ingraham angle" from washington tonight. thanks so much for being with us. americans say no. that's the focus of tonight's angle. this is what americans are facing this christmas. the cost of living in the biden economy is so high that more people are raiding their 401(k)s to pay their bills. of course, our border total chaos. 8 million migrants from across the globe and counting, including violent criminals and suspected terrorists. the government releasing 5,000 migrants into the country every day this really stunned me. 670,000 known got-aways in fiscal year 2023 alone. the open border helped sink our cities into squalor and deadly consequences in small town america as well. >> raffaele romero is now behind bars in jackson county charged with capital murder in the death of 16-year-old medina. he is undocumented. >> nobody ever wants to see your child in the bathtub the way i found her. nobody. the curtains were closed i didn't see her. when i opened those curtains, i just want justice for my baby. >> laura: murdered her and left her in the bathtub. if all of that is not bad enough for you. there are new concerns that the tens of thousands of chinese nationals, mostly young men lined up at the border in recent weeks to see the video could be coming here to join sleeper cells to hit our critical infrastructure. more on this later most heart breaking of all this christmas more americans believe the american dream is out of reach. even when you work hard and do the right thing. this is the america that joe biden and the globalists have created for us. spend us into boifl, borrow and print known like there is no tomorrow. weaken the dollar, drive up inflation destroy faith in institutions like the doj and the fbi. oh, and poison our kids, yeah. with radical anti-american propaganda. then divide the country into pools of racial, ethnic and sexual victims. and then when all of that is done, expect those americans to rally around the ukrainian flag? in order to give them a better life? trust the same people who had us mired in iraq and afghanistan and then botched the withdrawal? what volodymyr zelenskyy, chuck schumer, mitch mcconnell and biden want us to all believe if we don't pony up billions more to ukraine, all hell will break loose and vladimir putin will declare victory. >> if we don't stop putin, it will endanger the freedom of everyone almost everywhere. putin will keep going and would be aggressors everywhere would be emboldened to try to take what they can by force. >> laura: then it's a ground war. your sons and your daughters. their blood is going to be spilled. they are going to die. this was the message from the ukrainian president as well who met with lawmakers and the president of the united states in washington today. and this entire sad saga shows us that once again 77 years after the end of world war ii europe is still not capable of or interested in we are told ukraineens freedom depends entirely on the united states borrowing billions more to keep them fighting russia and paying their government workers. >> fighting for freedom. we stand for no matter what putin tries. he hasn't won any victories. >> laura: thomas jefferson, right. there is nothing like having a foreign leader travel here to in and more money after he has failed to hit any benchmark of progress for which the original funds were appropriated. but if you don't give him more money right now, you're going to lose your entire investment. he is the bernie madoff of war time presidents. what are we funding exactly? ever think about that? his much ball whod summer offensive was ineffective. refuses to allow an election next year. speaking language of russians of millions of its own citizens seen ministers in own country embroiled in major corruption scandals that the u.s. taxpayers have already given. even the ukrainian people see the problems with billions in aid floating around in the hands of incompetent zelenskyy insiders. opinion poll commissioned by transparency international found that 77% of ukrainians see corruption as a major concern. another poll found that ukrainians see corruption as even higher than the threat of a nuclear strike by russia. now, if the grift and if the corruption issue doesn't bother the white house, i guess that shouldn't surprise any of us given what we knowed about the greed and sleaze of the biden family. while zelenskyy has taken some modest steps, we have to be fair to address the corruption issue, americans are so fed up they want us to focus on administration our own problems right now. that means problems here at elm who. contrary to what president biden said late today at his press conference, a bipartisan majority does not any longer support continuing the flow of money to ukraine a new cnn poll shows overall 55% say the u.s. congress should not authorize additional funding to support ukraine versus 45% who say congress should authorize such funding. and by the way 51% say that the u.s. has already done enough to help ukraine. 