i think it worked out that way. >> laura: it did. >> i had faith in lara trump they did a great job. faith in the american people they would stand up and take their country back they did. >> laura: ted cruz big victory for him. you and governor abbott a big part in this. congratulations. just ahead, the people voted against lawfare, what happens to the cases against trump and what are democrats planning next, coming up ♪ >> i think there is, again, a 50-50ish chance judge merchan probation sentence. even if the judge does hold this on november 26th and even if the judge says i hereby sentence you to x in prison, donald trump is not going to serve that time while is he in transition as he is now or certainly while he is president. >> laura: well certainly while is he president. leaving open the possibility that, you know, say they are wanting this, they are salivating over this that somehow the statute of limitations for these absurd in these absurd cases is paused and then trump goes off in an orange jumpsuit after he has a successful second term? this is insanity. joining me now chri

we will make america safe, , prosperous, free again.e it >> laura: trump's message lastst night was powerful it was powerful because it wasts c straightforward. and yes, even for trump, it was humble. democrats claim they want unity an d we need to be unified and nice to each other. so they shouldvict appreciate trump's victory speech. >> it is time to put the u divisions of the past four years behind us. it unite is time to unite. for success is going to bring ur together. we are going to start my openinf america first. we have to put our country firss for at least a period of time and we have to fix it. together, we can truly make america great again for all americans. >> laura: for all of america,n' even if you didn't vote for him. and who doesn't want america to be great again?drea i never understood that a position. the left. wants us to downsize our agreement the globalists on. is to do what we are told in china.ilur so harris figurehead installedrd by bigwigs who called the shots. she reads what they tell her toa read. and a few hours ago, kamala harris read a concession speech that w

nobody understands the american first agenda better than laura trump. she's a great mother, a very sharp young lady. i would love to have her as a colleague. that would be up to governor desantis. but we could not do better. on the republican side than laura trump. no, i tend to agree with you. i hope you heard my opening monologue. and i mean what i say. after all, the donald trump has been through and the weaponization of our doj and it's so sad to me that great agencies like the fbi and the cia have been so politicized the way they've been. anybody that is not in favor of restoring those agencies and those to their former greatness, and those departments to their former greatness, to me, would be disqualifying. let's get to the issue. and that is, you know, the hysteria on the left about matt gaetz. and matt has been in the forefront with jim jordan of fighting against weaponization. does he not deserve a chance to be heard? well, not only does he deserve a chance to be heard, every president deserves a chance to pick their cabinet. elections do matt

look -- >> laura: trump, the fighter, trump the pragmatist.he peacemaker. >> i will end the war in ukraine which would have never started if i was president. [cheers] and i will stop the chaos in the middle east. >> laura: and, of course, trump the people generator. he makes politics fun again. and shouldn't we start taking that whole pursuit of happiness thing seriously at this point? i think sometimes as conservatives and it's true. we are always on the lookout for the traps. the obstacles, the challenges, the potholes. the landmines. but, this should be a time for hope. we have achieved a amazing victories this year. victories that few predicted in january 2021, not even i, and now we have an incredible opportunity, the best in decades. to build a better world for our children and our grandchildren. and expand this coalition to all 50 states. and speaking of kids, i am really thankful for my children. marie, dmitry and ricco. teenagers dry me crazy, of course whanks would life be without that kind of crazy. and i'm grateful for you, the vie

we will make america safe, strong, prosperous, powerful and free again. >> laura: trump's message last just powerful. it was powerful because it was straightforward and, yes, even for trump, it was humble. so democrats claim and they have claimed oh, they want unity, we all need to be unified and nice to each other. so they should have appreciated trump's victory speech. >> it's time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us. it's time to unite. the success is going to bring us together and we are going to start by all putting america first. we have to put our country first for at least a period of time. we have to fix it. [applause] because, together we can truly make america great again for all americans. >> laura: for all of america, even if you didn't vote for him. who doesn't want america to be great again. i never understood the opposition to that idea. the left wants us to down size our dreams. and the globalists want us to do as we are told. to shut up. so harris was simply a figure head of failure. installed by party big wigs who called all the shots. she reads wha

and see cochair laura trump and i discussed how the gop can now broaden its coalition. know you are thinking, i just got finished with this brace. and tim graham is already pushing me on 2028. but it is a complement to you because of the great success the party had in growing its base and beyond to all of these demographic groups and sometimes they had been written off by republicans to be perfectly candid. so how does the project plan on taking the success and blowing it out to really, really go after some of these blue states? >> yes, give us an hour, a lower. oh, my gosh. just finish this one. [laughs] i agree with your question, we've always had to be forward thinking if we're going to win. and that is why donald trump won this election. he did go he did go communicator, the south bronx. that early in the epic and it really caught the democrats of god. and he did go to other places. now, you he did not go to every blue city in america. that he would allow places. he showed up in atlanta but he showed up in detroit. he went into these places because he believes that

