And we certainly know that under Biden and Harris, DEI was enshrined at every level of government. That was a top priority for them. Now recall the rampant speculation when there was a delay in announcing the name of that female Blackhawk pilot who was one of the three crew members tragically lost on that helicopter when it collided with the American regional jet.
Meanwhile, the two male pilots' names were released within just hours of the crash. Okay, I've heard enough.
One of the principals who was on that signal chat, National Security Advisor Mike Walz. Advisor Walz, thank you for joining us tonight. The president expressed complete confidence in you today and his entire cabinet. But how did a Trump-hating editor of The Atlantic end up on your signal chat?
trying to cause trouble here because that's the scuttlebutt out there.
We want to talk about the Atlantic told us. All right. I mean, Jesus Christ.
Sparage and discredit us and our reporting. Follow an obvious playbook by elected officials and others of power who are hostile to journalists and First Amendment rights of all Americans. They're saying don't blame the messenger. Your response to them.
I mean, I think it's just stunning how many people on the team have his 100 percent trust. And there have been enormous successes early on in this administration. But you all are rattling the old cages of the establishment defense and national security embedded people who are still working government. A lot of great people.
But the concern is, is that somebody got involved here who didn't want the president to be successful. And a lot of us are very concerned about that, that someone is in this orbit who doesn't want this president of the United States to be a raging success and turn our foreign policy into an America first approach.
The DNI was very adamant today and very clear that there was no classified information in this text chat. And the Democrats, of course, predictably, they're going to jump on this. But... Would Goldberg should Goldberg just release the other information that he has because he's standing on this? Well, I'm not going to release this information because I have my standards and journalistic standards.
OK, but it's not classified information. So does it matter? Would you would you care if the rest of this information came out?
Oh, I never make those mistakes.
So you're a staffer did not put his contact information. No. But how did it end up?
No, no, no. But how did it end up in your phone? That's what we're trying to figure out. Okay. But that's a pretty big problem. That is what... If there are numbers... That's what we've got the best technical minds, right? That's disturbing. And that's where, I mean... I'm sure everybody out there has had a contact where it was said one person and then a different phone number.
Well, if you have somebody else's contact and then somehow it gets sucked in. Oh, someone sent you that contact. It gets sucked in.
So the person that I thought was on there was never on there. It was. Who was that person? Well, I'm not. Look, Laura, I take I take responsibility. I built the I built the group.
I'm going to say this again. I said it last night, but happy Trump is best Trump. And he's having a great time. He doesn't care about these stupid polls. He's fighting for... Laura Ingraham.
Certainly think that the White House is going to get to the bottom of this issue to understand how Goldberg got into this chat.
Not with USMCA, you finally got them around the edge on that though.
But China cheated on your 2019 agreement. Can I tell you what? Phase one, they totally cheated and dropped it with Biden.
You're tougher with Canada than you are with some of our biggest adversaries.
I want to get to the tariffs in a minute because we're going to first hit the other.
We need their territory. They have territorial advantage. We're not going to let them get close to China.
negotiables mentioned by putin it was reported that i think the kremlin media actually stated that he demanded an immediate cessation of aid to ukraine in order to get to the get to this multi-step deal no he didn't we didn't talk about aid actually we didn't talk about aid at all we talked about a lot of things but aid was never discussed
Are there circumstances where you would defy a court order?
What's your reaction to the court's stepping in to make a statement here. They didn't make a statement when Joe Biden decided to forgive all those student loans.
But do you consider this an act of domestic terror?
district court judges to order a sitting president to reinstate fired employees. You're the chief executive officer of the United States. You order that these agencies be reviewed.
Christmastime is coming. There's going to be no toys for children. Trump is Grinch, and you all are going to get blamed for this. Was the political pressure and the consumer pressure building to an extent that critics are saying forced your hand?
That's OK. He's fine with no deal. So that I like that personally. I think it's great and brilliant. But Wall Street, your old friends hate it. They hate that kind of uncertainty. What do you say to them tonight, given President Trump's comments about, well, we don't have a deal. We don't have a deal. We'll survive.
And there was this issue about an army helicopter in the D.C. flight area and who was flying on it and why it flew in a pattern that forced two commercial airlines to have to reroute and land in another place. Were you able to find out who was who was on that flight and why, given what happened with the 67 people whose lives were lost in a similar situation? Why would that even be happening?
So you still don't know who was on that flight because our Pentagon folks say that it was a training mission, not a VIP. What do you say?
And you don't have any answer from the Pentagon from last night to today on that?
Why should any American kid become a computer scientist?
So you're not worried about any unsavory people coming in and taking it? Yeah, I'm worried about unsavory, in which case we're going to give them the money back and they get out.
It could be a summit in June.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
Why should an American kid become a computer scientist?
So you're not worried about any unsavory people coming in and taking it? Yeah, I'm worried about unsavory, in which case we're going to give them the money back and they get out.