48% say we should do more. but, look, we know. this the american people want a strong border, strong industrial base, safe streets. high educational standards. none of it matters to this white house instead cater to the needs of a country that is not even a nato ally. >> i just signed another $200 million drawdown department of defense for ukraine and that will be coming. congress needs to pass the supplemental funding ukraine before they break the holiday recess. before they give putin the greatest christmas gift they could possibly give him. >> laura: but if ukraine loses, america will be humiliated. our global status will be diminished, they say. well, i hate to break it to all the globalists we're using that old line. thanks to their policies, america already has been diminished. america already has been humiliated we are in a state of decline and everyone knows it. they spent the last decade telling us that we were systematically racist. how was that a country anyone would want to emulate if that'sl true. at this point china has to be laughing. biden sucks up to xi as xi is partnering with putin and then america goes into debt to help ukraine beat putin. can you explain that to me? makes zero sense. our only hope is to rebuild america. that means manufacture things here, decouple from china. grow our economy. cut government spending, and reform every major institution that has failed to deliver wins. and that includes the pentagon. and that's the angle. all right. joining me now senator eric schmitt, member of the armed services committee. senator ron johnson, member of the homeland security committee. senator schmitd, i know you were all in the meeting with zelenskyy today. were any skeptic minds changed? >> no. there was nothing new here. it was the same old, same old. what was striking is you had the president from ukraine in the halls of the capital talking about the importance of protecting the sovereignty of his borders. and here we have a president in this country that refuses to address sovereignty of our own border. millions coming across. total disconnect. struck me the conversations here in washington on this are so different than in real america. real americans are struggling. they want us to focus on that. not blank check for endless war. >> your colleague mark kelly revealed today there is really no strategy for ukraine. watch this. >> what does an obtainable victory look like in ukraine? >> there will be a clear winner and loser in this conflict. everybody needs to understand that i mean, there will be an end to this. and we need make sure that the ukrainians win. >> i'm still short on the pacifics of what victory looks like. >> well, let's start with them not losing is this eighth grade let's start with them not losing. what are the american people gaining here. >> no strategy for the american people to win they can't win. only way to win start lobbing missiles into moscow to reduce russia's support for the war. they can't do that. >> laura: the pentagon knows this. the pentagon knows they have lost the war already. >> this is 22 months. the summer offensive. it didn't work. this is a bloody stalemate. every day that goes by. more ukrainians i do. more russians con scripts die. i get no joy. this war should be brought to an end. the sooner the better. because every day the outcome ends up being worse. going to have to be a negotiated settlement. from the standpoint of what america want, we want a secure border. and that's what -- >> laura: two separate things. of course we want a secure border that was a fool's errand tie together what we do ukraine makes no sense. >> he wanted more money to more efficiently encounter, pros is process and disperse. we need to secure the border. >> laura: they have no credible on that. >> also worth noting we are already $112 billion in ukraine. they want another 60 billion. >> laura: that's down basement. >> we heard in other briefings, another $100 billion request coming next year. responsible to what end here? how does this serve -- there is no articulation of strategy what victory means sort of insulting. >> interesting because president zelenskyy did say if he doesn't get support from america, this will turn to guerrilla war. that's really what he ought to be telling putin. there is no way you are going to be able to completely take over ukraine. we will fight to the end and this will be guerrilla war i need to come to the table let's end this war. fiona hill, impeachment fame. in the trump white house, obama. also on the board of harvard during all of this stuff with claudine gay she is making the case that look, if america doesn't step up, we are going to have a diminished standing in the world senator schmitd, exexcuse me. what about that argument? that we have to do that for our standing in the world. >> tired old arguments, scare people into some sort of decision that doesn't make any sense. the truth of the matter this isn't europe's backyard. the european allies need to step up. they refuse to do it. we have legitimate concerns about corruption that you noted in your opening. the democrats have blocked any movement for an audit. >> inspector general on this. >> she is late. if you were asked to devise a strategy to destroy this country you couldn't ask for a better game plan than president biden and the democrats. >> is it purposeful to you. >> how could not be? open borders, 40 year high inflation. wash on fossil fuel. withdrawal from emboldened. that's why putin is in ukraine what we did in afghanistan. he saw the weakness, that's what president xi sees. they are destroying this country. >> cultural marxism you have seen danny take hold of institutes played out with dei and crt. you wonder why you see these things happening on the street on college gus there is the answer. indoctrination. >> laura: a woke pentagon. shovel them more money? they are woke like the colleges. all right. great to see both of you. thank you for coming in the studio and love the beard. >> merry christmas. >> laura: merry christmas. harvard decided to keep its president as exposed as anti-semitic and plagiarist. in moments i will explain why this a good thing for conservatives but terrible for the poor ivy league. stay with us. ♪ some of the best traditions start under a tree. it's where we gather as a family. it's where we experience the excitement of opening day. it's where we caught our personal best. and this tree is where it all began. this christmas start traditions under your tree... share the tradition of visiting santa's wonderland at bass pro shops and cabela's. and get your free photo with santa. bass pro shops and cabela's.