to speak of the message sends is really important that even the d should be and will be. >> laura: trump's aids and allies were forced to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. people's lives were turned upside down. then it was, who will turn on trump first? who will take a plea deal and give up the goods? all the speculating was so stupid! let's not forget following his motorcade in manhattan to the courthouse. what about fingerprints? what about the mug shots? >> everything you will see live on tv and there will be mug shots and fingerprints. >> donald trump will be fingerprinted and he will be photographed and end up with a mug shot. >> a picture will live in infamy, the first mug shot of american presidents splashed across the front pages this morning. >> laura: of course, he turned that into a coup for himself because he smarted and then back. what about the taxpayers dollars spent on this? we will never get it back and we will never know how much was spent. "newsweek" estimate of $50 million spent by jack jack smith's team. that is no stress to meet. what we saw was a

>> i'm grateful forbu donald trump's -- 's. >> laura: a better earpiece. >> i'm thankful fore donald tical courage. a normal humanun beingde would t collapseted under the lawfare ad multiple assassination attemptsr anpod constant hoaxes and collisions and nonstop attackssw from corporate propaganda has. the man, the courage he hasur shown us his singular moment in american history to turn this ship around. you can see the optimism in thee polls where 60% approved of his transition because they realizey they now have a president-elect who actually wants to prioritize the american people.e de no more bad trade deals are selling us outling on immigratin and destroying the country through systematic illegal immigration. not wasting us on bad economic policies crushing the average american's.er and heic is giving people hope. that is a powerful thing in life biliwhere people have optimism n the ld to dream and better days ahead to.so and i think this message hasna s resonated with the american people because they realize the tomessage for me for trump's decline as a choice we choose to be

i was the first one, if you were there, to do the trump dance, baby. >> laura: did i see it. >> now it'sg on. everybody is dancing like trump because we got america back. we got a second chance. we have repented to our lord and safer, he is healing the land and we are back, jack. >> laura: impulse before was to kind of keep it hidden and i'm not a big fan of like sports and politics and entertainment but i like kind of keeping them separate. but, if you are going to embrace kaepernick and end racism in the end zone. i think a lot of these football players if anyone can end racism or make progress to it it's probably trump. >> well, it's kind of funny, everything they speak where they are speaking from is who they really are. if you listen to everything they say misogynist, racist. all that stuff is who they really are at the end of the day, i was one of the biggest cowards around. i voted for trump before. i was afraid to wear the hat. i was afraid of the bumper sticker. when they tried to kill him i said that's it, enough is enough guess what in the whole united states of america feels

laura: trump's campaign tried to defend the remark, claiming the former, who regularly calls reportersmy of the people, was actually looking out for the press. despite running well behind harris with women voters, trump laughed when a supporter of his compared the vice president to a sex worker. >> she's a significant liar. when you live about something so simple, so -- she never worked there. i did a little bit. laura: this weekend, trump appeared to endorse a proposal to remove fluoride from public water utilities, an idea floated by robert f. kennedy, jr. who frequently spreads public-health conspiracy theories. in the final stretch, trump has repeatedly said he would put kennedy in charge of health policy if he wins. >> we have a mess on our hands. we've got a bunch of cheaters that all they do is think about how they can cheat. laura: as trump lays the groundwork to call the election stolen with baseless claims of cheating, harris's warning voters that trump may prematurely claim victory election night. like he did in 2020. >> i would ask, in particular, people who have not yet vo

why are so many athletes thrilled, it seems, by trump's win? >> lauraraham, still s got y trump pump on and let me mark m territory. i was thdoe first one if you weu therrae to do the "trump dance," baby. i did see you. b >> went to madison square garden and now it's catching on. we got america back. we got a second chance. we repented to our lord and savior. he sealing the lamp, and we are back, jack. >> laura: i think that impulse was to keep it healing and i'm not a big fan of sports and tepolitics and entertainment bui like to keep them separate. but if you are going to embrace colin kaepernick and race in the end zone, i think ers a lot of football players think if we can't end racism, it is probabli trump. >> it is kind of funny. every thing they speak comes from the heart and when it comes from their tunnel, and they are speaking is who they really areu think they say misogynist, racist, that is who they really are here to buy the at the endte of the day i was one of the biggest cowardraids around and d for trump before and afraid toi wear that a

the senate republican majority is donald trump's republican majority. >> laura: they would not be in the majority if it were not for trump, correct? >> he is the reason we have a majority. it is because of donald trump. i fully expect the snearnghts to do their job, look to the law, all the people that get put up. but they are going to make sure that donald trump's agenda passes. because it is the trump agenda that the american people overwhelmingly wants. it is a political mandate. it is not for the senators to decide what will they want to have happen. it's the will of the voters through donald trump. that's what needs to happen. >> laura: this is going to be fascinating to see how this all plays out congressman, thank you both. >> direct taxation or spending, either becomes inflation or direct tagsization. your money something wasted and the department of government efficiency is going to fix that. [cheers and applause] we are going to get the government off your back and out of your pocketbook. this is going to be great. america is going to reach heights that had has never seen be

