everyone, i am lori ingram, and this is "the ingrham angle" and thank you for joining us here at joe donald trump has officially submitted his place in history as most pro-female president ever! >> the war on women sports is over! [cheers and applause] >> laura: as transplanted takes, we will talk to the winners in the battle and as for trump's bombshell gaza proposal... speak with the president is willing to think outside of the box. look for unique and dynamic ways to solve problems that felt like an trackable. >> laura: middle east leaders were caught off guard but defense secretary pete hegseth, he is here to tell us more. what really has liberals fuming that the taxpayer supported/funds are being zeroed out. >> we will not shut up! we will stand up! we will speak up! we will rise up!

>> laura: have the dems found resistant legs. that brings us to trump waste removal services. that is the focus of tonight's "angle." have you ever seen what happens when addicts can't find they are fixed? it is pretty ugly. they will do and say almost anything to get their drugs. >> listen, i need you to help me out, right? i need you to give me some money, okay? i need you to give me like $5, like $20 because i'm in some trouble. >> laura: well official washington has been addicted to spending for decades and what they use our money for their own pleasure trips and expect no consequences for typical addicts, no accountability. when they are supply is threatened coated they rant, raid, and babel. >> it is popular with the public

that i say to that bowl [bleep]! [cheers and applause] that is where we have to make a stand because without that code to be don't have a country! >> laura: we have no country without what exactly, types of products usaid funds? they are totally unrelated to this president's priorities. >> usaid strengthen trans organization with gender from a health care in guatemala. usaid awarded $1.5 million for providing a gender sensitive response to migration at the venezuelan. 4.3 million on october 1st to a group to find services for men hasex in so south africa. >> these folks are junkies, not nancy mace. without taxpayer money to waste,

sputtering fools and they can't heal their own party but they claim to be able to heal the world? >> the republicans, they are losing when they attack our healers. our healers surrounded all over the globe! usaid has kept the peace in the globe! we are not colonizers, we are supposed to be a democracy. we honestly must ask this party to reevaluate its own relationship with god! >> laura: her party which fights for partial birth abortion and trans surgery for minors is going to accuse others of being godless for not blowing billions on climate and gender boondoggles? nice try! the definition of incoherent, a political movement that obsessed on this... >> we have to calm the rhetoric down. we have to make sure that we treat each other with respect

and condemn the violence whenever it occurs. >> he has increased his violent rhetoric, donald trump has about politico opponents. >> laura: but now the party sounded like this... >> let me tell you something, mr. trump, you and your little friend off of twitter, yell about to find out! >> we are here to fight back. we have got to tell elon musk nobody elected your! >> we have to fight this and the courts and we have to fight this in the congress and we have to fight this in the streets! >> shut down the city! [cheers and applause] we are at war! >> laura: for decades, many of us have complained about did nothing republicans. every election season, they promise to starve the beast, the rise of the bureaucratic state and bring transparency to

washington. that would be great. year after year, government spending only increased. whacked job programs kept getting funded into/machine kept turning. but trump '47 is changing all of that. tough questions from the first term, president trump knows he has no time to waste if he really wants to slash government waste. he knew this would require unconventional thinking from someone who like himself is used to define the critics. elon musk's blitzed through the federal government spending has put official washington and its tote gimmick toadies on defense. they are scrambling for an effective response. nbc is warning elon musk and doge are attacking the government with lightning speed no less. only d.c., by the way you would actually say an effort to save taxpayer money or staff are working 120 hours a week, that

is somehow cold happen to them. now, this piece unwittingly is hilarious because we are supposed to be frantic because this team of really smart people is there poring over us to make office building leases, spinning contracts, and employee performance with state and intention of radical downs downsizing. you mean all the free time between managing spacex and tesla, elon musk is doing what president trump committed to do on the campaign trail? he called bit department of government that he for. >> it is a humorous name, but ironically, a very serious and significant impact on government waste and foreign abuse, which is really astonishing. >> laura: hundreds of billions of dollars may be as much as $1 trillion down a rat hole in d.c. every year. and now the doge team

considering the elimination of entire departments and agencies that aren't going to have any negative impact on the average american. earlier this week we exposed corruptocaras at usaid but that is bureaucracy. will trump shuttled the fail of the department of education? it sure sounds like it. >> we are ranked number one so we spend more than any people in the country in the world and ranked at the bottom of the list and ranked very badly. what i want to do is let the state run. >> laura: this is making those who benefit ideologically or financially from a perpetually unaccountable bureaucracy very agitated, even very belligerent they are becoming. musk as they are new public enemy number one. >> this dude is probably unintelligent leaders i have ever met or seen or witnessed.

