life to serve as your president. >> mr. president, we present to you these flags that were flown over the united states capitol at full mast in honor of being sworn in. ♪ ♪ >> i stand before you now as proof that you should never believe that something is impossible to do. in america, the impossible is what we do best. ♪ ♪ >> laura: good evening, america. i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle"

tonight live from the liberty ball in washington, d.c. as you can hear, the music is really fox news alert unanimously marco rubio giving trump his first official cabinet member. more on that in moments. here at the liberty ball. president trump and first lady melania to arrive. he just finished signing executive orders at the capital one arena. including one that withdraws us, thank god, from the paris climate accord and another ordering all federal employees back to work in washington. the mayor has wanted that because a lot of businesses around this arena have really been suffering. come back to work, i guess maybe you won't have a job.

president trump is back to the white house. looks like the sign even more executive orders he is coming here. liberty ball to cover it as you can see. right behind me sigh the crowd. also taking the stage country star jason aldean. grammy award-winning rapper, yeah, nelle. and trump's staple song the village people. all right, look. what you are seeing tonight so much pentagon ill toivity. if you followed me on social media. you were inside the st. john's church and rotunda. a bird's eye view of all of it and here we go.

new golden age tonight's angle. trump's swearing. in i'm telling you guys, it was surreal. the entire trump family, they shined like a new dawn. the man whose approach in policies dominated global politics. message very optimistic and forward looking. >> golden age of america begins right now from this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. we will be the envy of every nation and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer. during every single day of the trump administration, i will very simply put america first. >> laura: so why was putting america first -- why was that

ever controversial to anyone? if you are an american, it should be your instinct. just like you put your country first, put america first. your families first, america is your family. we're all family. and when family is hurt or threatened, family stands together. so, we ask for god's intervention and today it was clear that trump believes his presidency is divinely inspired and was divinely protected during the campaign. >> just a few months ago in a beautiful pennsylvania field an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. but i felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason, i was saved by god to make america great again. [cheers and applause] >> laura: and i watched the whole guard, they walked in

white house biographies, the clintons, bush, obama and they are all smart enough to know that today was not just a repudiation of joe biden and kamala harris. it was a crushing defeat for all of their world views the occasional flashes of bitterness and disbelief you can't really blame them, i guess. on their faces it was all very visceral. biden himself seemed befuddled. i was up close watching it. but to all of them trump's comeback it wasn't historic, it was an enraging indictment of the american voter who they think isn't sophisticated enough to understand how dangerous trump is and, of course, it wouldn't be a trump speech without his reminding us of just how badly they screwed it up. they screwed the country up. that's why he is here after all. so, a politicized doj, open borders, inflationary spending, more war. >> my recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible

betrayal and all of these many betrayals that have taken place give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy and indeed their freedom from this moment on, america's decline is over. [cheers] >> and the shear sight of the tech titans who lined up behind trump, trillions in wealth controlled and generated. is their desire to make trump successful real? besides musk will we will see. sergei, zuckerberg, all of them seemed oddly relieved to be here. to be there. they were very nice. but, undoubtedly trump's agenda won't always make them happy, nor should it. but as i told one of them, their life of entrepreneurship and ambition it really naturally

should find a home after all merit reins supreme: advances impossible possible. it's inspiring. >> many people fought it was impossible for me to stage such an historic political comeback but as you see today, here i am the american people have spoken. >> i stand before you now as proof that you should never believe that something is impossible to do. in america, the impossible is what we do best. >> laura: i love it. we are now looking at donald trump's motorcade leaving the capital one arena. a little easier job getting through d.c. whether you have it all cleared out. so he is heading back home, back to the white house. and a moving boxes bidens are out. trump has already set up the oval office, the diet coke

