this is "the ingraham angle" and as always thank you so much for joining us. tonight, we told you that hated you. >> the fact that i'm routing for canada. >> j.d. vance hits back hard against the woke culture. >> don't allow this woke culture to send you a bad person because you are a man. >> is trump about to bomb the cartels. >> what can you tell us about the c.i. a drone fights over mexico all that and more but first ♪ how are they doing it? doing so much. so many executive orders. so much trimming of government fat? so much diplomacy? and trade policy so fast? yeah, they have learned some hard lessons from the first go around yes, they are more

organized this time. but it's a little simpler than that trump and his team are changing washington so profoundly because donald trump addressed friends and political foes. >> i let the press in today because we have nothing to hide, right? it's much better. they said do you want to let the press in? i said why not. do you think biden would do that? i don't think so then came salvo about protecting women sports. some pledged not to comply like maine's janet mills. >> do you understand maine -- is maine here, the governor of maine? >> yeah, i'm here. >> are you not going to comply with that? >> i'm complying with state and federal law. >> well, we are the federal law. well, you better do it. you better do it. because you're not going to get

any federal funding at all if you don't. your population, even though it's somewhat liberal although did i very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports. so you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any, any federal funding. >> see you in court. >> every state. >> good. i will see you in court. i look forward to that that should be a real easy one. and enjoy your life after governor because i don't think you will be in elected politics. >> laura: now, that was the best trump reading? no, trump one-on-one with someone? i love it. by the way, he was with tiger woods at the white house announcing plans to honor african-americans. that was yesterday because the left thinks they have the final say on history. no. >> the garden will predominantly feature women like harriet tubman, rosa parks, billie

holiday, aretha franklin and coretta scott king. jacqui, booker t. washington. martin luther king jr. muhammad ali and the late kobe bryant. >> laura: now, that's going to be a beautiful tribute to african-americans, a lasting tribute. but with the trump administration it's like ripping up the old weeds of the establishment. and replanting the place with a tradition and new officials who actually care about the people of america. not the bureaucracies that have robbed americans for years. the biden administration said any possible money that they could -- if there was money they could send to facilitate an amplify illegal immigration,

they sent it. okay. they took money from fema, meant for helping americans in distress. and sent that money to luxury hotels for legal immigrants in new york. that is. [boos] >> that is an outrage. >> laura: fema money in one big pot used to house illegals in luxury hotels. this is another outrage. and, by the way, the rampant covid fraud, we knew that was going to happen, billions and billions going out the door. well today we learned that billions and billions in cody relief funds meant for schools were spent on things like $86,000 in hotel rooms in vegas. 60 grand on swimming pool passes. i don't know what that means. and thousands that california one district there used to purchase an ice cream truck. and democrats wonder why americans just don't trust them.

don't trust them at all on the economy. and that's why doge's efforts are still so popular. nonstop lawfare, democrats only hope for slowing the trump agenda before the midterms and also their only hope of stopping the chainsaw that the doge crew is taking to every federal agency. even with activist judges ready to roll over trump. democrats have still had mixed results. it's good news for trump shrink the government agenda came yesterday when a federal judge refused to halt firings of unnecessary federal employees. now, this is despite, by the way, all the sob stories of the bureaucrats that are circulating online. >> i'm just always thought that hard work pays off, you know. and it just -- it doesn't feel like that right now. >> see the work that we do. the people that we help and impact that we make. >> it's been very important to me and it's something that i dedicated my entire adult life

to and i'm just devastated by this termination. >> i'm really upset like this was my dream job. i'm also outraged for my colleagues. >> outraged for my colleagues. well, i mean, it's never fun, you know. i have been fired. it's not fun. as elon musk said today, it's better for people who are in unnecessary jobs to move into necessary jobs in the private sector. it will be better for everyone. by the way, probably for most of those employees as well. by the way team trump hasn't been as fortunate executive order banning birthright citizenship. a federal appeals court refused to reinstate that despite the administration's request. now that one is headed for the supreme court. i have told you that before. and there it may be a rough ride. we will see how it all plays out. as of today, trump's agenda, his policies remain very popular. remember, voters elected him to beat inflation, bring down

prices, to close the border and restore common sense, pragmatism to u.s. foreign policy. but congress also needs to step up congress also needs to give america lasting relief and change and this means we have to reverse the usual trend of is grow can not allow any slippage. meanwhile in democrat circles. >> the democrat party has in some ways become too much seen by to many americans as party of elites and institutions that have failed them. if you were talking about democracy over the dinner table, you probably don't have to worry about the cost of the food on that table. >> laura: democrat voters are beginning to lose faith. while congress has an overall 2 #% approval rating, that number drops to 5% for democrats.