we will make america safe, strong, prosperous, powerful, in free again. >> laura: trump's message lastas powerful, and it was powerful because it wasor straightforward to. and yes, even for trump, it waso humble. democrats claim they want unitya we need to be unified and nice to each other. so they should have appreciated trump's' victory speech. >> it is time to put the divisions of thebehi past four s behind us and it's time to unite the successes going to bring us together. we are going to start by all putting america first appeared to be have to pufit our countryl first for at least aea period of time, we have to fix it. t to gather we can truly make america great again and for all americans. >> laura: for all america, even if you didn't vote for him. he doesn't want america to be great again? i never understood that opposition to that idea. the left wants us to downsized our dreams in the globalisthtas quantities to what we are toldai and shut up.d by so kamala is figurehead ofca failure failure in bigwigs who called the shots. she reads what they tell hers e read. in a few hours

>> you know, laura trump launched a women for trump to her definitely a month ago maybe two months agofirst events. this is not something new or in response to the derogatory comments that mark cuban made. what is comments highlighted was really the mindset that i experience when i was part of the democratic party when i was still vice chair of the dnc. they are all about having the first woman president. one that will toe the line and spat there democratic elite talking points to be the candidate that kamala harris is that hilary clinton was. the idea that we had all of those women on that stage last night, all different backgrounds , different people accomplish in different ways coming together because we love our country and we recognize the serious threats to our freedom and ability to live in a freedom and prosperous society here in america. >> what do you say to the idea, i know you said that he started a while ago, the first one we could find was october 24 in terms of this trump team. i know that there were town halls that you cohosted. doing that a while before that. is it som

> tonight there is a not-so-subtle pressure campaign happening for the florida governor to name laura trump marco rubio's senate seat. trump has still not officially named rubio secretary of state that we reported last night he is likely to do so but that has not stopped trump allies from publicly floating his daughter in law in the rnc cochair's name. today republican senator katie britt told actio's she thought laura would be a tremendous pick. we heard from anna paulino luna and a short time ago elon musk weighed in saying he thought she was generally great. my political source joins me tonight. gretchen carlson was supposed to join us but we are being joined by senior correspondent for pop, it is great to have you here, on this push we are seeing for this we are told resources that ron is aware of the pressure campaign trying to force his hand. what is your sense of how this started and whether or not we could see this happen? >> it is interesting because i was told from my source that ron found out this morning when he woke up in rome that rubio was the lead contender to be secretary o

i'm laura ingraham ingraham angle from washington. trump continuing to fill out his cabinet at lightning speed tapping harold lutnick to be treasury secretary. he has been a major backer of trump and friend of his for many years and serving as the co-chair of his transition team. also getting a role in the new administration, none other than dr. mehmet oz. trump has nominated him to be the centers for medicare and medicaid services chief working closely with r.f.k. jr. we're going to bring you more as it comes in tonight. but, first, the revenge of the swamp monsters. yeah. that's the focus of tonight's angle. >> laura: an historic win, a popular vote victory has trump world and hardworking americans they are in a great mood. we all want to believe that the mandate is undeniable. trump and vance? they are hard-charging cabinet nominees? elon musk? and a republican house and senate, how could the goal of transforming government not be reached? well, before trump has the opportunity to really drain the swamp, the swamp monsters will fight for

laura trump, great to see you as always. thank you. all right. s we count down to the beginning of donald trump's second term, political observers are starting to wonder what is next for joe biden and kamala harris. kamala has spent the last several days in hawaii, where she has reportedly been on the phone considering her own political future. two options, apparently, according to reports, have emerged, she can either try and run for president again in 2028 or mount a bid for california governor in 2026. for his part, biden continues to blunder through his remaining public events. you decide. take a look. according to experts, peach weighs 41 pounds and loves to eat hot dish and tater tot tater tots and cross country skis. you know, dreams to see what the real dream he has is to see the northern lights, i'm told. good evening everyone. good evening, good evening, good evening. if you have a seat, please take it. but don't jump in the pool. no, i was wrong the whole time. he's. he is cognitively as sharp as he's ever been. no. anyway, with hunter

