0 this special edition of "hannity". unfortunately that is allhi the time we have left for tonight . be sure to tune in tomorrow morning for fox and friendsie weekend. rachel campos duffy just ensured it mightd. be a little bit more interesting on the couch tomorrow with her challengebe. don't worry.t seanwo hannity is back on monday . have a great night, everybody. i'm laura ingraham and this the special week in review ingraham angle from washington the party of despair. that's the focus of tonight's angle. t >> and remember when the democrats used to be all about hope and change? i was born in a little>> town called hope, arkansas. it was a wonderful little small town where you know, it seemed s that everybody knew everybody else. eve in a politicse of cynicism or do we participate in a politics of hope? difficulty face off ,hope in the face of uncertainty. but now a democrat party is singing a different tune. >>gi of course, always die in a military coup. democracy dies at the ballot box. that's exactly right. i actually think there's a fair chance that we could completely lose our constitutional democracy for a couple of decadesle if we keep making if e make bad decisions. oh my god.. talk about looking defeated bad decisions. that one bill clinton just .. ked about well, we know what a bad decision was, don't we? deciding to endorse biden in the first place. now of all people, bill clinton should have warned his party about the risks of veering tooof far to the left. after all, a more centrist approach is what gaveve bill clinton two terms in the white house. and by the way, it's not justoc the end of democracy altogethera that they're warning about. a >> some are even predicting a civil war . this is a group i have been radicalized are the great replacement myths and many other things and have been pushing for violence a and pushing for even civilnd war . say this .mo that was one of the mostco irresponsible comments i've heard in a long time and that's a long list. we wholeheartedly reject this dark and pessimistic view of our country. now what ofrk america now is the agenda of the far left progressives, the fanatics that have taken the democratic party hostage and set us on this disastrous path we now find ourselves on . but we don't have to have six dollar a gallon gas. we don'tas have to have a president who is a complete embarrassment on the world stage. we certainly don't have tota hae criminals owning our streets. we know we don't have to have an open border back in 2019 pre pandemic. we had none of those things and we had low unemployment, rising wages, higher optimism, no inflation. you don't we had we had peace and prosperity and we can have it again. d and even during covid i was thinking about this trump did operation warp speed. he urged america to get back tol work, get back to school, get back to business had we've done just that moving through the biden administration and kept going with our energy independence, controlled our streets, our borders, my god, wouldn't be a very strong positionn right now vis a vis china and russia. any other adversary. but unfortunately for us and i warned about this in the campaign, biden is too weak to stand up to the fanatics on the far left and look at what they've done already, how much harm they've done to urban america and how much of that harm is starting to spread coast to coast because ofto the economic pain before us at even the new york times is admitting this today, saying this is goingyi to hurt. of course, trump and many of us predicted everything that's unfolding right now right down to the gas prices and a collapse in the stock market. we were right sadly, and they with their rosy predictions about how wonderful and dignifiedsy and elated and harmonious everything would be under bidenar, they were wroh . >>ey the truth is they set out from day one to lower our standard of living to diminish our freedoms and to radically alter the american landscape . and tope some extent they've accomplished a lot that now they did this because they neverer had a lot of faith in america in the first place. and frankly, they just don't like the american people very much either. they hate our historyryr . they hate our founding, our traditions, our patriotismns ,even our own borders. to them it's not really the land of the free and the home of the brave. it's the land that was stolen and the home of the racists because americans are on the verge of throwing them out of office. they suddenly want to tellte us democracyll no longer works r it's in jeopardy. no, let me tell how it goes when democrats lose huge in november and then in twenty twenty four we will once again see the genius of the founders at play. the people will have had their say and they'll havete rejected the failed policies and foolish corrupt politicians who enacted them. and after that it'ser t restoran time and that's the angle. joining me now i is ari fleiscr ,former white house press secretary as well as ben domenik, editor at large of the spectator. both are fox news contributors. ari, it really was striking tock go back and to watch the old obama speechessp and bill clintn is very optimistic tone about the country. >> so what's happened? the democratic progressive wing which still biden is now a happy subscriber to iske the most pessimistic p of the pessimists on the planet. they think everything about americahi is wrong and you touched on it, laura . . the democrats have always had a blame americaca for a strain in their party . former u.n. ambassador jeane kirkpatrick under ronald reagant talked about a 40 years ago, but since then it's spread to virtually every aspect of democratic life. you heard it from michelle obama when she says she wasr never proud of the united states until her husband finally got into politics. it is a blame america first blame america all the time.a everything america touches and does is wrong philosophy provides such an opening to sensible i moderate conservative people, hispanic voters who love this country and are proud of our patriotism, proud of our record and even though we do do things wrong from time to time as a nation we learn and are always better. that's the america i know.te it'sr. not the americae that democrats know now. it's their vision. it's just so depressing. been this morning at a majorjo economies forum, biden spoke to a group of leaders from aroundin the world, including chinacl and eight minutes into this he, ends uphe signalingsu his willingness to surrender american power. here was one such moment in thee united states. we're building a nationwide network of five hundred thousand electric vehicle charging stations and we set a goal of ensuring that half of all passenger cars sold in united states in 2020 will be zero 20 30 i should saye will be zero emission. then