which, you, you know, you can probably even clean bathrooms. all of that is to say is that they don't do their homework. >> laura: anyways... now imagine being aoc and trying to convince voters that she is smarter than elon musk and donald trump. now, nevertheless, the squad is fanning out trying to stretch its clipped wings. no what happens when these brainiacs are asked simple questions. >> there are americans who want the money america spends abroad to be spent at home instead. >> can you explain to those people why they should be interested in helping families like yours? >> i think what is really important for the american people to understand is that this money really amongst less than 1% of what our budget is as a country, but is money that

goes to the most vulnerable around the world. >> laura: how arrogant could she be. tens of billions of dollars, no biggie. no wonder america is in such massive debt. now, new york senior senator was no more convincing. >> doge is operating in many ways like a shadow government. the american people will not stand for nonelected, secret group to run rampant through the executive branch. being innovative is good. that mr. musk, this is not a tech start-up. these are public institutions. >> laura: now, we are supposed to believe shocked schumer is against unelected power? that is precisely what the democratic state is and what musk wants to put an end to. all those dependent agencies that run around like the people elected them opm, cfpb and any

oversight and waste money that congress never specifically authorized. but well doge comes to a tingle of overspending and thank the good lord they are doing it, they do need to remember that if these democrats ever win back the house, they will start subpoenaing everyone. they tried that today on the hill. >> who is this unelected billionaire that he can attempt to dismantle federal agencies, fire people, transfer them, offer them early retirement, and have sweeping changes to agencies without any congressional review given his prominence in his importance? i am moved that the committee subpoena elon musk to report as a witness at the earliest possible moment. >> laura: democrats are itching to get back into power. why? to serve you?

no, they want to watch more investigations, three weaponize the government. they will do it. they will try to bankrupt the doge staffers. they probably couldn't do it to musk, but if they could put men jailed, i have no doubt they would. we must not let that happen. midterms right around the corner believe it or not, the overriding question for voters must end up being who governs the country, the bureaucrats or the people? trump, vance, the doge believe you should govern through elected leaders and right now they are replacing a legacy of public cynicism and distrust of government with a new era of transparency and common sense. it is about time. and that is "the angle." >> this is just the beginning. if doge and tech usaid today, you can be sure they will move onto another target tomorrow.

knows, maybe it will be at the postal service or the irs. >> laura: oh, thanks for the idea to check. it sounds like elon musk was listening. he teased the audit of an irs on x and a poll should be next and 51 said percent and nearly 41% said f ts and only 8% said no. missouri senator josh hawley, it is amazing whether you call it turning over the rocks and seeing the creepy-crawly things scatter or just some like the best disinfection in washington, man, they are panicking and the democrat party over this. just because they are panicking big time, laura, the power base is being threatened. that is what is going on. look at what they are doing at usaid youth. they have used that as their personal plaything and that includes billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have find outrageous stuff overseas

like trance affirming projects in zimbabwe or whatever. but also let's not forget to find preferred media outlets like "politico" and who knows what other left-wing rags have been getting money. federal government money from this agency, and there is no accountability. so yes, what is happening is trump is exposing all of this and cutting up liberal supply chains as it were and liberals are totally losing their minds. do we need more of it and you mention irs and i love it. i love trump's to get rid of internal revenue service and let's make it external revenue service to make these agencies work for the american people. >> laura: i think senator chris coons may actually have won the award for the most unhinged take on what is going on. check it out. >> if elon musk wins and our foreign assistance completely ends, who will cheer and who

will win? the cartels will win. terrorists will win, russia will win, china will win. this effort is not efficient. but is not same. it is not respectful. and it does not make america safe. >> laura: well, he is not screaming like some of the other folks dead, but this guy knows better. and i think they are really trying to figure out, how do we get our sea legs and the resistance questionnaire so they have put themselves on the side of the prophet spenders in d.c. living up to the cliche of the big spending fat cat democrats. they are just walking right into their own bad brand. >> yeah, so here is their message to the american people. yes, we would like to waste all of your money and take all your money and we don't want to spend on america and we don't want you to have better jobs, higher wages, secure border.