Going down when we're servicing our debt to the tune of about $1.2 trillion a year. And there's still there's still deficit spending in Congress.
You're coming back into office when you walked out of here. Well, I felt that, but I didn't know.
That's where you did the Kavanaugh thing.
...with Canada than you are with some of our biggest adversaries.
We need their territory. They have territorial advantage. We're not going to let them get close to China.
Are you ruling it out?
So what we're living through now is a transition. And this one's good for us. For decades, ours has been an economy driven by government stimulus, a lot of printing and borrowing of money, government spending, government giveaways. And Trump knows our survival, though, requires a return to an economy by private sector productivity, the way it used to be.
That's why the playing field in global trade has got to be leveled.
It's simply absurd to believe that our framers wrote our Constitution to safeguard the rights of non-citizens whose entire goal is to seize power in the United States in order to benefit our enemies.
First, welcome to the show, because you haven't been in studio with me before. Now, is this the first step on the road to a total shutdown?
Good evening, everyone. I'm Laura Ingraham. This is the Ingraham Angle from Washington tonight. Big news for the Crimson, as in the Harvard Crimson. You know, Harvard University's motto is Veritas, truth. And the truth is, tonight, Harvard just lost $2.2 billion, with a B, federal dollars.
For heart of hearts, do you believe that Jay Powell is acting more politically than economically? I won't comment directly on that.
You know, I was thinking about this. I've been in Washington a long time. This is all a sad repeat of what Republicans have been dealing with since around 1987. Yeah, I worked in the Reagan administration in 1987. From the Bork hearings to Iran-Contra to the Russian collusion to the myriad anti-Trump hoaxes, Charlottesville, January 6th. It's one long slash-and-burn campaign.
Democrats didn't really care about any of the underlying issues involving any of those stories. They cared about gaining a political advantage.
So my father was a Nazi sympathizer. There was a copy of Mein Kampf on the living room bookshelf. He was abusive. He was an alcoholic. So we are in a family of anger. That's from Lauren Graham's brother right there.
But now the Trump team has a message to all those here who should not be. You better self-deport now and not return, or you could be on the next flight to El Salvador.
I'm going to say this again. I said it last night, but happy Trump is best Trump. And he's having a great time. He doesn't care about these stupid polls. He's fighting.
Yeah, well, I think when Churchill wanted America to get,
involved in world war two can you imagine him coming over here and kind of insulting you know fdr yeah just strafing the whole oval office that probably would have elon musk doesn't wear suits either we should say and also wears hats and t-shirts in the oval office but that's kind of his he's not asking for money he's volunteering yeah he's volunteering his services
Embarrassed. Adam Kinzinger's embarrassed. Do they realize they're actually hurting their cause by appearing on television? I mean, it's making it harder to get to any type of any positive outcome for Ukraine.
Well, Mr. Secretary, this was something to behold. People say, oh, well, Trump was the aggressor. I mean, Zelensky was coming to get help from the United States, continued help, and he disrespected his host. You just don't do that.
Zelensky was like an annoying gnat. He never shut up in camouflage.
It's in time for your visit here. The Washington Post has a hit piece out on this entire operation. They're basically saying that three of the detainees that were transported out of here last week were, you know, not criminal offenders. They were run-of-the-mill illegal aliens. And they complained of inhumane conditions. They complained of mistreatment, isolation. Your response to that?
An ACLU group is saying that the confinement there is tantamount to solitary confinement, which is against the U.N. rules on how you have to house people like this, because they only get two hours of outside time, outside of their cells. What do you say to that?
Now, Alina, do you think they'll get to that 230,000 employee number to cut? Will they go higher? What's your sense as things stand now?
But a federal judge stopped three Venezuelans from being transported here because apparently, at least temporarily, decided that it wasn't clear why they were being sent here. So clearly, the legal cases are trying to force the administration to give more information, more access to the migrants, more legal rights to the migrants, more access to attorneys, family, calls. That's what they always do.
You know, I was thinking about this. I've been in Washington a long time. This is all a sad repeat of what Republicans have been dealing with since around 1987. Yeah, I worked in the Reagan administration in 1987. From the Bork hearings to Iran-Contra to the Russian collusion to the myriad anti-Trump hoaxes, Charlottesville, January 6th. It's one long slash-and-burn campaign.
Democrats didn't really care about any of the underlying issues involving any of those stories. They cared about gaining a political advantage. I've been around since... Those were all major scandals.
The golden visa, which you also you're obviously backing, probably is going to have to go through Congress. We'll see if they actually do that. But five million dollar investment from a foreigner coming into the United States.
Why should our citizenship be purchased for any amount of money, especially given the fact that you're America first, given the types of people who have $5 million to throw down for a visa or for a permanent residency?
Why should any American kid become a computer scientist?
So you're not worried about any unsavory people coming in and taking it?
They'll be properly vetted.