and it's because democrats are doing nothing for the american people. joining me now matt towery, political analyst and mark penn former clinton adviser, both are pollsters. mark, let's start with you. let's start with the democrats first. why are they failing to connect with the american people a month into this administration? i got new polling coming out monday that i just looked at and frankly the democratic party is falling off a cliff. the ratings which were in the high 40's are going to be like 35% and i think the basic question who is doing better job as president, biden or trump, trump is winning that with 57%. i think you are seeing a retrospective assessment of biden and the direction the democratic party was going. it really a lot more negative than it was on election day. they're looking at the contrast on immigration, on economic

policy. on some of the social policies. and boy, they are re-evaluating and the democratic party, i have never seen anything like this. this is a record low were the democratic party in terms of favorability. it's falling way down. i don't think there is any leadership right now that's going to be able to bring that back. >> laura: cnn was all excited the other day matt towery because in a few polls trump's numbers declined a little bit. okay. they are like oh, it's -- his numbers are falling, they're slipping. what do we know really about the current state of trump's approval, his approval on the economy, and just the direction of these policies? >> well, i think first of all mark framed it right. where is trump vis-a-vis biden? that's way ahead. that's something that gets hidden in these stories. a lot of the pollsters who could not poll trump well during any

of thinks election cycles coming out suddenly saying what his approval rating is you get someone like harris, which mark is involved with or insider trafalgar. were likely to get his approval right. approval rating is somewhere between 6 and 10 points above. in other words, a plus 10 or more. whereas these media groups trying to say he is down 3 or is he down 4. that is just not born out by the facts i have seen or the numbers i have seen or numbers i have seen from other pollsters that i really respect. i think the trump team knows this is coming. they know there is going to be this big play of saying he is suddenly becoming unpopular. they are going to try to drive a wedge between him and elon. it's not working. >> laura: mark, van jones is trying his best to drive a wedge between trump and elon musk. so, this was kind of an interesting moment. watch.

>> you want to leave somebody doing theatrics and abanning own children and weird fantasy to be popular just do whatever he wants to do with no oversight, that is anti-american. and it's reckless and it's wrong. >> laura: okay. explain that one for me, mark? the guy is volunteering his services. >> well, i really don't understand the democratic strategy, frankly, of going after musk. there is overwhelming support for cutting government spending, overwhelming -- you are talking 70% plus numbers saying that waste, fraud, and abuse now, musk himself has about an even personal rating but the mission that he's on is really seen as one that america needs to do. >> laura: matt, do you agree with that? musk is popular, correct? >> yeah. here's the thing.

a lot of the polls have asked the question, do you think elon musk should have a great deal of influence in the white house that's not the question to ask. the question is do you approve offer disapprove of what he has done so far. when you ask that question he is up by 5 or 6 points among republicans musk is not a problem for donald trump right now. and the show they are putting on right now isn't working. >> people aren't -- enjoying the right. >> it's like christmas morning every day i will say it everyday. matt and mark,both of you, thanks so much. when we come back, democrats may lose young men voters for generation, certainly after what v.p. vance just said. my angle explains it, next. ♪

little bit less clear to me and certainly i think to many of the citizens of europe, is what exactly it is that you are defending yourselves for. >> it was a seismic message felt around the world and a much needed wake-up call for our allies one of the best things about vance is how he schools these impotent news anchors who usually take the side of foreigners over americans. >> in fact, we know that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted and then were literally planning terrorist attacks on our country that happened during the campaign if you remember. clearly not all these foreign nationals have been properly vetted. >> four thousand in the pipeline. >> my concern as the vice president is to look after the american people. now that we. >> so no? >> laura: masterful on policy yeah, of course he is. but vance's cultural message is just as important. >> my message to young men is i

think that our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge. you should -- you should try to cast aside your family, you should try to suppress makes you a young man in the first place. and i think that my message to young men is don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person pause you are a man. you like to tell a joke. because you like to have a beer with your friends or because you are competitive. >> laura: also very important in a vice president, of course, he never forgets who is in the driver's seat. >> got the best sense of humor of any american political figure but i think this is why young men in particular are so -- you know, they are so inspired by president trump is because he doesn't allow the media to tell him he can't make a joke or he can't have an original thought. president trump just says what's on his mind.