button is back. it's governing time. and governing we know is not easy. especially with such a slim majority. but, trump got going today with a flurry of executive orders ranging from immigration to limiting regulations, pulling some of them back. he even did the signings in public which i love. no more behind closed doors nonsense. in all of my political commentary years and it's been like almost three decades, this right now is exciting. >> this is the best chance to all of us have had in decades to put the interest of the american people, the average american first. last time in office, remember, donald trump sitting in that beast of a car he was derailed by lawfare, impeachment and covid, but now is a new day. and the democrats have been completely discredited and disgraced by the last round of pardons from biden. oh boy we are going to get into more on that later. so tonight as we are watching

president trump go back to the white house, quick change of clothes, before he comes here to the liberty ball, we urge the republicans and the house and senate, you got the majority, most of whom are there because of president trump's popularity, to support his efforts to reform the government and move this country in a common sense direction. if republicans fight trump, if they resist his agenda on immigration or spending cuts, trade, foreign policy, this celebration tonight it won't seem as historic in hindsight. it will just seem like another opportunity wasted in washington. but, if republicans take this whole day and whole night they help push trump through its agenda to help push it through regardless of the lawsuits and left wing attacks, this can really be, i'm telling you, a new golden age for america there he goes and that's the angle. joining me now katie pavlich,

fox news contributor and article iii project. katie, you watch it. on his way back. signing more executive orders. just withdrew from the paris accord. how exciting is this tonight? >> so exciting action after the speech so many times see speeches. if fib needed a reminder he is a massive action. what i loved about what he said today he acknowledged the pressing issues at the moment. inflation, use harness entire cabinet bring down prices so horrible for american families. and, of course, issues on the border. violent criminals out of our communities who are harming our sons and daughters, our friends, our husbands, our wives and getting them kicked out, reestablishing sovereignty. but my favorite part about the speech was his attitude about the new frontier. the american spirit. how america was killed by moved across the country continue

meant when he talks about panama canal and greenland. gulf of mexico gulf of america. is he talking about the greatest nation indicated at this, mike, america, donald trump, the doors have opened. back in the white house this is amazing. all of us documenting the lawfare, mike, who predicted this mike davis? how many predicted this was possible? >> we talked about it a lot on your show. the american people heard all the allegations and the so-called evidence against president trump, and they rendered their verdicts on november 5th. and president trump is back in the white house and he is going to bring much needed

accountability and that's going to start with the confirmation of pam bondi as the attorney general and kash patel as the fbi director, justice is coming katie i got to speak to kash patel earlier today. i hope they confirm him quickly. hope the republicans have the gumption to not drag this out. this team has been through a lot. they know where the pitfalls are and all the bodies are buried so to speak. they are not going to make the same mistakes and missteps first on. new deal. but they are ready now. they are experienced and these executive orders were written a while ago and they started dropping them. are there are going to be more tonight. >> in looking at the executive orders, it's trump taking away things that the biden administration did. executive branch mandating electric vehicles makes it more expensive for americans to go

drop heir kids off at school. go get groceries it. it comes to his nominees like kash patel, i hope that republicans highlight in his upcoming hearing his experience and his background. i mean, he was prosecuting terrorists in the department of justice he has record not spying on americans political purposes. he talks about today. that's all going away. weaponization inside institutions needs to be gone and trust needs to be restored inside the federal government. >> laura: mike, president trump today at the pro-tundra spoke pro-rotunda strongsestmilitary r seen. measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end and, perhaps, most importantly the wars we never get into my

proudest legacy that of a peacemaker and unifier. >> laura: mike, donald trump really, really, really hates war he thinks ukraine war $200 billion fiasco. doesn't look like anything more strongly tied to china. looks brasicly like a draw right now. he doesn't want any more of these wars, period. he wants to cut deals if possible. >> yes, i'm at president trump's commander-in-chief honoring our great men and women in uniform and our service members have a commander-in-chief of whom they can be proud again. katie, watching the faces of kamala harris and hillary clinton and even george bush, i

mean, this is nothing personal about any of them they made donald trump possible. if it weren't for their failures trump wouldn't be president. whether the it was the iraq war spending covid, the continuation of the mandates, donald trump is possible because of their failures. do you think they realized a little bit of that today? >> i think they do and also someone who showed up today was the former president barack obama who let's not forget told donald trump he would never be president. here he is with the greatest comeback in american history he said he could never do it sitting next to them reminding them of what they said. here he is back in the white house as the 47th president. don't you love it though? bill clinton was back there having a great time laughing.

