"the ingraham angle" starts now! >> laura: good evening, everyone, i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight.

as always, thank you very much for joining us. at this hour, as the temperatures keep dropping, washington is filling up with maga heads. well, there is the crypto ball tonight. there's fireworks tomorrow at trump national. the vice president's dinner then there is various fun receptions, the black tie and boots ball. that's texas. and, of course, inauguration day itself. and all the festivities that follow. but, with the bitterly cold weather and snow and rain in the forecast, organizers are smart to move the actual ceremony indoors. i'llable there and i will give you all the behind the scenes details monday night. but you feel it change is in the air. in just a few days we will have a real president again. yeah. one that we know is actually making decisions and one who wants to bring the nation together. >> have you thought about your message for your second inaugural address? >> i have. >> preview. >> we're going to have a message major you happy. it's going to be a message of unity.

again, i think success brings unity. >> starting monday afternoon, executive orders will start flying on everything from energy to deportation to undo some of the worst of joe biden's record and speaking of biden, is he ending his presidency with a usual rhetorical flourish. >> i announce the next phase, the next 15 drugs subject to negotiation. drugs that will treat cancer, heart disease, diabetes and so much more, including owe search i can't, excuse mio ozempic. >> did he also pretend to fix upper plate. new taglines even if the old ones failed. >> i really am concerned about how fragile democracy is there is inflection point in history here. we are unrelated to any

particular leader, things are going to change drastically. >> laura: you bet they are. we're going to call a lid now at 6:30 in the morning. and it's going to change not a moment too soon. does he think that, what, after winning trump should keep all of his policies in place? i win and i will leave joe's policies just where they are. calling dr. jill. it's time for joe's peppy pills. then there is nothing like a president who trashes millions of americans on his way out the door. >> red states really screwed up. in terms of the way they handled our economy and the way they handle manufacturing and the way they handle access to supply chains. >> biden has his staff not informed him that red state economies are what drove the post cody recovery? 16 of the top states to be exact, led the country in the job growth. and out of the top 15 states with the lowest unemployment. 11 have g.o.p. governor,

awesome, while seven of the 10 states highest unemployment states are run by democrats. all right. here's the good news and it's really good. americans have already tuned joe out first time in years plureld think family finances are actually going it improve in the coming year. highest proportion of americans optimistic about finances since this question was first asked back in 2009 that's why trump is more popular than he has been. only just beginning. hard work begin in earnest on tuesday. trump has the momentum and he should do wj his power to keep it. america first means all americans have a chance at winning again. joining me now alex marlow, breitbart editor and chief byron york washington examiner chief political correspondent and fox news contributor. byron, it's clear that trump is

going to waste no time and start issuing executive orders. i think within the hour of his swearing in is what i understand. but, biden thinks it's now a threat to democracy that we apparently have a new president? >> you know, we have been seeing a lot of anger from joe biden and at the risk of being a psychiatrist hereby. look i think he is still extremely angry at the way his presidency is ending especially being forced out of the democratic race. we have gotten some new reporting. >> laura: we will get to that soon, byron. don't spoil it for us because we are going to get to that new reporting. buff the idea that you are going back to this failed failed ghearmt is he pushing didn't work in the election. threat to democracy, autocrat, dictator, subtext clearly of what he was saying there. are you shocked that they apparently having v. nothing new. >> absolutely not shocked at all. i was a little surprised early

in 2024 when his -- when he was still a candidate and his top advisers were saying you know, this whole election is going to be about january 6th. and you looked at inflation and the border and all of these things and you said really? is it really going about januar? joe biden apparently thought so. and did you see when there was this quick turnover from joe biden to kamala harris. the harris campaign just abandoned that entire biden theme. now with biden on the way out making several farewell statements you are seeing it again. he still believes that. >> laura: alex, it's really bizarre. the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. then we have a lot of insane people walking around d.c. but, biden's white house team is still focused with a laser beam on what matters most to them. watch this. >> i always start crying when i talk about this. president biden promised that he

would have a cabinet that looks like america. and he did. more women, more women of color. more people on the cabinet with perspectives that have never been around a decision-making table before. >> with diversity comes different views, different perspectives, and better decision-making. >> as corporate america is slowly but surely ditching the dei and even some universities, again, out of touch much? >> a completely i was really struck this week watching these hearings in particular with scott bessent ohio thought was just by his brain power alone was the perfect pick for treasury, but to see him he looks so sharp, he has his husband behind him with his beautiful family this is alternative lifestyle, laura, we completely accept him because he is the best guy for the job. that's what america looks like sean duffy with his kids that's america. they don't look any more like