the business community, having shoveled really billions to harvard over the years, has a big, big decision to make. joining me now is rob, an independent documentary filmmaker who has been covering far left activism at american universities. now, rob, i watched one of your documentaries over the weekend. and i was rivetted by it. you know, nice job on that. it was about professor roll alan fryer at harvard. claudine gay embodies everything wrong with higher ed. explain that. >> rolland fryer's life you wouldn't believe it because it sounds like a movie script. right? he is this guy born into poverty poor section of florida. his dad goes to jail for a series of crimes in rolland is in high school. somehow he is able to pull himself from there to become the youngest professor to ever secure tenure at harvard university okay? he is in the economics department. he uses his considerable genius level iq millions of dollars to raise to investigate the most hot topic of buttons. he does not have a political agenda. there is no partisan agenda. is he not for any particular political team. but his research kept blowing up some of the core tenets of wokeness that happened to saturate a place like harvard university. and his career a couple years ago was suddenly cut short by a very opaque shower. case that harvard and it's narnenablers he was a sexual predator on some of thinks staff. we put out a documentary that people can see at harvard cancel roland.com which demonstrates that that was a cynical cover story and, in fact, roland got punished because he refused to ttoe the line that you are expected to tofu are part of the black establishment at harvard university and one of the two people that we specifically identified as one of the alpha architects of roland's downfall is claudine gay. >> laura: why was she threatened by him particularly? i have watched him, watched videos. i had comments about public schools and how we have to stop treating kids as victims and lower the bar. incredible stuff. why was that a threat to her? >> what you are talking about is his groundbreaking resneercht harlem children zone, right? what roland is trying to find, he is trying to find the vaccine for education. is he like harlem children zone is somehow able to take poor black kids from far-flung parts of new york city and get them to not only catch up to but exceed their white counterparts. he takes about a year or two and investigates what are the essential elements of harvard the harlem children zone and he finds five core things. notice, that's in direct contrast to what is fashionable in terms of education reform, which is if black students aren't meeting the standards, the standards must necessarily be racist or oppressive and they need to be sheffield. someone like claudine gave, almost all of her moral authority is based upon the problems of black community never being solved a bit of incident electric centralled me 00 i have at this. >> laura: he does not have she does have. really existential threat to use an overused phrase to the entire social justice narrative of harvard. rob, your documentary was terrific. i know there are others. i'm going to link it up on my instagram page. thank you for sharing your insights about this. we're not letting this go. another issue at play is the university wants ties to china. now, let's look at mit where they have an entire program dedicated to studying abroad in china. they also get students set up with internships to they can participate in the rapidly expanding world of chinese business and technology. now, none of this comes as a surprise to my next guest who says he was barred from speaking at mit in 2020. because of his views on the communist nation. joining me now mike pompeo, former secretary of state under president trump. mr. secretary, anyone banned from one of these elite institutions is okay by me. but, they say that you couldn't -- you wouldn't be -- you weren't speaking because of covid. but you say it was something else. >> well, laura, it's great to be with you. i know exactly what it was. i prepared remarks some b. exactly the topic we are