mandate and when you say that if you don't have this done by the time sworn into office there is going to be hell to pay, adversaries and allies alike know that he is being serious. laura, not only is president trump brought peace to the middle east he has do now done it twice. people said he couldn't do it the first time. he has now done it twice. he has saved lives and prevented future deaths from happening. this is nothing short of remarkable to be able to do this before he is even sworn in. i think this is nobel prize worthy. this is very historic. >> laura: witkoff, people don't know much about him and people raising their eyebrows about why he was named by president trump to be the envoy.

why was he so good in this situation? >> well, number one, people know that when steve witkoff is speaking is he speaking on behalf of president trump. that they are very close. that's a key fact. and you referenced this a little bit earlier when folks from the biden administration are speaking with, again, whether it's adversaries or allies or whomever, they don't know if joe biden is even awake or if he know what is is going on or who his people are people know when steve witkoff is speaking is he speak telling direction of president trump. the other thing, too, steve witkoff also someone though comes from nontraditional background. >> laura: i was going to say what's his experience in international negotiations. >> goes back to the genusness of president trump's first term where he was the person, the nonpolitician who defied the so-called experts and got north korea, for example, to stop firing off nuclear missiles, to bring peace to the middle east. because, the fundamental structure the so-called experts in d.c. that have been trying in decades has failed. >> laura: gotten it wrong time and again, jason. >> you have to go and speak

deliberatively and say exactly what you are going to do. when he says there will be hell to pay, they know that president trump will not mess around. >> laura: now, there is questions still remain about the terms of the deal and the concern that the thousand palestinian prisoners that are going to be released, there is some really bad dudes in that group. are you concerned about that as how it will actually be carried out and the effect of it? >> well, great question. this is obviously the details are going to be very important. how this moves forward. but the fact that we're at the cease-fire. the fact that we have the commitment for hostages to be released. none of that was going to happen unless president trump threw down the gauntlet here and said that this needs to start moving or else. because, biden, they have been talking about this for months. i mean, the october 7th terrorist attacks were a long time ago. and by the way, let's not forget here the only reason that those terrorist attacks on october 7th even happened is number one, the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan where biden sent up the white flag and told the entire world how weak america

was under his leadership. secondly he let iran and its economy off the map. so then they could fund hamas which then led to the terrorist attacks. this is joe biden created this allow thud problem to fester. but then president trump. >> he needed this off the table to start his term it. reminds me of reagan and the iranian hostages. jason, speaking of credibility and sticking to your word and people know when trump says something he means it. news broke today that trump is -- president trump is considering changing his position on tiktok and now will try to, perhaps, save the platform which is owned by bytedance which is of course a chinese company. how is it america first, to allow a massive propaganda operation owned by the chinese to operate freely in the united states? how is that america first? >> well, a couple of things and, again, i have not spoken with the president or his incoming white house counsel. >> no one has explained. this i don't have any inside information on this particular

issue. but, a big part of the reason why president trump won, in the campaign with younger voters, is he said that he would find a way to save the platform. and, importantly, with this, if this is something going to be sold to americans, something that could be removed from any outside interference. then it's something that should be looked at. a lot of people talked about coming forward. might need a little bit more time to do it. again i don't want to get ahead of the president on this. he doesn't get sworn in until monday. we are also waiting for the supreme court to weigh in for what they are ultimately going to do here. so the deadline is coming up. >> laura: you don't think he would allow china to continue to own a major social media company that obviously has major security concerns even his own cia director came on this show and warned our audience if you have that app. downloaded on your phone, not only should you delete it, you should throw away your phone. secretary of state, mike pompeo. so it's a major security concern for our country. >> when president trump was in office. he said that the data had to be kept here in the united states. which it started working

forward. larry ellison and also it's very clear that they are going to have to do something with the company. congress has spoken very loudly on that. and what the president has said though is they should be aable to find a way to go and move forward, again, i don't want to put ideas or it's not my place. >> laura: executive order. it's a law. you can't have a executive order to override a u.s. law. >> there might need to be time to get a frequent approach in place to have that dem domiciled here in the united states. again, that's up to them. i haven't spoken with the president about it. but the one thing i will say though, is that young people very much love this platform. and if there is a way to save it, it's under u.s. control or a away from foreign ownership, then i think it should be looked at. >> laura: away from the ccp different deal all together. jason miller, it's a big day. congrats litigations and thank you very much for coming on the show tonight. we appreciate it. we will see you a lot in the coming years. president trump's a.g. nominee pam bondi wiped the floor with the democrats at her