american than we do. people are not buying it. that's why people rejected the dei stuff. not working for this country there. focus on the idea that matter donald trump's america first ideas. >> biden, meanwhile, members of biden's cabinet who know everything they did undone yet they are trying to preemptively absolve themselves of any responsibility. i think they are worried about a real accountability. >> watch mayorkas. >> people have different view once what the correct policies should be. what the correct operational measures should be. those disagreements, those different views are voiced. decisions are made. and then everyone marches in unity together. >> are you sullingering your view -- your own personal views how to operate this were at odds? >> i don't want to get into the deliberative process. >> laura: byron, so now we are supposed to believe because he thinks we are stupid.

we are supposed to believe that he really wasn't on board with these border policies? and he was made to do all this stuff? is that what we're supposed to get from this. >> well, he sees himself headed to the hall of infamy for secretaries of homeland security certainly. and actually joe biden recently said that when he, joe biden, took office, illegal border crossings plunged. when, in fact, opposite happened. they skyrocketed. so, look, i think we are going to see a lot of revisionist history, particularly about the border and you will hear mayorkas. you will hear biden. you will hear everybody saying that illegal crossings were just plunging when he left office. they were at their lowest point since whenever when they left office and not pay any attention to the 10 million or so illegal and unvetted border crossers who were mostly allowed to stay in the united states. >> well, alex and byron, this will be a fun three days. cold, rainy, icy, but we're

looking forward to it. thank you both very much. >> thank you. >> laura: now that biden is on his way out the door. we are learning the truth about the coup against him byron just alluded. to say and the cover-up that actually preceded it. first senator coons let it slip about who orchestrated the takedown when he was asked about jill biden's feud with pelosi. >> said, quote, it was disappointing. you know that joe biden is very care 68 with how she uses her words. what did you make of that moment. this she may well have wished that speaker pelosi had engaged directly with them rather than orchestrating a campaign to try and get president biden to step down from the race. >> laura: but it wasn't just pelosi. today the "new york times" revealed that chuck schumer delivered the final blow or dagger to pres biden's re-electn hopes after biden bombed the debate, schumer took as it something of a gift and he used as it a catalyst for the conversation with the president. two weeks later, he took a four hour drive from new york to see

biden. we covered this, and rehearsed out loud, i guess in the car, what he was going to say? i know schumer reportedly told the president that staying in the race would be catastrophic. if you run and you lose to trump and we lose the senate, we don't get back the house. that 50 years of amazing beautiful work goes out the window, joe. but worse, you go down in history as one of the darkest figures. if i were you, i wouldn't run. i'm urging you not to run. well, biden only responded that he needed a week to think about it. it's being reported. and schumer left the meeting and then reportedly, again, broke down in tears. 8 days later. biden beings withdrew from the race. but the drama behind the democrats' ouster of biden only part of the story. the real scandal are the events leading up to the coup. the "new york times" is also reporting that long before the debate schumer had privately

concluded that the barrier of biden's age was too much for him to overcome. but schumer, like every other democrat in a position of power had chosen to do nothing. but, well, that's not true though. schumer and the democrats didn't do nothing. they spent months and i would say years lying to the american people. >> i talked to president biden, you know, regularly, oft sometimes several times in a week usually several times in a week. the mental acuity is great, it's fine. it's as good as it has been over the years. he is fine. all this right wing propaganda that his mental acuity has declined is wrong. >> laura: now we have more confirmation that he was lying from the times this: during their weekly conversations the president often rambled. once that while biden would forget why he had called. schumer thought little of it. he was convinced that biden could handle the job. oh, please. who would believe this?

no one thinks that chuck schumer still, believe it or not, still pretty dr. sharp. thought that biden could perform his duties as president another six months let alone another four years. schumer may be curiosity really liberal but he is not that out of it. they thought that they could cover this up. they were putting the presidency in the hands of a man they knew was declining to continue in four years if they were lucky. they wanted to use biden as their useful idiot as their puppet to do exactly as they wanted. well, that debate. that abysmal performance by joe biden exposed all of them. democrat senator sheldon whitehouse admits as much saying reportedly if biden didn't drop out they couldn't continue to claim he was fit for office because, quote: they would be lying but, of course, they were lying all along. well long before biden withdrew from the race. that, my friends is something