>> having a great time. >> laura: doug emhoff didn't seem too happy. he seemed really miserable. all right, guys, thank you so much. president trump made a promise, of course to crack down on illegal immigration a few hours, this president, when, of course, he plans to sign more executive orders. revoke 80 radical actions of the previous administration. one of the worst in history. not one of them, the worst. anybody that would allow millions of people to pour through our borders from jails, prisons, mental institutions and insane asylums. gang members to be taken off the streets of venezuela and deposited not just venezuela. it stops as of 1:00 this

afternoon. joining me now tom homan. asked you about getting the job done. you said wait until 6:00 a.m. i think you gave me 6:00 a.m. tuesday to find out what is going on. okay. we are almost at 6:00 a.m. tuesday. so, tell us what can we expect? >> well, look, we are already taking steps to secure the border right now. >> laura: what is happening right at the border right now what is happening. >> we end catch and release. >> they said they didn't have catch and release. they said it was over. >> they got millions of releases but we're going to stop catch and release right off the bat. president trump said remain in mexico coming back. and we're going to terrorist organizations criminal cartels terrorist organizations game changer. going to help secure the border. operation starts tomorrow. ice agents, they are going to lose the handcuffs put on them by the biden administration.

they are going to put the handcuffs on the bad guys. >> tom, i was watching our friends other at one of the other networks this morning on msnbc. and they went on and on about how expensive deporting migrants is going to be i think we have it. >> trump's actions including declaring a national emergency at the southern border. farce we have know the latest reporting is there isn't one at the southern border. the crossings are at the lowest they have been. >> laura: okay. so there is no emergency, the crossings are the lowest they have been and they are saying that donald trump won't deport as many people as obama did first of all numbers aren't down significantly. they wanted joe biden or kamala harris to be reluctant. the numbers are still historic thousands through the cbp 1 app. stopped today. cuba, nicaragua, cuba and

venezuela. there is still thousands every day. i see thousands being arrested by border patrol. count the got-aways there still historic numbers. they created several different buckets and call them legal pathways which he they're not. same population of illegal aliens coming across the border. >> laura: we heard chicago is going to happen tomorrow and other cities then we heard that was kind of called off. what's the story there. >> the story with chicago specific operational plan was leaked. we pulled back and looking at safety concerns. this is always a dangerous job. what do raise the officer safety concerns. we looked at it and maize a decision. people find out real soon what we are going to do. >> laura: tom, when you think about where we have been over the past four years totals what's your best guest how many people came into the country didn't deserve any type of regularized status who came in because they allowed them in how many do you think? >> over 10 million.

over 10 million. >> laura: right now still paroling people in or they were paroling people from nicaragua, venezuela and cuba on humanitarian. is that over? >> absolutely. they abused. >> laura: hundreds of thousands. >> federal judges ignore the law they are breaking the law. that ends today. >> laura: that parole on hundreds of thousands of people over the last year, today that's gone? >> massive parole is over. case by case analysis based on the rules of law. they have not done that they have had massive parole to millions of people who don't qualify for parole. >> now, a lot of folks who are watching the titans of the tech world up there. and titans are the tech world, they like bringing a lot of people into the united states on h 1 b visas. they say we need those workers. i have agreement. way too many people. what about bringing in foreign workers that a lot of americans

important significant is this for the country. >> important moment. today the beginning of america's renaissance and america's come back. trump is going to lead comeback to political comeback and i'm very excited about what he is going to do for our country rights now waiting for donald trump to sign more executives actions. we don't know what camera we are on. music loud enough for you, 80's, 70s. sweet child of mine. good deal. but, when you think about who counted him out and what they wanted america to think. he was an insurrectionist. he was a traitor. he was a criminal. the minute january 6th happened, and now we're going to get into the partisan later. the democrats want that to just go away. i don't think america is going to forget what at the did.