he also said this wouldlp help usher in a transit as they like too call it. what do you think golgi is thinking when it's biden up there talking about the charging stations that they're launching their thirdas aircraft carrier? well,ft i think he's laughing at joe bidenhi inside. but you know, i would take ari's point and expand it even further. i think that the leftor isn't just depressed about america. they're, depressed about t the state of the worldld and eza klein, the new york times columnist recently said that the questione he gets the most when he goes out and speaks to people or solicits questions from his readership is should i still have children given the state of climate change in the world which you couldch laugh at except it's so depressing. there are people who truly have bought into his religiont that says that we are on the cusp of a truly disaster to the point that we saw abortion spike in twenty twenty during the pandemic to an unprecedented degree. you see this all leading up to this point where joe biden is becoming the most malaise focused president that we've seen since jimmy carter. it's truly a depressing circumstancece and i just hope that these folks don't go crazy when november comes around and they are and their whole approach to the way that they view the world is rebutted by the voters now are according to the washington post, biden's other plan to combat growing gas prices. you guessed it inflationary. ta bidenki officials are taking a second look at whether the federal government could send rebate cards out tot millions of american drivers to help them pay at gas stations so he causes the problem. he causes it with a war on oil and gas. now we're going to go into more debt and drive more inflation with more spending. that'smo a cycle we're in here and youu talk about bad ideas. why not give a rebate card to all americans in the form of letting the oil companies and the gas companies develop more resources for all americanss? that's how you lower the prices for everybody. and this nonsense that we can ask other nations to produce more oil that doesn't harm the earth, that doesn'trt contribute to global warmingh. but if we produce it in america, it does i mean their adherence, evenle the principles of the green new deal that they adhere to are awfully flexible . you know, it's not complicated. lura produce more energy in america. prices go down producing more energy in america we become more energy independent. it's a win foror all. and when it comes to a green new deal, when it comes to global warming, you know, the solution to that is eternal optimism of america to somebody . one day is going to become the richest person on earth when they make the scientific breakthrough to carbon capture. that day will come. it depends on capitalism. it depends on freedom. it depends on being able to make a massive profit. whoever follows that course will be the richest personn on earth and they'll solve a problem. that's how you deal withve thes issues. ban capitalism and we have 400 years of oil and gas to keep our country independent and prosperous and cheap energy . meanwhile, we have all that now again, i need to get your thoughts on this axios reporting today that frustration inside the senate gop conference isp boiling among conservatives that the way senator john cornyn is handling the gune reform negotiations. one gop senator speaking to access anonymitygo about the concerns branded cornyn is approach shut up and vote ben. this reminds me of some old days and ari might remember them as well. the bush years when some ofbu us were complaining about the border issue and we were basically told not ari but others shut up and just support what they were doing. >> s i don't think this works well. i don't think it works either. laura and i see this as someone who used to work for senator cornyn. look, i thinkna he really is trying to make something work here . but this moment requires a really fine touch and i thinka that you when the federal government wades into issues like red flag laws where you can have the rights of americans stripped away from them, often in irresponsible ways, it gives a lot of investors a lot of power in government that we're not sure we really want them to have a certainly think that there's parts of this framework that can be supported in terms encouragement when it comes to mental health and other steps along those linesurag. those are things we've all been calling for, but it requires this negotiation and trust. and i think that , you know, the gop has long been a party that kind of tells its voters to shut upsh and go along with their great ideas. that doesn't always work out a well for themlw historically. and i hope that this is not a situation where they make the same mistake the establishment tried that before 2016 on china trade the border and they got donald trump . so they keep doing that so they donald trump could run and win again. i mean they're not if they don't. >> listen, iribarne, so great to see you both. have a great weekend. to be with you.ou now last night we told you about the new front being opened up by the british illustration in the war on speech and it seems that the dhs and the nsa aren't the only government agencies't that want in now. 's the fcc also known the securities exchange commission that has reportedly requested information from a business partner of donald trump's social media company d truth social. now the filing could reportedly materially delay, materiallyor impede or prevent what is a consummation of its business combination over a true social. so we decided to go to devin nunes, ceo of trump media and technology group. devintete, what's going on here with the timing of the fccry inquiry that you can share with tonight? >> laura , thank you . i mean, look, we're all for transparency here through social media group. we don't have anything to hide. we'll answer any questions they have and we want to be treated like every other company youy may remember that it wasn't donald trump that needed a new company . itbe was only cause because donald trump was kicked off of social media along with those of us that were also shadoww band or censored and everything else. and look, it's alwayshing this thing where the leftu always tells us , well, if you don't like these social media companies big companies or conservatives, just go out and start your own company. well,, look, that's what we're doing. donald trump denuke company. i didn't need a new job. we're trying to open the internet back up for the american people and give the people their voice back and we expect to be treated fairlyy like anyot other company should be treated. >> are you concerned atyouldhi this point with this inquiry about this new business partnership of yourste that you're