>> laura: democrats love to claim that republicans are stuck in the past. but today at pam bondi's confirmation hearing, that old fossil dick durbin dragged us back to 2020 and she handled him

masterfully. >> do you have any doubts that joe biden had the majority of votes, electoral votes necessary to be elected president in 2020. >> you know, senator, all i can tell you as a future is from my firsthand experience and i accept the results. i accept, of course, that joe biden is president of the united states but what can i tell you is what i saw firsthand when i went to pennsylvania as an advocate for the campaign. i was an advocate for the campaign and i was on the ground in pennsylvania and i saw many things there but i do accept the results? of course i do. do i agree with what happened -- i saw so much -- no one from either side of the aisle should want there to be any issues with election integrity in our country. we should all want our elections to be free and fair and the rules and the law to be

followed. >> laura: i used to have glasses like that. here here, pam. durbin didn't lay a glove on her and neither did the other anti-trump grumps who seem to be speaking to the cheap seats at msnbc. >> i'm asking you, sitting here today, whether you are aware of a factual predicate to investigate liz cheney. >> senator. >> based on what you know. >> to investigate liz cheney. we are also worried about liz cheney do you know what we should be worried about. >> ms. bondy, please answer my. >> the state of california right now is through the roof. your robberies are 87% higher than the national average. >> my question is this. >> that's what i would fulks on if i'm confirmed as attorney general. >> laura: does adam schiff really think that americans lie awake at night worrying, freght about the fate of liz cheney? talk about out of touch. this was a six hour exercise in liberal futility it was extended

campaign commercial for the g.o.p. >> under what circumstances will you prosecute journalists for what they write? >> is president-elect trump eligible to run for another term as president in 2028. >> can you say no to the president of the united states when he asks you to do something unethical or illegal. >> laura: like the municipalities. they still can't quit their trump's a threat to democracy it's unbelievable it. blew up on their faces on election day. i guess they have got nothing else. senator after senator, sounded like they just ripped the pages out of kamala's old debate prep. >> he has also said illegal immigration is poisoning the blood of our nation. he said that in december 2023. do you agree with that statement? >> senator, i am not familiar with that statement. but what i can tell you is i went to the border a few months ago. i went to yuma, arizona and what

i saw at that border was horrific, senator. it was horrific. >> ms. bondi. >> crisis center. >> that was not my question. >> if i can finish. i went to a rape crisis center. i'm not familiar with the statement i went to a rape crisis center. i met with border patrol agents. i'm sure you have been to the border as the well. >> i want to get to my next question. >> laura: i want to make sure my staff has written my questions clearly because i can't think without my papers. of course, once again bondi exposed the democrats' real priority and it's not the safety of the american people. now, perhaps, the most hilarious of many hilarious parts of the spectacle was when democrats had the nerve to try to secure bondi skewer bondi on the weapons of the justice system. >> it would not be appropriate to are a prosecutor to start with a name and look for a crime. it's the prosecutor's job to

start with a crime and look for a name. correct? >> senator, i think that is the whole problem with the weaponization that we have seen the last four years and what's been happening to donald trump. they targeted donald trump. they went after him. i will not target people simply because of their political affiliation. justice will be administered even-handily throughout this country. >> laura: i love it when the senators do this to convey that they are bored with the whole proceeding. news flash, we are bored with you. okay? finally, under the leadership of a.g. bondi, i think the scales of justice will be at balance again. no more using the fbi as a retribution squad. no more messing with the fisa courts. no more activist u.s. attorneys. >> i will fight everyday to restore confidence and integrity to the department of justice and each of its components.

the partisanship, the weaponization will be gone. america will have one tier of justice for all. >> laura: as it always should have been and will be again. she is a superstar. joining me now is utah senator mike lee of the judiciary committee. he questioned pam bondi today. senator, this was quite something to watch. most americans just can't take it. but, are the democrats this out of gas? i'm actually surprised they went with kamala's failed arguments from the campaign. did they mention charlottesville? i was waiting for that. >> not once. nor can we see a hint of irony a hint of self-awareness from them as they were peppering her with questions about the weaponization of the department of justice. i cannot fathom a universe in which they could say that without feeling some guilt and some shame along with that meanwhile you have got adam schiff going after her. is he literally like looks like