>> no, they are not. i think president trump is showing america what it is like to be strong and tough and never give up and never give in and to sacrifice which is what he has done from. a personal point of view i can't begin to tell you how grateful i am to him. not only to bring me home but also made mug shots fashionable and i happen to have one of those. >> laura: well, we have a fox news alert. "primetime's" live from the liberty ball, oh, i'm looking at something else. i'm sorry. i got teleprompters out the wazoo here. all right. guys. i think what we know right now trump wants to work aacross cross the aisle. he wants to be the peacemaker not just nationally but politics domestically. let's watch. >> i wish we could have had a better relationship. i wish we could have had a better relationship between republicans and democrats. i was with senator schumer. i said, chuck, i think it's time

we all start getting a long a little bit because it doesn't make sense. we literally never get a democrat vote. never get a republican vote. almost. >> laura: i can't read it. what does that say? donald trump, who wants democrats and republicans to come together for the good of the country. governor, we have had four years of inflationary spending. 200 billion to ukraine with zero audits and open border and donald trump walks in there today in that rotunda and he said that's over america's decline is over. how important was that. >> very important. i hope my democrats put aside party affiliation and put country first. >> this is a time when all americans should remind themselves we are all democrats. we are all republicans. trump owe democrats. it's time to come together

sergei brand. obviously musk doing a lot for trump. all these people really willing to throw trump in jail frankly. they thought at least they seemed to think that donald trump was anti-democracy, an oligarch in waiting. but they were all there biggest moneymakers in the united states of america came to that swearing in. donald trump was making a statement by putting them there what statement do you think he was making? >> the statement is he making is there is a new sheriff in town. and that he's the big dog now. and that it's time to follow his leadership and solve the problems of the american people because the american people gave him a mandate to do exactly the things he talked about doing today. >> laura: now, speaking of democrats who don't get it, from my home state of connecticut, it kills me to say this.

but chris murphy who said oh the inauguration was brought inside because donald trump knew he couldn't get a crowd together. well, you have been around the streets, right? >> right. >> laura: he would have had at least a half a million people here. is he basically up in arms about the tech bros being in d.c. >> this is the unraveling of our democracy because what is happening before our eyes literally on that staining today is that the billionaires who control huge parts of this economy are trading favors with donald trump behind closed doors often where none of us can see it. >> laura: behind closed doors. he is giving them freebies. do you think that's really what he is doing. or is he telling them all right, guys. you are richer and you are still going to be rich. but it's time to bring the bacon home. >> yeah, no. i think what president trump is doing is he recognizes that if

the guys who have the money are part of growing an economy, everybody benefits. and there is that democrat again talking from the talking points. >> laura: so old. >> they haven't learned their lesson. the american people are tired of being lied to by these democrats. you can't fool them anymore. >> laura: you would have thought, governor, that after this election there would be some recall grating. john fetterman interesting. he saw where his state went. >> right. >> laura: he has been very interesting when he said i don't agree with them on everything. but they have interesting ideas. smart. >> very smart. very encouraging, my kind of democrat. i almost want to give up this ttuxedo and get a hoody. >> and shorts. >> laura: he showed up at the rotunda in shorts today. voters obviously want change so a new cnn poll said that 95% of democrat voters, governor, say they we need change with 13%