we want to spend it overseas promoting the left-wing transgender policies. we want to make sure the trans flag is flying everywhere. we want to make sure that we are pushing every left-wing pro-abortion policy we can. that is what we want to spend your money on in america. that is your message? i hope, laura, they went on to send midterms. i hope they run on this forever. this is exactly what the american people rejected and the democrats want to know why they are so unpopular? that is why you are so unpopular. >> laura: do you have any doubt, senator if the democrats and the midterms willing to recapture the house, and articles of impeachment, democrats already written them up, but they would go back to the investigation, subpoenas flying, and multiple congressional committees investigating doge and elon musk and others? >> not a doubt in my mind. that is exactly what they would do. they would absolutely try to

turn the full weaponization. they go back to their playbook, which is weaponize, weaponize, weaponized trying to intimidate any reformer and shut down dissent. these people were willing to use the fbi to get wiretaps and willing to send s.w.a.t. teams to the homes of pro-lifers, there is nothing they won't do. we have to remember that this is why what trump is doing right now attacking left-wing infrastructure is so important. >> laura: senator, as always, thank you. when we come back, how will trump's plan to take over gaza actually work? we will ask secretary hegseth that and a lot more coming up.

because this is out-of-the box idea. that is who president trump is and why the american people elected him. >> laura: indeed, the president's bombshell seem to catch capitol hill along with foreign allies and foes a little bit off guard.rybo >> he said in the press conference, everybody i havere spoken to loves the idea that the united states owning that piece of land. here are some of the wordsg frm the leaders have that this, morning, they legal, racist, nonnegotiable, absurd! >> is that the typical press n naysaying or is there somethinge different going on?le pete hegseth, the firs."t time n "the ingraham angle" as th e secretary of defense, mr. secretary, congratulations and it is fabulous t.o have you on tonight.er i saw you earlier with prime minister and continue and they said you didn't want to get ahead of the president on this,t this has caused quite a stiries. among the allies and among adversaries that what can youabu

tell us tonight to clear up some of the confusion about what thei president floated? >> i think what karoline leavitt said his right to go to a lot of assumptions pushed up on whatd n the president said. what i said in front of benjamin netanyahu is worthar repeating right now that ultimately all options are on the table because we are not going to lay out exactly what wa would or would not do in this particular context. this is outside-of-the-box thinker who understands, lower ais tt the definition of insanity, which ir trying to do the same thing and hoping for a different result. timeand gaza, we have seen for f decades time and time again ts fall's believe that we just a different sort of hamaens or palestinian authority and we lem them back in and negotiate again we will get somee.etan sort of e and benjamin netanyahu knows that is not true and president trump knows thate isd not true.box. he is going to overturn thethes

applecart, as she said think can outside of the box and through these types of discussions, laura you can move the window oa what is possible.d ot the israelis want to remove. >> let him. this is what benjamin netanyahu and others have said clearly.e n hamas needs to go in phases have israelis need to be taking and bringing our americans back as well. once israel is able to eradicate hamas, that is not our job but israel wants to do that. at the status of gaza is a conversation president trump is willing to have. what is the status and how ids a guaranteed? laura, we haveni talked aboutst this in the past. him that that one of the wars in iraq and afghanistan and ihe recognize what entanglement the last two decades has looked .ike president trump was the first td call the iraq war a dumb war. that is not to impugn those that e goserved a man i love the legy of who served there but the result is we got entangled for decades and what did america arget out of it?t gahe knows that and loves to rae the alarm bells about that.

that is not what gaza has been keeping all options and recognizing supportive and i'll lighten thinking outside of the box and who knows what will happen after that. >> laura: doside you know if the president checked with jordan oy any of the middle east allies before the announcement yesterday? again, i don't know at this t reporting is accurate, i have no idea, mr. secretary. the reports the chief of staff takebyn back by the announcement and others in the room were surprised about the announcement, whic nh is not negative or positive, but if a n byisedeople are take surprise, you can't be surprised that the reaction is well. >> i was not surprised, laura. i appreciate robust conversations how the peasant makes decisions. nobody talks more to allies and. president trump. nobody has done morebrou for tht region.e nobody has brought more peace. through the abraham accordsindi working with neighbors.rom, he recognizes the obvious and

think about the indictments on gaza save the left for the longest time. it is an open air prison is what they say all the time trapped by his release. what if we open the door and allow people to actually leave if they wanted to leave temporarily or for a longer term? estihe is simply asking the quen othersai won't ask, and the sini egypt or in jordan, which you be willing to entertain it? what would be the terms by whicr you would?as a i know he's had those conversations and i know he's going to have them and he's also talked about other countries being willing to open their doors and recognize reality asio far as finding those type of things.th it has been a static conversation for too long which is why you so prime minister benjamin netanyahu right next to him think this is a disruptor outside-of-the-box thinker and we need new ideas where it hasn't been disruptecad for a lg time.ma they will be peoplnae caught off guard and that is something e the president is willing to manage but those of us therected were not surprised he would think differently because that. is what he got elected to do.