a post apocalyptic hellscape because it is and is he worried about liz cheney. >> laura: adam schiff, your friend, had a lot of trouble. he struggled to try to get some tracked in his line of questioning. watch. >> so will it be your advice to the president, mr. president, i know you want to issue hundreds of par pardons on day one. will it be your advice to mr. president i need to go over them on case by case basis. >> i will ask to every. >> of course you will. >> can i answer the question? i would have plenty of staff. you said of course you won't. >> you will be able to review hundreds of cases on the first day. >> this body nor you. >> let me ask another question. you don't want to answer that one. >> you were concerned for by congress for comments just like this. >> if it was a ufc fight it would have been called the second pam bondi responded to his first. again, the democrats, i think, are perplexed by the situation they find themselves in.

because this is the radical playbook that they attach themselves to, senator. but it's not connecting. and usually your material doesn't connect at some point you change material. but not so far. >> they have been using this material so long. and it's worked so long in part because the legacy media has helped them perpetuate that cycle. all of a sudden there is weeping, gnashing of teeth upon realization those tricks don't work anymore but they are still stuck in the same pattern and they can't seem to get out of it and i actually like to see it. >> laura: how many staff prepare these senators for these hearings? like, give me a number. because i know you do your own prep because that's what you did at the supreme court and that's what have you always done. but how many? >> look, it varies from senator to senator but may be two or three staffers involved in preparing some of them for a hearing like this one where they. >> laura: like the reading room. they are always just reading. there is no organic moments. i want to ask you about this fisa court issue because senator cornyn came out today and made a

point in his questioning to press pam bondi on the efficacy of the fisa court perhaps with some reforms and worried that it's not going to be, you know, funded again. that the court will be, you know, lose its stature. you came out and said, hmmm, not so fast. >> that's right. i wanted to make sure that the rest of the country heard what i know about pam bondi, which is she understands the fourth amendment. she understands that the u.s. government can't go after your personal effects, your papers, your private communications without a warrant. >> laura: warrantless searches. >> warrantless searches. back door warrantless searches under fisa 702 have become a problem. told by fbi directors and attorneys general don't worried about it. these aren't the droids you are looking for. procedures to handle. this they are lying. pam bondi went on record today saying we shouldn't do that and i'm thrilled that she did. >> laura: that was a good

moment. >> that's not correct because we have had disclosure after disclosure where these guys have been abusing it left and right. >> laura: look what they can frump. >> trump is not going to put up with it and neither is pam. >> laura: senator, with your background they need you on this committee. thank you for being on it. thank you so much. the biden administration in the final days is getting sad and a little bit more confusing. and the first lady take as swing at pelosi, "seen and unseen" with raymond arroyo is next. ♪ ading partner and number one export destination for 17 states. our economic partnership keeps millions of americans working. we're here, right by your side.

>> raymond: unclear, laura. we will circle back with you on that. biden has one function at this late date, sign whatever the staff puts in front of him. and even that has become a challenge. >> the second i'm signing the establishment of the highlands national monument. here we go. do i fill this in? i know -- i have been try -- the day of -- in this hand you will fill in the dates here, guys? [laughter] all right. >> raymond: is it any wonder he just removed -- is it any wonder that he just removed cuba from the state sponsors of terrorism. my question is did he even know he removed cuba from state sponsor of terrorism list. he probably thought oh i thought that was a cuba good fella that junior guy. like obama, is he lifting economic sanctions on the communist island nation as well. how long do you think that will

last, laura? >> laura: yeah, exactly. trump is just going to overturn it. you always get the sense this is all transactional. someone is going to make money for the next three days off of that i don't know quite what is going to happen. shuffling. writing is difficult. >> raymond: if you want to know why i think cuba will be redeclared a state sponsor of terrorism real soon just look at. this other nations continue to act the way countries always have.