color areas, cities, metro areas with the largest hispanic population that is where trump made his big game there. >> laura: it is not surprising, democrats licking their wounds still postmortem g biden, they are blaming racism, they are blaming staffing, and their favorite catchall misinformation, elon musk the holy grail. trump's record on economy, border, was phenomenal in aller harris had worked with chase and party b coach at that is pretty good. of course they had he is aa fascist. for years "the angle" urge g.o.p. nominees to0 st adopt 50a state strategy. did several angles devoted to this and trump did this incredibly smart.g even political foes acknowledging it pai d off big whi time. >> trump improved not just his numbers in the battleground, which we were talking aboutov edelection night 3-4 points but also improved our cities andstat improved outer suburbs. trump ran 50-state strategy the democrats used to talk about. >> laura: trump has not been sworn into office, and we already see the positive impact is having for america spiritually sell the stockd market soaring postelection periods and bi

and i think it was a refreshing view of trump. lauraoung men who often listen to podcasts and get their news from social media was a deliberate effort by the trump campaign, says gop digital strategist eric wilson. eric wilson, gop digital strategist: they had a theory that if you watch cable news, whatever end of the political spectrum you're on, you already had your mind made up about the candidates and who you were going to vote for. they went out to these platforms where people might not be as engaged in news and current events to tell them about the election, tell them about the candidate. laura: a recent study from the pew research center found that about four in 10 voters under 30 regularly t their news from content creators. jeremiah johnson, center for new liberalism: the republican party and the trump campaign put in the effort in this space. they put in the effort, and, frankly, the democrats did not. laura: jeremiah johnson is the co-founder of the center for new liberalism, an organization that advocates for center-left pol

laura: maybe try to rebrand it. joining me now congressman byron donalds. i know you have been president trump. ennsylvania tonight. what are you seeing on the ground. the momentum is moving >> laura the momentum is moving towards donald trump in all over pennsylvania. the energy is more than 2016. i will tell you that. people are so excited. they can't wait to get to the polls. so many of them have already voted. you won't keep them from the polls tomorrow. >> byron, again, these kind of -- seem to me very inflated and perhaps fake stories about, well, if camera's feeling like they have -- kamala's feeling like they have it in the bag or they're cautiously optimistic, they're not mentioning trump by name. these always seem to be curated and highly choreographed stories to perhaps suppress do republicn turnout. what would you say. >> jesse: >> i'd tell them not to worry about the stories. they will make the story tomorrow when they make donald trump the 47th president of the united states. number two, the big issue for kamala harris and the democrats is that minority turnout is down in early vot

laura: how about u.s. steel? $14.4 billion in japan, these are the types of thing president trump gets mp exec gets. ary. >> laura: our industrial base. >> and american jobs. speed when we knew that before world war ii and we didn't have the ability to ramp up manufacturing base, we would have never won world war i and everyone should know that. we are woefully unprepared on that score, or may not? >> we are in it is important the platform president trump ran on its reindustrialization number two priority and absolutely right. that will take some time but in the meantime, the threats are imminent. the resources we do have, the acute conscious of pete hegseth has intention to veterans, possibility people will be put into combat. i don't think there is any kind of message would bring and president trump has run on that we should take the service members live seriously and not throw them away on these. >> laura: congressman, not to keep going after milley here, but that testimony when he was talking about the conversations with the chinese before the election in 2020, it was all copacetic and we were re

speak of the president trump with democracy. >> laura: if trump really had impulses, it would be kind of odd for biden to invite him to visit the white house tomorrow, right? of course, that is why this was always a vicious and desperate life or two but still, the propaganda did have some effect. according to ap poll has said speech reporter said the most important factor for the boats and apparently groceries did not matter in 9 out of 10 concerned trump would bring closer to authoritarianism some in all based on lies. trump never use the doj to attack his political opponents spiritually never pled of the country with illegal immigrants to wipe out your vote for fight against requiring ids which compromises our diplomatic system. which is why it should not surprise anyone that the same word on the voter one in three trump voter sighting saving democracy as they are a primary vote motivator. of those eight and ten of the chomp voters felt electing harris would bring the closer closer to authoritarianism, how interesting! and get an own record and well documented views, those years wer

so laura trump had endorsed scott, but the president-elect did not. >> that's right. but a lot of the maga verse came out for rick scott. he got eliminated on the first ballot. he only got 30 votes. he ran against mitch mcconnell two years ago and got ten votes. it shows if you are a united states senator, you are a little more interested in your own well being than what the online chatter in trump world is. so this is definitely going to be an interesting relationship. john thune is not a trump republican by background. he is much more of a traditional gop. he is close ally of mitch mcconnell. and a lot of ways the continuation of the current leadership already a member of leadership of course. so i will be very interested to see how this relationship with the president goes, going forward. and it is not a great place to start for him frankly. when you have elon musk and tucker carlson and laura trump all sort of going after, or at least supporting your opponent. in the case of elon musk criticizing john thune. he said john thune was democrats' favorite senator. that