saying the party needs to be completely revamped, 45% say there needs to be major change. it looks like the voters kind of know there is something needs to be -- something needs to be done. the question is whether hakeem jeffries, chuck schumer, who did not look happy. i was feet away from him today. he did not look happy this morning. >> if you are asking me what the democrats are likely to do? >> laura: yeah. >> i'm fearful they are going to be the same old inside washington beltway democrats trying to block the initiatives that president trump is going to try to put through. following the demand of the american people that's my fear. now, the power of the people can change all of that and what you got with schumer and these democrats basically are professional politicians. and they are afraid of the people. they don't trust the people. and if they hear from the people, they will cave. in just like they have done before. >> laura: a couple of friends of

mine's daughters were taking today about, you know, you had -- you have a few, you know, entertainers here. right? and you had a lot of entertainers who is showed up for kamala harris. bruce springsteen we are hearing born in the u.s.a. by the way, america, it's an antiwar song, everybody thinks born in the u.s.a. is like an antiwar song. >> right. >> we had -- we had all these celebrities come out for kamala harris. but there an s. an interesting thing happening in the hip hop community. we had, of course, nelle is performing tonight here kid rock is big was i there at the crypto ball. it's a little sign of change perhaps in the gainment community this is more than half of america. so, taylor swift, god bless her she is an amazing talent. but she has got bad advice. don't you think she got bad

advice to endorse kamala harris. >> my daughters are swifties. >> my daughter is, too. >> laura: my daughter. >> happening entertainers, they see in donald trump very unique political figure. is he not your typical politician. he has become larger than life iconic figure and he shows bravery courage, toughness and strength. >> laura: if you would have told me in 1984, that ymca would be a song that president would use as his rallying cry, i never would have believed it. thanks for putting up with the music. all right. so everyone is partying it up here at the liberty ball. they are going crazy. huge crowds came in. but, congress is already getting to work on president trump's cabinet. so, let's go live to capitol hill where fox news senior congressional correspondent chad pergram he is standing by,ed that, what can you tell us? >> chad: good evening, laura.

two big things from capitol hill tonight. the first cabinet secretary of president trump's cabinet has been confirmed. the former senator now, marco rubio, republican of florida, he was confirmed 99-0. he voted for himself, which is very rare to have a senator who is up for a cabinet position to do that. but the vote was 99-0. he indicates that he will, in fact, be sworn in tomorrow. the other big news here from capitol hill is that they have now passed the laken riley act in the senate. the vote there was 64-35. it requires automatic detention for illegal immigrants who are arrested for shoplifting or other minor crimes. that was significant because it had reasonably broad democratic support. there were 12 democrats who voted for this bill and the 2026 midterms are already out in full force nrsc national elected to senate. put out a statement criticizing

jon ossoff. the democratic senator from georgia who is up in 2026 for not voting in favor of this. this bill, the laken riley act, that will be the first piece piece of legislation to go to the new president to sign into law. it's not ready just yesterday yet. the reason is they have to move it back through the house of representatives. changes in the piece of legislation, it was also an original senate document so they have to bounce it back parliamentary ping-pong to the house of representatives. the house should approve that on wednesday. and then it's ready to go to the president for his signature. the other thing that we are looking at here is when they will try to move some of these other nominees for president trump, voted out of committee tonight, the armed services committee. was pete hegseth. he is up for deference secretary. he is probably going to be confirmed in the coming days, not right away because democrats want to slow that down a little bit he should be able to have the votes. keep in mind have full power which senate republicans are not at right now because they have

two vacancies, the vance seat in ohio and also now the rubio seat in florida. they will be at full power very soon with those two you? senators come in. they could lose up to three senators on the g.o.p. side of the aisle. we're told susan collins the republican senator from maine is undecided on that nomination right now. maybe some confirmations as early as tomorrow. back to you. >> laura: chad, thank you very much. 99-0 for marco. not bad. joining me now old friend missouri senator josh hawley. isn't it fun? >> it is good. it's wonderful. >> laura: everyone has been fighting for so long and you are still going to have to fight this moment being in that rotunda today watching that situation in with the old guard watching donald trump laid how significant is this. >> being there in the rotunda,