none of us should ever forget. because they were all consumed by their desire to hang on to power by any means necessary. and the democrat party and all their media cohorts, they continued the big lie while accusing trump of the big lie but lying to the american public about the mental fitness of our commander-in-chief. just so they could hold onto the proximity of power. and when they were caught, well, they just decided they subvert the will of the democratic primary voters and force their own nominee off the ticket. so, in the end, this remains one of the most egregious abuses of power we have ever seen in american politics. it's a scandal of lying, then it's a scandal of hopscotching over the voters who actually picked joe biden to be the nominee. we can never again trust nip of these people anywhere near the halls of power. and coming up, democrats, yes,

presidential medal of freedom accepted by son alex soros, of course. for most of biden's presidency the mega rich flocked to support him glitzy fundraisers attended by the movers and shakers of the industry. they all came to pay homage. what was wild was how much money biden and harris were able to raise no matter how bad they were as candidates. they still got the big money hauls. kamala raised a billion, including a lot from heavy hitters only to lose. wow. in fact, more billionaires supported kamala harris than trump. 83 to 52. but, that was then and this is now. over the past two months, the elites from tech and wall street are crawling over glass to work with trump. jerg, bezos, even bill gates all showed up at mar-a-lago. bill gates, a story today broke that said he was impressed after his three hour dinner with donald trump.

milestone culturally in this country. >> political wealth that can buy political power that can control what people are seeing on their algorithms. >> laura: well, the biden donors weren't trying to buy political power then? is that what we are supposed to believe? it's ludicrous. the truth is democrats are flailing. industry can'ts from silicon valley to wall street are going where the power is now. and the power right now is with trump and the republicans democrats are fine with monopolies, power, when they're the political beneficiaries, so what liberals are really mad about is that they can no longer control the narrative anymore. everyone is a news gatherer. everyone has a voice. and the old media poodles have gotten their come upens. and speaking of poodles. >> during his farewell address he warned the free press is crumbling in country. i would add that's only if we, the people let that happen. journalists exist to seek the

truth to tell people's stories, to lift up voices that may not be heard otherwise. to shine a lot on injustice and to hold the powerful accountable. we are not the enemy of the people, we are the defenders of the people. >> laura: oh my goodness. he really should hit the comedy line circuit with that routine. now, look in the end the test of trump's success is whether he will be able to work with all of these different groups and individuals that are coming to meet with him that he is assembling to make life better for the average american. america first is why he won. and his serving that agenda will make him even more popular through his four years in office than he is right now. joining me now is michael shellenberger, university of austin, cbr censorship and free speech also the founder of public news. michael, the old thiefdoms, they are akram bling. >> hey, laura, it's good to be with you. this is an amazing moment.

influencing government. and the president is saying we are going to end diversity, equity and up collusion then where does it leave a lot of people that women, blacks, others, the last 60 years to get in and now you shut the roof off on us. and you have the government to enforce it. >> laura: michael, i mean, five minutes ago like he was shaking down corporations to give to the national action network and he loved them. but now they are kind of waking up to the dei disaster. and he is miserable. >> yeah, i mean, look, it's happening everywhere, right? it's a return to the american roots, the american creed of individualism. egal tear i remember, equality of opportunity. it's now anybody can set the agenda on x. we saw a few weeks ago that the america first folks had a battle with elon musk over the h 1 v visas. it's really not the case of oligarchy control.

>> i read it as the president-elect trump is revealing his china strategy for the whole next four years. it's brilliant. it's taken part of it out of the art of will the deal. part is out of president trump's admiration for ronald reagan and reagan's negotiating style where he put a lot of pressure on the adversary even intimidating but always leave a way out and have respect and get finally get agreements so that we saw reagan you and i both served in the reagan administration, laura. we know he went from the evil empire and the ash bin of history to saying long time ago. now we had a new era and eventually get the collapse of the soviet communist party. i think president trump is revealing today how is he going to manage things and frankly what we can look for now i have dangerous encirclement chinese jet finers taiwan sometimes 20, sometimes 30 bombers and ships.

that type of housing pong up in the place of those old homes to satisfy liberal fever dreams. now, remember, they do have a housing shortage in california. liberals constantly talk about it. and democrats could always use that to justify rezoning these areas down the road. but who would want to live under these idiotic leaders who both didn't prepare for the fires and then can't ensure that the neighborhoods are restored in the aftermath. this dereliction leads a wide berth for conscience leaders to walk through and could be a tipping point for the g.o.p. that's been trying to break the liberal stranglehold on the golden state for decades. president trump is the man to do this. this past election he grew his support in 45 of 58 counties. joining me now is jillian michaels, celebrity fitness trainer. she lost her home back in 2018 in that california wildfire, remember that and recently evacuated her mom from that palisades fire. jillian, this is so heart-breaking to watch. i'm so angry about what the people there are going through.