president trump as they arane bk and why he has earned their trust and confidence. >> laura: tulsi, iu not answer this but i will ask it anyway. we'll be see youpes se perhaps e administration? >> that is a question only president trump can answer. >> laura: will you take, youo know, lower-level job special assistance to secretary at t hhe or something like that? i' m just teasing because hemen. doesn't like strong, intelligent women.n jo >> exactly, clearly,aigh congratulations to susie wiles. she isoote fantastic and i enjoe working with her. she is a straight shooter and i'm looking forward to seeing her as chief staff. >> laura: a source was quoted saying i don't show is basicallt not going to have access to the oval office, essentially i'm paraphrasing. the words "ground show" is used. is that a good thing!ks >> you know, she works well with president trump. i think she is of great credit to winning this campaign and bein ablg able to make sure thae train did not go off at the rails. i think she will do a fantastic job as white house chief of staff. president tom seeks counsel fr

colonel, your reaction to hegseth being named as trump's meningioma chief tonight? >> i got to tell you, laurai was almost shocked because that's not a name anyone had been passing around talking about being in the running because it's oncology conventional i'm hoping trump picked him because he is one that wants a strong military but wants to keep us out of stupid wars and not getting into any new ones. i'm really hopeful and optimistic that's what he can bring to the table. >> laura: the big challenge for this country right now comes from china. even though they have economic issues and problems think have population implosion in china, they still are the most serious adversary in the globe. there is no doubt about it. we're going to have to balance our need to keep the military keep pace with china and at the same time rebuild our economy back home with manufacturing, new jobs, that trump also plans to do reagan had to do this rebuild the military and rebuild the economy. he didn't have $36 trillion in debt bearing down on him he did have horrific inflation and a country in malaise. this is

trump: ymca is the best. lauraemocrats have catching up to do in an emerging space that has already shown its power to turn out voters. the pbs news hour, i'm laura baran lopez. -- laura barron-lopez. william: as the major federal felony cases against him get dropped, president-elect trump is rapidly filling up his cabinet. for that and more, we turn to our politics monday duo. that's amy walter of the cook political report with amy walter, and tamara keith of npr. so nice to see you both and your fabulous color coordination, or not coordination. >> we did not coordinate at all, but it works. william: tam, this news today -- we knew this was going to happen, but the felony charges against donald trump have gone away. this die was cast on the night of the election. there was all this considerable evidence that will now never be heard by any jury. what do you make of all that? tamara: this is a validation of the legal plan that trump's team had. they were running out the clock. they had been running out the clock sin

desantis also has a senate seat to dole out with marco rubio tapped for secretary of state, with laura trumpshe would be honored to serve as our resident florida man. what do you think happens with the senate? >> first, on behalf of the state of florida, let me apologize for being so relevant to our national politics right now. look, the question about should marco rubio be confirmed for secretary of state, and who does ron desantis appoint? it really comes down to what ron desantis sees as his future in politics. he is a lame-duck governor, out in 26. does he want to secure a senate seat for himself? because if so, he had said to his chief of staff, perhaps like charlie crist did about 10 years ago, to his chief of staff, and effort that failed on behalf of charlie crist. or does he intend to run for president, so he needs to placate the president and donald trump, and indeed, appoint laura trump? florida has only had one female senator in its history, so the opportunity for representation here is good. there's actually a sitting congresswoman from orlando, laura lee, who served with ron de

trump in california. his way of thinking, they haven't gotten me yet. and i still have a lifespan. >> laura happens in 2028 with old gav. we will be seeing a lot of him over the next four years. victor, thank you. a bombshell revelation proving trump was right about fema, the details, next. ♪ have you ever thought of getting a walk-in tub for you or someone you love? now is a great time to take a look at getting a safe step walk-in tub. with safe step's standard heated seat and new fast fill faucet, you can enjoy a nice warm bath up to 20% faster! safe step walk-in tubs are built to maximize safety. so you can stay in your home and enjoy the comforts of bathing again. call now to receive a free shower package plus $1,600 off! this is franklin graham. the southern part of the united states got hit by terrific storms this fall. so many people have been hurt. we all go through storms in life. it may be a marriage. it may be our children. it may be our health, cancer. do you have an anchor to hang on to as you go through these storms? i do, and that's jesus christ. 50 years ago, i gave my life

trump doesn't have the mandate. >> laura: this from the party that thought calling trump a fascist was a brilliant campaign strategy. well, here's the bottom line, we won, they lost. the american people don't want joe biden making any significant policy decisions now. plus, we saw the video tape. we know he is not the one making any of these modes. the man can't even stay in a photo shoot at the g20. window president trump is going to stand up for himself and his priorities here are typically also need republicans on both sides of capitol hill doing their part to prevent schumer and jeffries from hamstringing him until he's back in office. then the swamp monsters will be the ones running for cover. and that is "the angle." beyond the swamp, liberals still want trump to worry about a prison sentence go to manhattan d.a. bragg is requesting a stay and trump's sentencing and the hush money case until after he leaves office, yeah, 2029. joining us now john turn jonathan turley and fox news contributor. jonathan, they want is hanging over trump. where is judge merchan ultimately going to la

