sean: it was odd because it was one of the few times i could not see the clock. laura: oh, is it really? is that what we re saying? sean: i was late one time in all the years we ve been togethering laura: all right. now, a lot of years, all right, sean. sean: that s a lot of years. laura: awesome show and i will pick it up where you left off. i m laura ingraham and this this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. we bring you voices from inside ron desantis s twitter announcement. david and thomas peace participated he ll be here, newt gingrich charlie hurt raymond arroyo, they ll compare previous presidential launches and tell you who you this one stacked up. but, first, as you might have guessed, desantis launches, that s the focus of tonight s angle. now it s quiet. let s see. so are we on? yeah, i think so. just simplify. okay, great. so, let s see. just keeps crashing, huh? so we re very excited to have governor desantis make this laur
glitchy but we were teasing. and i was involved. laura: and you were there, we re going to tease you about something later but you were there and the economy s the number one issue and we didn t talk about it at all? what? well, ron will be able to talk about the economy because he didn t shut his down and trump was urging governors to shut their economies down. and i was in congress and i got screamed at by president trump. by the way if he wins the nomination i ll vote for him enthusiastsically. but he was for the $2 trillion cares act and one of the reasons we did we had a lackluster performance in the midterms is because we couldn t run against inflation because most of my colleagues were urged by trump to spend three or $4 trillion we didn t have that caused the inflation. ron desantis doesn t have that problem. yeah, maybe he should have talked about that in the twitter spaces but that was a ranging dialogue. that wasn t scripted. like he could have written a speech and
worries voters most. we spent our whole lives savings to get a good retirement account and now we see it dwinding, like dwinding dwinding dwinding. everything getting more and s more expense i have and it makes it hard for people even seven days a week. inflation is taking a bite out of everything, getting more and more difficult to manage all that. now, no wonder biden s numbers on handling the economy are among the worst i ve ever seen, with just 33% approval and only 24% of americans say national economic conditions are in good shape. so i was a little surprised that governor desantis and his shaft spent almost no time on the issue tonight. that s going to need to change on the stump. how about saying something like, my energy policy will help push gas leans back down closer to around 2:30 a gallon and the trade policy will help main street not wall street. we tackle the fentanyl nightmare
that s why you now have tim scott in the race you re going to get several more people in the race because there is a vacuum there that desantis didn t fill. he s a very good governor, does a great job in florida, has a good message but so far he hasn t come across as a charismatic leader with a compelling message that makes you say, yeah, he s the guy, he s the person i want to lead the country. and if he doesn t find a message like that, then his campaign will transcribe until it peters out. laura: i want to play an interesting message from the convo tonight about the influence of our financial institutions. we will not be a free society if major financial institutions with do through the economy what people could not achieve through the ballot box our rights will be restricted for the end resulted and that s not healthy