[laughter] >> raymond: love that moment. but, rubio, knows the score. is he not going to let this go this go on. the idea that biden, just writing off the cuban that vote in miami saying it doesn't matter anymore. this is absurd. biden isn't the only one, laura, wrapping things up in the most

embarrassing way possible. kamala harris appeared before al sharpton's group to spin her loss which brings us to kamala's word of the day. win. >> our definition of the win, is the definition that takes us over a period of time. we're a part of how we measure the wind is are we making progress. how we measure the win is based on the knowledge that it is an enduring fight. whatever the outcome of any particular moment we can never be defeated. >> laura: shocking that she lost. just shocking. i love how she nods. she gestures and then she nods. it's a very interesting approach. >> raymond: you will never be defeated you just lost. unless you own a casino you shouldn't be using the word win after you lose a major election. this is a disaster.

but you are right. this is why she lost the election. she never could level with the audience or the voters. >> laura: inauthentic, tedious and not very bright. >> raymond: also taking her laos bow is first lady jill biden. she has not forgiven nancy pelosi, laura for shoving biden out of the presidential race. she tells "the washington post," quote: i have been thinking a lot about relationships. we were friends for 50 years. it was disappointing. you could almost feel, you know, tstiletto coming out. jill has always been touchy about this topic. >> the house democrats were calling for your husband to drop out of the race? >> why are you [inaudible] don't scream at me. >> raymond: she is aggressive when it comes to this topic. do you know why? she kept biden in the race, laura, we should call dana white and see if he can set up a match between jill biden and pelosi. the lip vs. the hip.

i would pay for that all day long. lawyer the doctor, first of all you have to call her dr. joe biden. >> doctor. >> laura: the doctor is in a state of fury, and that's going to continue for some time. so, nancy, watch your hip and your back. >> raymond: that's the angle. >> laura: and that's the angle. wamed raymond, by the way mike lee just said you are incredibly funny. he said raymond is so funny. i have never met him. >> he does a fine job. >> laura: raymond, thank you. the trump effect already in full swing. but what does that mean? charlie kirk will explain and that's next. ♪

president trump won historic election. now we are seeing a lot of these corporate titans whether it's authentic or inauthentic time will tell have a collective tell you can you recall sigh of relief. many of these companies deep down did not want to have to comply to these angry h.r. departments and they are finally thrilled to see a rebalancing, a restoration of the quill british columbia of customs of meritocracy american greatness issues that shouldn't be controversial such as having a border and free speech. so we will see whether or not this is actually an authentic move but i'm thrilled to see it. >> laura: i think some of them are just scared. i think some of them just don't want, you know, antitrust investigations or they are worried. a lot of them are just -- they are not very courageous but they are smart but maybe not that courageous so they are scared. i think, charlie, we should celebrate, you know, some progress and just keep an open mind and trust but verify, perhaps. but, fox news just released new polling that shows, charlie,

trump's favorability rating at all-time high. and then when asked how should democrats approach trump administration's, 78% of registered voters said they would like to see democrats work with trump. charlie? >> this is somewhat shocking but the election results were in this -- look, the american people are fatigued when it comes to politics. and there is just kind of this agreement that president trump won. they threw everything humanly possible at him from lawfare to even him having to dodge a bullet from everything imaginable where president trump is the victor. he is the winner. and the american people want restoration of how life used to be. we won't have to be talking politics all the time that it would divide families and have friends no longer talking to one another. also it's the agenda that president trump ran on and his focus on fulfilling that mandate and restoring a voice to the american workers to the muscular

class to the forgotten men and women of this country. some democrats like john fetterman. we don't know if fetterman is a true believer. we know he wants to remain a u.s. senator from pennsylvania. in order to remain a u.s. senator in pennsylvania, you got to work with donald trump. >> laura: it's just pragmatic. but trump has always been very pragmatic in dealing with people from all background. and so the democrats, in my view, never really understood trump. they would have been smarter had they found real ways to work with him. but, instead, they treated him as public enemy number one right off the bat, with that whole mike flynn nonsense they did. so, and they lost a big opportunity for themselves and for the country. and i think that was a real shame. and i don't see any sign today at the confirmation hearing, charlie, of pam bondi or frankly even marco rubio that they have learned a thing. not one thing. >> charlie: no they haven't, also. look at what they tried to do to pete hegseth. it was completely outrageous and

uncalled for. however, we are starting to see the country tilt center right in response to the nonsense that we lived through these last four years. and i think it's a very important point for everyone to understand. that if president trump delivers on these promises he can have a permanent new governing coalition of hispanics, of black americans, of young people, of people in the working class that no longer want to be part of the screechy up middle class liberalism that we have seen infect all of our major institutions. the new governing coalition, president trump has an opportunity that we have not seen since ronald reagan or fdr to rebuild the body politic. to reconfigure how people view american political parties and to govern for a generation. he has been given that mandate and we do not see the type of resistance that you would have thought. we thought that we would be seeing widespread protests and corporations with these -- remember these emails they used to send? we are so sorry. now they are getting rid of dei departments. they are saying no more. lawyer the woman's march code pink and liz cheney together.

