, everyone i m yasmin vossoughian on a very busy saturday afternoon. it s down to the wire as negotiators say they are very close to a deal on the debt ceiling, as talks continue right now. i feel closer to agreement now than i did last time before i couldn t see progress. but this is not easy. but that since [inaudible] i am cautiously optimistic a deal will be negotiated and the default will be averted, and congress will be called back into session next week. but there s nothing to celebrate here. this is purely a self inflicted wounds. we re also keeping an eye on the rare side of the house hearing in texas as well, considering the impeachment of state attorney general, ken paxton. and its fellow republicans leading the charge against him. we also have new information about donald trump on tape. part of the evidence against him in a manhattan d.a. s investigation, and it is, everybody, as you all well know, memorial day weekend. the unofficial start of summer. we re
that is in studio by the name of john john hamm. all right. that is the message. hi john . all right. i love you guys. i m laura ingraham. and this is ingram angle from washington tonight. the trump desantis duel to come . that s the focus of tonight s angle hour. how tiresome is commentary like this? but it s very important to expose him for who he is , which is not a regular politician. but a violent cult leader. he leads a powerful cult of personality for republican party that has become a cult of personality around donald trump . so we re supposed to believe that trump s voters are only attracted to kind of his, in your face, bare knuckle style, like a fighter who s refreshingly woke. well, that s nonsense. what his core supporters firmly believe is that as of now, trump is the only candidate who has credibility on four vital policy issues. now, trump has a proven record of standing up to china, both biden and the gop establishment want a partnership with chin