speaking about. the chinese communist party influence in american academia. research money that at least the theft of intellectual property. hardworking americans lose. chinese students on campus feeding information back to the chinese communist party. all of the donor money that goes to win friends and influence people on campuses. i was going to give a speech. i was the secretary of state. we decided that mit was the best place to give that speech and a handful of weeks out before the remarks i was told i was no longer welcome there. i had to go down a pretty long list. ultimately gave the speech at georgia tech. go wrap bling rec and can you see it. it was not about my viewpoint it was about facts and influence how the chinese communist party is inculcating our next generation of leaders in the very ideas play out across the country. >> laura: mr. secretary, "the washington post" reported today chinese military in the process of disrupting degree structure including water and power utilities transportation systems ohio, a major west point if president biden doesn't respond to the threat inside the gates we often when we talk about the chinese communist party talk about taiwan or the south china sea. they are inside the gates. we talked about them being in our institutions. you'll recall that i directed the closure of the chinese consulate in houston, texas, which, i think warnings was the largest spying operation ever inside of our country. they are infiltrating institutions. your point about our infrastructure is a very, very real threat. this is about the american families and its capacity to operate in a way that isn't influenced by chinese propaganda. we can absolutely do it, laura. president biden has to take it seriously. >> tens of thousands of chinese crossing our southern border. they just want a better life? >> odd. >> i'm sure there is a few that is true for deep ties to the chinese communist party. we can be sure almost none are up to any good when they come here at the direction of the party. >> laura: all right, mr. secretary, we need you back in the cabinet. good to see you, thank you. now, why many believe that american sentiment toward china might finally be changing. the matt man behind much of the efforts, ccp select committee chair mike gallagher is here next. big bombshell report israel is under attack. the war against israel began with the murder of hundreds of precious children. in this orphanage bomb shelter, we're praying for god's help, praying to avino malkino, our father, our king. countless israelis are enduring the devastating anguish of lost loved ones. thousands of rockets have forced over a hundred thousand israelis to become refugees in their own homeland. israeli families are in crisis. the international fellowship of christians and jews is on the ground, reaching jewish people of all ages. children, mothers, the elderly, even holocaust survivors. but we can't do it without you. your gift of $45 will make sure that the people of israel have mobile bomb shelters, emergency supplies, and the hot, nutritious meals that they so desperately need. our teams are working on the ground, often at great risk to themselves. they're delivering meals to the elderly and families who are living in bomb shelters. this would be an incredibly important time for all of the friends of the international fellowship of christians and jews to stand with our friends in israel. let them know that we are not only praying for the peace of jerusalem, but we're also praying and acting in their interest because we believe it's what god would have us do. i simply can't stress enough the urgency of this situation. it's more dire than ever before. this is your moment. this is your opportunity to make a life-saving difference. it's your prayers and gifts that give hope to the people of israel. call, scan, or visit our website now to make your life-saving donation. honey, i think i heard something. ok. ♪ from christmas tree mats... to floorliners... cargo liners.... no drill mud flaps... seat protectors... and more... weathertech has the perfect holiday gift. honey, is everything ok?