but, frankly, he is america's first one-term president since jimmy carter. he got forced out of the race by his own party because they knew he was going to lose so badly. you look at his record when it came to inflation, southern border, foreign policy failures, wars, there is very little can he point to of any success. he tried to be a progressive president. he failed at that. he passed too many liberal policies to begin with. and it failed the country. that's what he will be remembered for. >> laura: are you surprised, mary katharine, that our friends over at the other networks are doing their best to try to rehabilitate joe biden on his way out the door. i'm watching this because it's fun comedic relief. i'm thinking what four years did they just watch and lost he had to drop out after a 90 minute debate. >> there's the thing where is the last straw on the performance of this guy. you don't have to be kind at this point, even if you started out as a fan of his. he has failed his party. he has failed the american

people. and tonight he is going to take credit for things he hasn't done. is he going to lie about things that he has done he will probably malign large parts of the shade and individual people. he will tell you hunter is great. he might try to elm if a p&a theisman and fail he does that a lot. actually the only newsworthy thing he could do which i wish he would do so unhinged that he tells us who has actually been in charge for the last four years. i would like to hear the t on that. >> remember, charlie, after trump won in november the "new york times" put out this piece saying that trump's win would likely prolong gaza talks uncertainty. so we have the big win today. i mean, again, the details we will see how it all plays out it. looks pretty positive for this gaza temporary cease-fire. the media have gotten it wrong about trump and now in the aftermath of biden, they are still getting it wrong. i keep saying this. no one has the ability to learn from actually what's happened: donald trump is involved because

they are completely incapable of seeing him with any sort of clear eyes. i do think that we will probably hear a lot about this hostage deal tonight and joe biden is going to try to take credit for it. but, just on the fails of it, it's so absurd because the idea that somehow the placating from the biden administration is what brought about this hostage deal, it's absurd at its extreme, the real reason that this hostage deal came about is because israel was so so powerfully degrade hamas and pursue hamas to the corners of hell that they had no choice but to do this and the back of their mind they knew that donald trump was coming into office and it was only going to get that much worse. and so forth biden administration today to try to claim that oh this deal came about because we were so hard on hamas, no you weren't.

did you everything you could to pull the reins back on israel when israel was pursuing hamas. >> i think jake sullivan probably is watching, you know, the last few weeks and thinking to himself gosh, if i had worked for trump, i would have been able to get this done with the hostages because trump actually has credibility ari, right? because jake sullivan is not a dumb person. is he actually pretty confident. but you are not going to get anything done with biden because nobody thinks biden has actually dialed in to what is going on in the middle east, correct? >> the interesting thing, too. we can say that he doesn't have anything to do with this and it's true. nobody needs to be convinced of that because they don't believe him and they don't care about the speech. he has become a nonentity on this stage. >> ari i want to play a little snippet -- this is a preview of what biden is about to say. it's his little attempt to defend his record i says i put together one of the most competent foreign policy teams i

would argue in american history. i believe the economy i'm leaving is the best in the world. and he said about the border, when i became president, the border became way down. that's what he said. this is the ari delusional review self-reflection of biden. >> what part of foreign policy went right under joe biden? nothing. absolutely nothing when you look at the afghanistan withdrawal. when you look at the stalemate and ukraine and stalemate in gaza until israel broke through on hezbollah. everything joe biden did was to extend wars, not end wars, he denied everything that everybody want. he told israel not to go into rafah. joe biden doesn't have a foreign policy anything to point to, including the southern border and what he did with mexico when during the debate he said come, come to america. it won't even be a felony anymore. there is nothing he got right when it came to foreign policy. why do you think there were no abraham accords under his watch?

no one trusted him. >> laura: no trade deals. no nothing. and very quickly, we learned tonight that pretty boy justin trudeau speaking of people on the way out the door is now saying that canada may hit back on trump by cutting u.s. energy supplies if trump puts tariffs on chinese goods. charlie, those are big words. do you think that's actually going to happen? that wouldn't end well for canada. >> exactly. good luck with that governor trudeau. but, of course, this only reveals reminds us of the brilliance of donald trump's energy policy which is to become not just energy independent but to completely energy dominant so we don't have to listen to partnership squeak like canada. >> laura: unfortunately i have to go. jesse watters takes it from here. ♪