>> lauran : could you envision u.s. boots on the ground to manage this takeover or rebuild? would that be a possibility? >> so laura, i think we are a very long way from that.. part of this conversation would be robust discussions and would have us the secretary of defense president and national security advisor with the secretary of state and allies and partners. con that is a long conversation. but ultimately wha it i know sitting with prime minister wan benjamin netanyahu and his release they want to finish the job against hamas. t they want to finish the jobpene again hamas and eradicate whatha happened to those on october 7th. they want to clear that out and get the hostages back. as. our allies, we want to support them i n doing that.>> l you bring peace with thee. destruction of israel, that is how you bring peace? i support that. what happens is a longer conversation.en and hopefully in every case an

i spent years as a guard tell tele- pan type guards and a facility but for this. from the beginning it is the perfect place.es w you have a hardened facility for tren de aragua, violent gang member types who need that kindo of lockdown. you have the other side of the isle of guantanamo bay naval station built for migrants forll those who extricated out of the united states. weow know there will be legal challenges. here is what we know, president trump knows, border security and internae l enforcement is national security because we weren't paid for the last four years under joe biden. teams have millions of people into the country and we have no idea who theey are. and prioritizing with violent or sketchy past and use guantanamo bay as transit way to remove them and send them back to their home country.n i will tell you this, laura, i was down at the border and talk about recruiting numbers, the morale of military is sky-high

for two reasons. it is incredible that donald trump effect, president trump effect and they want to serve under commander-in-chief they knowum willbe have their backs. that is number one. number two code, they are defending that only in. we spent two decades guarding other people's borders. when you meet these men and women on our border, in real time and to defend their communities, their families, they are churches, they were school, they love that in our motivated by tha.t and know we . this is part of a real solution to a real problem that thede president promised theli americ peopleth and he is delivering. awill therapy legal battles? tt is what theyndin always do that pablwe are standing on high ground and military capable of doing this and we are excited to be i a part of this. >> laura: mr. secretary i know you are involved in conversations about horrific accident at reaganblac national airport black hawk helicopter mo aboinvolved in that. do we know why perhaps that black hawk was flying at anng

>> new york magazine thought it could get away with selectively editing its cover photo cropping out black trump supporters. of course to paint young conservatives a bunch of knee jerk racists but they're not letting the liberal media run away with this narrative any longer. our next guest hosted the event that was featured in that cover story and now he's threatening to sue. joining me now, co-chair. and i believe most importantly, you're a university of alabama graduate. is that not correct? >> university of alabama. good taste, laura. good taste. >> laura: all right. good man. cj, you sent a letter to the new york magazine. what did it say? and what are you trying to accomplish? >> we called them out for portraying deliberately in event in a false light. they made an objective effort to try to exclude every black attendee from this event perpetuate the narrative that

was some maga kkk. this was joyous young people coming together to celebrate the fact that president trump was returning to the whitehouse and we're not ashamed of it but we are going to hold them account for their lies and down right slander >> laura: well, how are you going to actually prove defamation? because you actually have to prove intent, which you could infer, i guess in the way they cropped that. but that they had malice of forethought and what they wanted to do. >> yeah. >> laura: do you believe you'll find the evidence in discovery? are you really going to move forward with a defamation claim? because if so, you know, everybody has to produce their documents >> you're exactly right. we're looking a at every possible avenue. but what we're looking at is a false light claim. we know for a fact that they intentionally cropped out people

on the cover of this magazine to remove all the black people in attendance. they did not reach out to me at any point for comment because they knew if they acknowledged the fact that black man who is black to everyone but joe biden had organized the event, it would undermine their narrative of this was some racially exclusive event. so we're looking forward to holding them account and we're going to do all that we can do to fight for the people and this -- who end a -- who attended this event >> laura: a lot of these people are your friends and after that story, a lot of them felt like they were painted as racist just for being at that party. that is unacceptable. they should retract that cover and frankly publish an apology at the very least. cj, thank you very much. that's it for us tonight. make sure to follow me on social media. you know them all.