>> because we have become dangerously dependent on a hostile foreign regime. on a genocidal communist regime that has threatened to weaponize our supply chain dependency. imagine if we got into a conflict in taiwan if they cut off the export of advanced pharmaceutical and americans couldn't get access to life-saving drugs the chaos that would cause. 25 years ago we plant adlai into a bill that we passed. the lie was that china was going to be designated a market economy permanently. permanently. the problem then and now is that china's economy is not a market economy. the subis i died domestic energies. dump products in order to devastate american competitors. >> laura: their goal is to put american companies out of business period. end of story. >> the other lie was that by integrating them into the global economy it would moderate their behavior. they became more repressive. >> laura: bush, greenspan and clinton. the chamber of commerce criminal. they all thought china was going to come along. this was going to be great thing. talk about the decision back in 2,000 that you are referencing to grant the permanent trade relation discuss a to china. we used to call it the most favored nation status. it was one of the most important policy decisions i think of the last 50 years in america because it grew china. it was once considered untouch untouchable. how did you get this bipartisan agreement on that and will you move it to the gloor tore an actual vote? >> one thing that helped is we did multiple war games. teasing out what a confrontation would look like in terms of supply chains. economic weaponization. the evidence has just become too big to ignore. i don't think anyone could say with a straight face that china is abiding by the commitments they made when they to the wto. great testimony from former u.s. trade representative ambassador lighthizer very persuasive. what have you here i think for the first time in history a bipartisan report saying we need to move on from the pncr paradigm and adopt a new economic relationship. reset the relationship with china. so we can actually defend ourself from the ccp's economic aggression because the result have been devastating. we see detrailization in the midwest. again a growing dependency on has till regime and debt, debt and more debt. either admire this problem and do nothing or take action. it's time to take action. >> laura: ballooning trade deficit. this is all bipartisan. everyone has to realize. this china should be given a separate test of what is called tariff codes that would make it harder for china to export into our country. now, explain what the tariff code are and don't think we are too wonky. this is important. americans want to learn. go ahead. >> and, again, credit to ambassador lighthizer on this. you can't simply just repeal p and do nothing. so you have to move china to a new tariff column and then imagine different categories of tariffs depending on how sensitive something is. so potentially higher tariffs for things directly related to national security. like ai, quantum, hypersonics, things like that. potentially lower tariffs in things less relevant for national security. the overall point is that china would be back -- i mean congress would be back in the driver's seat in terms of determining what that should look like and would have an annual vote, which we used to have on with china until we actually decoupled that vote and also delinked human rights concerns from granting permanent normal trade relation status. >> laura: keeping is moving this reported to legislation. as i said earlier. how confident are you that the speaker of the house, we're trying to get him on the show, mike johnson, will actually bring this to the floor? >> well, when he was head of the republican study committee mike johnson put forward a very forward leaning smart recommendations on china. i have had very productive conversations with him and committee chairman and certainly the view i have communicated is that we need to take action it. would be a massive missed opportunity. i think the goal is to package up the policy proposals we put forward in the report into stuff that can actually pass and have a vote early next year before it's too late. >> laura: people like jon tester, sherrod brown. guys skating on this force them to vote. force biden to veto it. three steps ahead, congressman. >> hire you. >> you can't afford me. nice job a heinous hit and run crime caught on tape. that report in moments. plus, wait until you hear why one school district told teachers to lie to parents. yeah. that's next. ♪ type 2 diabetes?

>> well, i was shocked. i was just -- actually, i felt really angry because i thought why am i being asked to step into the role of making these life changing decisions for my students and cuttings the parents out? to me, that was so wrong. it just -- it's not something that i felt i was qualified or that i should be doing. i knew that parents -- guys. yeah. look. >> it's their right. >> laura: elizabeth, people watching this across the country going how is this america? how is this continuing to happen in america? and, paul, i know you are currently attempting to hold the district, the school officials in contempt of court. what can you tell us about that? >> so the federal court here, judge issued a 36-page ruling enjoining the policy. he said it constitutes a trifecta of harms. it harms the students, the teachers, and the parents. and you think in the face of a federal court order that they would either rescind the policy or come into compliance with the order at least while they are challenging the policy. instead, what they have done is continuing to defend the policy, which is obviously illegal and obviously dangerous. but, in addition, they are not complying with the terms of the order. they were not supposed to take any adverse employment actions against our clients. and today at over two months. since this order has been issued. they still out of work and not able to return safely. in the case of lori, another plaintiff, they have continued to use bogus complaints that have been made, frivolous complaints as a justification to keep her out of school. it's obvious to us violation of the order. we think the court will be very concerned about. the court set a hearing for january 10th to deal with this issue. >> laura: this have a vendetta clearly. if a parent calls a teacher and says i notice something is going on with my child, what can you tell me about what is happening in class. paul, the way i read that poorly worded policy, that teacher could be in trouble for answering the parent, correct? >> yeah. basically, what they have set up at this school district and by the way this is nationwide, little 5-year-old students can dictate to their teachers gender. dictate that their parents don't get to know their gender. totally absurd policy. the judge in our case picked up on that and sort of in a 36-page very comprehensive opinion exposed all the constitutional infirmities with a policy like this. these are very common policies and this ruling really sets the framework nationwide to be able to analyze them and to sort of undo them on a broader scale. >> laura: it all has to be overturned. you have to go back to teaching. we have to go back to right and wrong. this is obscene and wrong across the board and of course unconstitutional. elizabeth and paul, thank you. good luck. now why is ikea trying to make you ditch your christmas goose plus would you drink refined sewer water?