the first trump term and they want to do it again this time. >> laura: david, the issue of weaponization of government has been a mainstay for the last really nine years, but especially the last four years. she has spoken repeatedly about this. i don't care what anybody is saying about the popular vote margin, he has a mandate to put an end to the weaponization of government against the people and against the politicall opponents.es i think we will see real changes with her. >> laura, i could not agree with you more. i said this earlier today one wa radio, i think a major part of this vote was a rejection of this lawfare weaponization. the american are fair-minded people who will want a justice system that reflects integrity, not targeting political opponents to get them out of the election. other than the ballot. we need a return to normalcy here. this is the mostat i politicized department of justice that'sxamp coming from judge garland. he tried to invoke privilege, for example onto robert hur biden tape, that is outrageous to do that and everything is politicized. i want to tell you

trump in "the new york times" poll 37% and that is rising among hispanics. >> laura: latinos will ending, small business owners but. but raymond back to harrison ford. i would much rather hear from chewbacca tonight, okay then harrison ford. hq we would be for trump because he was the coolest of all. may be c-3po. >> we will give you a report tomorrow. >> laura: thank you, thank youe very much. that is it for us and everybody asking -- asking about the apple pie because i am in baking mode and always sam election season. check it out and instagram and thank you for watching

on the plans for senate seat, i do recall that laura trump was originally from north carolina and thereat there, which did not materialize and donald trump installed her as a co-chair of the republican national committee where she worked in the 2024 cycle, so she built of credentials there. when it comes to donald trump who approaches government like a family business, we saw how he his daughter and son-in-law on staff where there were charges of nepotism at that time, too, but he went ahead with that, because those with interested people around him. comfort and loyalty are part of the mix. >> thank you for that. so much to talk about about your home state. >> oh my word. >> she and yvonne laura trump, so let me ask you about that. is there pressure on the governor? >> absolutely. >> there are people out there who we are told are wrangling a lot of political insight and the national audience might not know. >> there is a lot of qualified people are ron desantis and a good reach, too. it would be an embarrassing day for the state of florida avenue ron desantis appoints the north carolina

they did that during the first trump term and want to do it again this time. >> laura: david, the issue of the weaponization of government, has been a main stay for the last really nine years. but, especially over the last four years she has spoken repeatedly about this. i think donald trump -- i don't care what anyone is saying about the popular vote margin, he has a mandate to put an end to the weaponization of government against the people and against your political opponents ily did think we will see real changes with her. >> laura, i couldn't agree with you more i said this earlier today on hannity radio. a major part of this vote was a rejection of this lawfare weapons. the american people are fair minded people who want a justice system that reflects integrity. not targeting political opponents to get them out of the election. to use some means other than the ballot. we need a return-to-normalcy here. this has been the most politicized department of justice that i have ever seen. and that is shocking coming from judge garland. but when he tried to invoke privilege, for example, o

trump should be charged with insurrection. that was even too much for jack smith. >> laura: even though the case is dismissed. smith we're noting here could still try to damage trump with this speaking of your buddy. >> there are definitely will be a report because the special counsel rules require jack smith to write a report. there is also a report that initially is given by the special counsel to the attorney general, in this case merrick garland, in secret. the special counsel has no power himself to make it public but merrick garland does. >> laura: david, could, at this point, jack smith be spiteful enough to try to file a report and/or leak elements of what would have been a report to try to stick it to trump? >> absolutely. and it's not just jack smith. his team is made up from people from the so-called office of public integrity. j.p. and mollie. i have a sanctions motion going against them lying to a federal judge according to what i have alleged in the meetings. these are people who have had a political agenda all along. issued this superseding indictment after the immunity decision came down. speak

those types of things, i think this trump white house will actually fix it. think about it. >> laura: hold on. >> guy: s we just got new information. new trump pick. he is just nominated russ voto to be the director of the u.s. office of management and budget umv another huge, huge job, trump says he did an excellent job serving in his role in my first term we cut four regulations for every new regulations and it was a great success, alex marlow, that is a great trump has mostly new faces in. but i think it's very important to have some experience in that white house with the way washington works. you can't beat experience obviously if it's incompetent experience you don't want it but he did a terrific job last time and trump is very comfortable with him. >> yeah, this is one of these things picking people who want to deregulate. open up the united states for business to make it so the whole world comes to do business i have to chime in on the soros point about bessent. he worked for soros political outfits. he made money with soros. and opportunity to stand up against soros in some