listening to president trump tell them to their face that they had failed. which is true and laying out new vision for what he is calling a golden age inspiring. >> laura: i know people said oh, it's kind of negative i think it's important for them to say our country can never do that again. we cannot open our borders like that and cannot spend and do inflationary spiral. we cannot send our money into a war that is unclear prospect and they were seething. i mean, i'm sorry, i was sitting right there to look in the eyes of barack obama and to look in the eyes of kamala harris, i mean, they were like i think jill biden-i think jill biden was the angriest. joe biden was actually the best of all of them. i think. well, i lost. i mean, he was actually all right. >> really my view is that the

message was incredibly positive. >> laura: absolutely. >> looking forward to the greatness of this country. recalling what we were. and looking forward to to what we could be. the problems with the leadership class and is he going to change it. >> laura: all right. we have to talk about the big news. this is all breaking as we were sitting there at the who he it unda and at the st. john's church. oh my god. he pardoned fauci, the covid crimes. you are pardoning him. so we had all these people take that shot who lost their jobs. a lot of them have, to this day, side effects. and no one pays any price for that no one. >> it's outrageous. also, let's not forget. >> liz cheney, adam kansas gear the j-6 committee. >> admission the corruption of this regime. >> laura: what did joe's brother really do that he needs a brother for. >> we should fimsd out. they are not legal and binding. find out and put these people

under oath. >> all right. donald trump just walked out. we're going to go live and watch the signing more executive action. let's take a look. >> so this is january 6th. these are the hostages. approximately 1500 for a pardon. >> yes. >> full pardon. >> full parted or commutation. >> full pardon. we have about six commutations in there where we are doing further research. >> okay. >> nice to see you again. >> you too. so this is a big one. any of you want to explain about this? we hope to get -- we hope they come out tonight, frankly. they are expecting it.

approximately 1500 people. six commutations. >> were there any cases did you not pardon. >> we are looking at different things but the commutations would be the ones that will take a look and maybe it will stay that way or it will go to full pardon. >> the order does require the bureau of prisons to act immediately on receipt of the pardons and commutation orders. sir, this is an. >> why don't we get that down so they can get them going right now. is that okay? >> yep, absolutely. >> this is a proclamation guaranteeing the state's protection against invasion based on the current crisis at the southern border. invokes various executive powers relating to the ongoing invasion of the southern border. >> mr. president, what makes you confident that those are not going to be blocked by the courts? >> i don't think they will. i don't think they can be. they are very straight up. why don't you take that and go

over here. can you get him over here? on this side. do you mind? just go right over here with your friends. okay? >> sir, this is an executive reg the united states refugee admission program to better align with american principles and american interest. >> okay. >> okay. >> thank you, sir. this next executive order is about protecting america from foreign terrorists and other national security and public safety threats. again, crisis at the border but it goes beyond that and implicates other executive powers as well. >> okay.

>> president trump, cartels are now going to be seen as foreign terror organizations would you think about ordering u.s. special forces into mexico to take them out? >> could happen. stranger things have happened [inaudible] >> say it. >> how would you make sure that maduro would accept venezuelans? >> we will see venezuela. we are looking at venezuela very strongly. it's a country i know very well for a lot of reasons and it's -- boy it was a great country 20 years ago and now it's a mess, right? can you expect ice raids tomorrow. >> what does that neon. >> can we expect ice raids in major cities? >> i don't want to say with when. it's going to happen. has to happen or we are not going to have a country left. >> executive order

dessittingating the cartels and other organizations to be foreign tears organizations? >> that's a big one. >> yes, sir. people have wanted to do this for years. they so they are now designated as terrorist organizations foreign and mexico probably doesn't want that but we have to do what's right they're killing our people they are killing 200,000, 350,000 a year not a hundred as has been reported for 15 years. probably 300,000. >> mexico doesn't -- how going to deal with this? >> i don't know you will have to ask them. >> executive order protecting american people against invasion which against deals with the southern border unprecedented admission of the illegal aliens across the southern border.