(tony hawk) skating for over 45 years has taken a toll on my body. i take qunol turmeric because it helps with healthy joints and inflammation support. why qunol? it has superior absorption compared to regular turmeric. qunol. the brand i trust. >> laura: now it's time for wtf. joining me now, new book, cancel culture dictionary is currently available for pre-order. jimmy, if there is anything that screams wtf, it's this topic. we have bill gates to thank for, watch. >> on one end you've got sewage. >> on the other end -- then you get electricity and you get water. pl [applause] >> i'm pretty confident this is the bottled water. >> it was rigged. it was all poop water. >> laura: california seems to like that idea. state water regulator are set to allow water agencies for sewers, directly to drinking water, jimmy. >> listen, laura, i shouldn't be judging what anyone drinks after the weekend i had in dallas. but this is disgusting. it is gross. but knowing california, gavin newsom will find a way to spin this into a positive. it's like california has the number one tap water, and the number two. and liberals will be like that's amazing and republicans will throw up because we get what they are doing here but it's very important, just quickly for the viewer to understand, like all climate policies, nobody pushing them is engaging in them. do you think there is a world where bill gates is drinking poop tap water? >> laura: never. >> stop it. bill gates is so rich he's using people as furniture. he's sitting on a person as a couch and bringing in the most refined bottled water known to man. this is disgusting. shame on them. but they will get away with it because they are idiots. >> laura: a fight broke out at this fourth grade boys basketball game over the weekend but not among the kids that were playing. watch. [indistinguishable voices] >> laura: i love the refs with their fists off. they are doing that, come on. >> who are these old time any fighters, but, you know, i think this is bad and i say this as someone who bets on fourth grade basketball. so if i'm a voice of reason we have a problem but we've got to be careful with how we describe this because cnn is saying it was a mostly peaceful disagreement. the president of harvard says we need more contacts before we judge this as violence, as you would imagine. stupid. >> laura: she knows all. maybe the rest need to hire a new agent like the one that the giants quarterback tommy devito has. this guy looks like he's right up there with the sopranos. check this out. >> as a guy who had an italian grandpa from brooklyn i get it. that's a handsome, handsome look right there. [laughter] >> hold on here. there is value in this and i tell you why. there was a longstanding rumor, like 30 years old, that jimmy hoffa was buried in giant stadium. we finally found the guy who would know the answer to the question. >> laura: it's a throwback look and sound. >> i love this guy. he looks like he would be a judge on a reality show called "lone shark tank." not just regular shark tank. this guy is a gem and i would love his pregame speech to the team. it's not whether you you win or lose but if you cover the point spread. i love this guy. he's my guy. >> laura: don't you want to show the sopranos again? david chase-style talent. i mean there are some good shows, i guess. >> the giants couldn't get a super bowl ring so they settled for a pinky ring. i get what they are doing. >> laura: you're naughty. it's great to see you as always. that's it for us. stay connected. make sure to follow me on social media. you know all the usuals and thank you for watching. remember, it is america now and forever. i still can't believe the poop water thing. jesse takes it from here and he would never drink that water. ever. ever