will this horrific tragedy spur a political reawakening? >> i certainly hope so. and the reality is that we have to make this about negligence and corruption because the truth of the matter is the more we dig in on right and left, whether it is or whether it isn't, the more people who find themselves on the left are refusing to see what's right in front of their face. so i think the key here is to focus on everything that was done wrong, what needs to happen next, and asking yourself if the people currently in power of capable of facilitating that and to meet answer is overwhelmingly no we saw what happened in hawaii in those fires that ended up being a significant depopulation of once was, again, like this idyllic landscape. people just picked up and left went to other islands, went back

to the mainland and, look, people without trust in government start to spin theories some of them conspiracy theories thinking they want these neighborhoods gone. they want to rezone, they want powers. they want to turn this into something that looks like boca raton or tyson quarters, virginia than it did the palisades. that's a real concern. oh, without question disaster capitalism is a real thing. and finding somebody who can thread this needle is not going to be easy, which brings us back to the question of whether or not someone like gavin newsom has his intentions in the rate place let alone the capability to do this. what i would like to see is a former resident of california is giving people who have lost everything some tax relief. maybe a state buy back at fair market price. disaster relief grants, penalizing monster corporation who go in and try to pick the carcasses clean of vulnerable

[cheering and applause]

>> ladies and gentlemen, president putin. -- president putin? he's going to beat president putin. president zelenskyy. ♪ ♪ >> look, the amazing thing is you think these are sort of old clips from yesteryear? it continued to the very last day of the biden presidency. four years later, we still don't know what he is saying. this is last night. >> i found myself with the former pope who was much more conservative r and he wanted to see me after i spent some time in poland. i said they're going to lead it back, a year from now they will not be a part of nato.

you'll ruin your reputation. >> laura, he really should travel with his own interpreter now to translate what he means. he is making no sense. here he is four years later, stumbling, stuttering, wheezing to the very last moment. just yesterday at the defense department, they had to guide him to his spot because he did not know where he was going. remember the blue spot they put on the floor? it is still in operation, apparently. >> raymond, the thing about this is for you and for me, this is old news. because we were literally saying this five years ago. in 2019, we covered biden's stumbles. and we covered biden beginning to show his age. and he has always been known as -- god bless them, kind of a goofball. but now you see in realtime an elder in decline.

and that is going to be most of us in decline at some point. and it is said to see but you can have a president and decline. >> right. you can't have a president in decline when the united states is facing adversaries and challenges we have never faced before. and today on next, this morning, biden declared the equal rights amendment the law of the land. there's only one problem. the national archivist says the 28th amendment has not been ratified, it is not the law of the land. biden says he is the great defender of democracy. i mean, this is crazy. you can't just say something exists that does not exist when it pretends and points to the constitution that you have sworn to uphold. >> raymond, the best is when larry o'donnell there msnbc nods in those cutaway shots. biden is talking and he's thinking. >> laura, kamala harris is also not going gently into the

good night. here is her farewell address. lots of eye, me and my. >> i am fully aware that i am the public face of a lot of our work. and so i have the benefit of running into people all over our country who thanked me. and our work is not done. and is all you know, it is not my nature to go quietly into the night. >> she sings in one key. >> after demonstrable loss, it's best to go quietly and not exit laughing at the people who handed you the loss. >> what i was trying to say is she sings in one key. me, me, me, me. that's when the great lines of all time. she is bitter, jill is mad, joe's lost. kind of the same as how they started, really. i mean right? call me doctored biden! >> as an american, it breaks your heart that you have a president leaving office with no majesty, no grace, no charm.

there was a time at the end of an administration you would at least say he did some good things and he really did fight for the republic. here it is the same old, same old once again. it is kind of tragic. not only him but for the american people. >> i think we have done enough biden. i want to focus on the future, i'm done with the bidens. i want to focus on the future and on trump's plans and on the challenges, beating them and having a lot of fun in the new year. raymond, always great to see you. that is it for us tonight. we will give you the report from the inauguration on monday night. all of the festivities along the way, it will be a busy weekend and a snowy one as well. make sure to follow me for all of the hijinks on social media. remember it is america now and forever. we survived joe biden. jesse watters takes from here, have a great weekend. >> jesse: welcome to "jesse watters primetime". tonight...