not being treatedd fairly vis a vis other corporations that don't have any association with conservatismot? well, look, we don't know because you know, we filed publicly everything transparent with the fcc a month agose and they should be producing comments that would be made public. we'll answer them all publicly. . remember, the fcccc charter is very clear . it's. there to protect the shareholders and look the best thing to protect shareholdersest is to have a speedy process that gets dones in normal fashion so that we don't have some bureaucracy off weaponizes allll branches of government, every agency and the federal government is truly terrifying and we're paying for it, by the way. now i want to play a leaked video, devon, fromec project veritas from elon muskst from yesterday's town hall with twitter employeeser. >> i think it's essential to have a free speech and for people to communicate, communicate freely in order for people to have trust in twitter . i think it's extremely important that there be transparency. so the things that i said about. where i think are beginning to happen in order for it to be you know, to really go to the next level. devon, would musk twitter aquisition be a threat to the power of truth? social will actually, president trump and myself have been very clear . we're all for it, right? the mission of our company isne to opent the internet back up. and whatat we've said from the very beginning, if elon musk can buy that company plus instagram, ticktock , whatever he can buy would be aan of a lot better than what we have today. , and so, you know, look, he's got a he's got a tough job. not going to be easy. i mean, that whole video washo very, very strange. i saw several of the questions and i think it'sg going to be a tough time because the people that work there are just so woke and they don't even understand what they're doing un is wrong. youu know, and that's why i look yesterday and was very interesting. we had governor newshole of california joined true socialint and look, i welcomed him there. now newsom and i, we haven't we don't agree on anything in california. but you know, we're happy that he joined i mean, weut want him to be there and he put up a he put up a critical video oft republican policies, what he believes are bad republican policies and that's a what it should be all about.th and look, that's what we're doing through social. we're everybody on we're notre censoring for and we'repurposes not going to kick governor newsom off. he's free to be there and we invite other democrats to join our and there was all these media reports that you all were booting people off through social you know, allegedly banning them if they disagreed on issues regarding january 6, january six hearing, i'm going to give you the opportunity to answeriv this . is there any truth toh that claim? it's actually zero. so every day i mean, it's almost likee i feel like we're back in like the russia hoax like at the height of the russia hoax where youie get ninety five stories a day that you don't even have enough time the day to dispute them.r, but this one was clear they were doctored posts that went to twitter and then the stupid fake news media went and wrote a story. so one writes a story theny another writes for another writes a story and it's like what the hell are you talking about? we couldn't findat him but we looked for it, couldn't find it. yeah, i think it was actually good that some came on to interest social and posted a video. that's what the first amendment's all about. that's what our country is allfs about having debates free and open exchange of ideas. i thought that was a really great development. i welcome that . devin, it's great to see you as always. all right. thanks so muchth. up next , it's been a banner week for wool exports incee and in moments, how sportsil illustrated smeared a high school footballlu coach over prayer. plus, congressman and former nfl player burgessssma owens ise here on the fine handed down to one nfl coach over a january six . >> comments say they're hi. i'm thinking that you may know me from flipping houses. listen, i've designed hundreds of new spaces and i've seen it all crumbling group impossible games, clunky step over tub. say goodbye to that ugly headache and hello to jacuzzi baths remodel. everyone knows the jacuzzi brand. they're the most trusted name in water for over sixty years. but did you know they can install a gorgeous baths shower that feels incredible and as little as one day and at a price that will fit any budget stepping into your new shower has never been easier. it was just so difficult to get in and out of the tub. taking a shower was such a challenge. now it's an absolute highlight of my day because my bathroom remodel combines safety and style. so you don't have to compromise because wherever or at least you deserve to start and end your day in a spectacular space designed just for you. when we first moved in , the shower was so outdated it had to go to the bathroom model transformed. our space is something that we love and did it all with in the day you get your own personal designer to help you customize your bath or shower and a professional installer who brings your dreams to life with no stress and no, i couldn't believe we can get the best for our dreams and within our budget and with our busy lives, cleanup has become so easy no more resprout for scrubbing tiles. that's right. no scrubbing each piece especially engineered and perfectly designed work together for a sunny shower system forensically with one call you can effortlessly transform old ugly eyesore into a beautiful bath or shower that you'll love for years to come with a jacuzzi bath remodel call or go online to jacuzzi. bathrooms are called no to get up to 50% off installation. plus ask how you may qualify for no interest and no payments for twelve months. and when you call right out we'll give you an additional safety upgrade free go to jacuzzi remodel .com or call eight hundred nine nine zero five one three eight. that's eight hundred nine nine zero five one three eight call now heart attack giving it life insurance. no, but we have insurance, john . i'm trying to find something we can afford. fortunately in only a few minutes select john a five hundred thousand dollar policy for only twenty nine dollars a month and his wife and a five hundred thousand dollar policy for only twenty one dollars a month. go to select post.com now and get the insurance your family needs at a priceay you can afford select we shop you say do you strugglees the fall asleep and stay asleep tunelessly formula combine'she five key nutrients that can help you fall asleep faster stay asleep longer and wake up refreshed. the brand i trust is cuno ever wonder how much your neighbor's house is worth ?