that's a damn good thing and a good example to set for young men in american culture. >> laura: and he's right, of course. he's right. the young men love trump. men ages 18 to 29 voted for trump by a 14-point margin. "the washington post" notes that it's the first time the g.o.p. presidential candidate claimed an outright majority of the group since 188. but why do republicans of the past struggle with this group? well, first of all, we all know big media, sometimes at the urging of government officials always stepped in to help the democrats. >> the biden administration did more to destroy free speech not just in the united states but also in europe than any administration in american history. >> again, is he relentless, is he always on the offensive. he is reminding americans about why cutting wasteful spending is critical for our economic survival. >> the third thing that he has

tried to do, of course, with the help of elon and all the great folks at doge is ask what are we doing with all of the american taxpayers' money and why are we wasting so much of it on garbage that the american people either aren't aware that we are spending it on or don't want to be spending it on. >> laura: 100 percent right. it's very effective. when you watch these clips. you watch entire speech, when you should, you understand why trump picked him in the first place, again, the genius of donald trump. he was excoriated for picking vance as you recall. so far the maga base, they couldn't be happier. and they are so happy that vance is already shaping up to be the run away choice of the maga supporters to be trump's successor. the "new york times" today is reporting on the quote quieter efforts that are underway to position the vice president vance as mr. trump's eventual successor roads some of the

legislative battles over mr. trump's agenda. the administration's chief lobbyists also assigned to help oversee the potential sale of tiktok. well, one thing is clear. they are definitely not treating him like biden's people treated kamala in the first few years. after thought. she couldn't get arrested. where's kamala? his brain power is just beyond dispute. a and the caliber of people surrounding trump in general in promoting j.d. vance and other populist millennial being competent enough to do that, president trump is not making the mistake of reagan who, remember, did not leave the party in the greatest of hands. trump is deciding, at least for now, that he's going to leave this maga coalition in great hands one that's going to be around for decades to come.

let's talk about taxpayers, too. taxpayers and community members deserve to know where their money is going. what it is funding and if their law enforcement is doing their job. in these cases you have all of these shelters that lack the rigorous background checks. that are experiencing these alleged crimes. and taxpayers are paying over a billion dollars to fund these. really this has been utter mismanagement and i really hope we get more transparency out of the governor. >> laura: what i can't believe is that people keep voting for this. i'm a broken record on new england. how do people keep voting for these policies and thee leaders? is there any hope for new england at this point, karine? other states have awakened. how about new england? how about massachusetts. >> look, there is certainly a lack of accountability that comes when there is under one party rule. the state republican party is making modest gains and even look at the last presidential election. trump didn't win but president

are dealing with donald trump and now this is not the budget administration. what he did today made it abundantly clear we are treating this seriously and it sends a strong message. a couple things you know that will be done with this, wand, people helping these cartels in any way can be charged with material support so criminal charges. this will also cut them down from banking and things like that because banks can face sanctions and money can be frozen. two ways to get at the cartels but i think mexico really ought to rethink their position and i know it is probably a tricky position because drug cartels have so much control of there but they need to really cooperate because donald trump is taking this seriously, putting the lives of americans a first, public safety national security ahead of the drug cartels and the open border with biden and all the stuff going on before. >> on a scale of one to 10, 10 being the most likely, that the trump administration could use

the military drones to take out some of these fentanyl labs in the united states? without a doubt that their products are killing americans. i have friends whose children have died from an accidental fentanyl intake thinking it was something else. it sounds like that is what this where this administration could lean. unless we saw something miraculous from mexico. >> i think they will be going after these labs and things like that because just remember during the cocaine you know when cocaine was a big problem then it is now we were going after the cocaine fields and a spraying, you know, things to kill cocaine. the cocoa. with or without the cooperation with mexico. 70,000 people are dying a year from fentanyl. hundred thousand a year from drugs overall.

400,000 people under the budget administration he is going after the labs, is going after china and this has to stop. going on too long and going on with no resistance or from the previous administration. out of troop a serious they have to get with the program. >> jesse: -- >> jonathan. >> my guess is they are getting with the program. >> why wouldn't mexico declare these cartels terrorist a link at the very least? what are they afraid of a? >> they are afraid of the cartels because the cartels have so much power and influence in the country. probably more powerful and the government or at least equally as powerful. they are afraid to harm the cartels because the cartels make so much money. making so much money under the barge and administration. one quick point when donald trump is done just in the first few weeks jumping -- with the number of border crossers those border crossers are paid

seven, $9000 per head from these cartels coming over. i think the mexican government is in a tough situation but i think they better come out on donald trump side because he is not your take on this issue he will fight for the american people, fight for public health and i don't think this will end well for them if they don't want to cooperate. >> those fentanyl cookers a better look up because they might be and it was something very unpleasant. jonathan as always thank you so much for joining us. what a week another week. another flurry of events in washington and beyond and we were there to cover all of it for you. that is it for us tonight to make sure to follow me on social media all weekend it longer. a lot posted tonight and tomorrow night. thank you for watching remember it is america now and forever. jesse watters takes it off from here. >> jesse: welcome to jesse watters prime time. tonight!