only person in the race that i trust to do what needs to be done on these issues is president trump. lauraiple reports say trump has picked kristi noem, south dakota's republican governor for the job. like rubio, noem stumped for trump on the campaign trail and was herself an early contender to be his running mate. noem has echoed trump's anti-immigration rhetoric and she, along with trump's so-called border czar, will be critical to fulfilling a top campaign promise, mass deportations, on day one. tom homan, the former acting director of immigration and customs enforcement, or i.c.e. will step into that role. on fox news last night, he sent a stark message to all undocumented immigrants. >> if you're in the country illegally, you shouldn't feel comfortable, absolutely not. when you enter this country illegally, you have committed a crime, you are a criminal and you're not off the table. laura: one by one, the positions are filling out but still, the house of representatives hangs in the balance with more than a dozen races too close to call. >> we have an embarrassment of riches. laura: s

trump has been right about a key issue. this is good, and it is next. ♪ ♪ >> laura: i know you are so.ying this beca >> laura: i know you areg this because you are telling me so coach about liberals post more election failures continues. trump support group even in the bluest of blue cities. so why? some liberals are beginning to wake up. speak with the thing thaabout surprised me least about the election was the sharp red shift in theselie big cities because if you just talk to anybody who livesat in them, they are furious. o this idea, the economy is actually good with a crime is down, fox news, like shut the [bleep] up with that .sh talk to people who live here ana not just crime, homelesss. encampments, turnstiles in subways and crazy people in the streets, you talk to people and they are mad about it. they feel it is different than lit used to be. >> laura: but will democrat leaders actually listen? dar is there going to be substantive change? willto they work with trump to improve the lives of their own citizens or worried about givini him political benefit from that? joining the aurora councilwoman, daniel dolinsky,

dropping the federal election interference and classified documents cases against president-elect trump. laurarett has late details. >> reporter: tonight in a striking move, the justice department abandoning the federal criminal charges that had loomed over now-president-elect trump in washington and florida for more than a year. special counsel jack smith saying his decision does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the government's proof, or the merits of the prosecution. but the doj has a longstanding policy against prosecuting a sitting president and the department believes the constitution requires dismissing the cases before the defendant is inaugurated. the judge in washington signing off on that today. the move by smith, while expected, a notable defeat after launching a pair of historic cases, a first of its kind against a former president. >> we have one set of laws in this country and they apply to everyone. >> reporter: the trump team calling today's dismissals a major victory for the rule of law as the president-elect made his criminal exposure a centerpi

perpetually frowning cheney. >> i'm going to do everything i can to work against trump represents is in many ways just cruel. >> laurale who should have stayed in martha's vineyard. >> please do not hand our fates over to the life of trump who knows nothing about us. >> he has not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout we saw when i was running that seems to be more pronounced. >> whoops, and then perhaps the most out of touch group of all, the celebrity set. >> at madison square garden he reminded the us who he is and how he really feels. >> he is going to pass a ban on grocery. >> as he told me that in my face. >> turn up the music ♪ turn down the lights. >> laura: joining me now mary katharine ham alex show mary katharine and we covered a lot there. but i know we are missing some losers. well, i think number one, first, i want to give a shoutout to scott presler because he is so impressive and on the ground doing the hard work and he has got green hair. >> laura: exactly. >> i just want to thank him. special kind of celebrity for us. and for my first on the loser list i would have to say kamala's donors. we

trump. >> all right, laura jarrett, thanks much. >>> let's turn to the trump transition, now that the president-elect has made his cabinet picks. the focus is shifting to potential confirmation battles. gabe gutierrez now with that story. >> reporter: tonight the trump administration is taking shape. just three weeks after his big election win, the president-elect has picked his entire cabinet. now his team gearing up for potential clashes over confirmations. trump's choice for secretary of defense, former fox news host and combat veteran pete hegseth under growing scrutiny. including over his opposition to women in combat. >> he didn't want women in combat, when 18% of our military is made up of women. that really concerns me. >> reporter: hegseth also under scrutiny for a sexual assault allegation in 2017. police investigated, and no charges were filed. he paid a settlement to the accuser last year, his attorney says, to avoid hurting his career. trump's pick for director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard, a former congresswoman and combat veteran, is also facing democratic ba

who else could donald trump nominate to be attorney general? lauraansition team did not comment on who he is considering but sources close to the team say he is back to the drawing board. before nominating matt gaetz a number of republican sources told me that names being considered included matt whitaker who served as acting attorney general in donald trump's first administration. he has since been named ambassador to nato. mike davis, republican lawyer and former senate aide and andrew bailey. amna: i know you are tracking some of the other nominations. what is the latest? laura: donald trump's nominee to lead the department of defense was on capitol hill today with jd vance trying to gain support . this comes right after last night a 22 page report was released detailing a woman saying she was sexually assaulted by hegseth in 2017. and he was asked about the allegations today. >> did you sexually assault a woman in monterey, california? >> as far as the media is concerned, it is simple. i was fully investigated and i was completely cleared. laura:

i love the fact donald trump will be serious about this and brought vivek and you want to this. there are raa couple of things i would add to the article, lauraal question to be answered by the supreme court and trump can trigger this by firing 200,000ra have gs 12 and gs 12 federal thisemployees. the federal unions will fight back and a process to the supreme court. the supreme court askecutid me answer this question, does the r head of the executive branch the duly elected president of the united states have the right to hire and fire whoever he wants in the executive branch for the executive state resides or employees protected by extraconstitutional acts and statutes and regulations? i think this court would rule in favor of donald trump and then for two years, he could become the absolute demolition man form the administration fire who he wants toan and shut down any department he wants to, and completely destroyed the administrative state. i would like to see them do thae they want and donald trump fire hundreds of thousands of them and start.t this proceeding all the way to the name court. >> laura: we knotherw that willm tough on the

laura trump has reacted to this news in an interview with sean hannity saying she would love to serve the people of florida. she has been there for three years but desantis will make the final call. neil: check out the markets, we are still in red ink territory, getting a bit worse, dow is down 270, the nasdaq is down 281. let's look on the positive side. what do you think the trump administration will do for artificial intelligence? is a plus for ai? >> it is a huge plus. president biden created an executive order to regulate ai. one of the themes with the trump presidency is deregulation weather is banks, energy and important for ai and we will see money going into this whether it is the microchip side, nvidia and taiwan semiconductor will do well as taiwan semiconductor is the foundry for these chips. these data centers and nuclear energy stocks are higher. i would not stay in the way. i think ai will lead the way. neil: stuart: do you think the biden administration try to put shackles on ai, trying to reign it in because it might be dangerous, don't know whether they did that are

. >> laura: now everyone knows what trump meant. and it was clear. he wasn't saying she should should be executed or put before a firing squad. a lot of what they used to say about george w. bush and other republicans who hadn't been in combat. but this didn't stop kamala's media troops to snap into action, which is what they did to advance a lie that trump was literally calling for violence. >> he has increased his violent rhetoric. anyone who wants to be president of the united states, who uses that kind of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and unqualified to be president. >> laura: unqualified to be president? those words came out of her mouth? coming from a woman who never won a single primary. that's why she wants people disqualified. she doesn't want to give you a choice. a woman who was such a bad boss that she couldn't keep her staff, what, she lost 90% of them? and can't answer basic policy questions. to this night, she can't do it. oh, but he is unqualified? that's funny. now, with a whole election on the line, the decision to double

laura trump is witp with us, fi have to tip my hat to you, to eric, to your entire family and to the president. you guys left nothing on the field. absolutely, positively nothing. and i know.w. and when you first became rnc co-chair, you came on thero program,mi promising this audiee that you were doing a lot of things. every promise yoy u made, you we able to keep and then some.ke and i'veep got to congratulate t and your team for a job well done, the president for a job well done. it wasiden the most disciplinede campaign by far d i think thaths he's run. >> that's so nice, thank you, shawn. last night was an incredible experience, and no one deserves it more than donald trump. everybody out there knows this man has been through pretty much anything a human being can go through at this point, and i think sometimes back to the famous oprah winfrey interview in the '80s, asking donald trump, would he ever run for president, and he said, only if i felt my country needed me. well, in 2016 this country definitely needed donald trump. but i don't think it has neededh hiinm more than we n

laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" reporting from florida tonight. donald trumpg new moves as he fills out his administration. here's a face you will be seeing pretty often. >> we're going to continue to bring our winning message of bringing down inflation, securing the border. to every corner of this country. >> laura: donald trump tapping karoline left to be his new white house press secretary. karoline is 27. she did a great job as the trump's campaign take on the liberal media in moments. but, first. chaos vs. unity. that's the focus of tonight's angle. democrats can barely keep up by the fast balls. the president continues to fill out cabinet. opted for nominees that he believes can be trusted to you carry out the maga agenda, which of course, terrifies the keepers of the status quo. rick o'sheaing across social media were photos and videos of trump and all his friends partying the night away. >> we are in the presence of a really mythical character. i'm a person high eye crews his is about as high as it gets. >> elon. >> he likes this place. i can't get him

trump's to lose or use for phenomenal achievement. as for the relentless criticism, always consider the source. and that's the angle. >> laurajoining me now is alina habba, trump's senior adviser and attorney. alina, great to have you on tonight. i want to start with matt gaetz. what can you tell us about the process of choosing him to be a.g.? was there a lot of consultation with the hill? did you all bring in speaker of the house or any of the other top republicans? >> well, i'm not part of the transition team and, as you know, laura, i always take my confidentiality incredibly seriously but i will say this. matt gaetz is somebody who has always been on the president's radar, has always been america first, whether the radical left likes it or not. he has been very clear about who he is and despite the bullying, which we have seen time and time again and frankly, laura, i'm shocked they have only waited a couple days for more fear-mongering which you just played for the american people is he making selections on people not going to be bullied. we have seen time and time people career politicians act like republican they tur
