This is the Ingraham Angle from washington tonight. We are hours two hours away from what we hope is President Bidens last state of the union address. Larry kudlow is in the house, Vivek Ramaswamy, and so many more. First, spinning themselves dizzy, that is the focus of tonights angle state of the union, state of the Union Speeches rarely memorable no. Real evidence that they help turn things down for flailing presidencies. Nonetheless brians advisers are doing their best to propose ideas. I think the top line should be the Inflation Reduction Act reduced inflation. Good policy makes good politics, right . And he has good policy. Jobs, wages, everything going in the right direction economically. The stock market is booming. Blockbuster job report after blockbuster job report. I dont think you guys need me. I was just listening to the commentary. [laughter] i dont think you guys need me this morning. Laura of course kjp is right. Although i might add that they do her job better than she does her job. And they dont even need, you know, to read any binder notes. You look at sort of him having the most diverse government we have ever had. I think he has a good story to tell that just got to do a good job of telling. Can he tell it . Yeah, thats right the question. Regardless of what happens in the state of the union what they got to do tonight is win the after, win the spin. Laura got win the spin, as if there is any doubt that biden will win the spin in our Media Landscape we have now. Of course he is going. To say because our Dishonest Media includes anchors, reporters and analysts who refuse to cover the border crisis for years, until they had to, and they down played the risk of inflation, crime, and the damage that the radical Trans Movement is doing to our kids. So the prespeech build up is the best in my view comedy going. Dave chapelle should really take notes. I think you will see a lot of energy from the president. Again, i will remind you, john, last year in real time he schooled the republicans who were talking about medicare and Social Security and made sure they committed to taking that off the table. Thats the kind of energy you saw last year. Thats the kind of energy i see every day when im working with the president. Laura prediction, in a few hours the media will be lavishing praise on biden. And if you cant watch the speech, you will hear people saying that it was amazing how biden knocked it out of the park. How he put to rest the doubts about his stamina. He nailed it. He was passionate. He did what he needed to do. It will be right up there the speech at the end of all of this with jfks Inaugural Address and the gettysburg address. But, we had a taste of this just a few days ago. Start your tape right now because im about to tell you the truth. And f. U. If you cant handle the truth. This version of biden intellectually, analytically, is the best biden ever. Not a close second. Laura okay. This is delusional and frankly its sad. Now, were supposed to believe after seeing biden in the last just three year span, that he is sharper than he was 37 years ago at the beto orourke bourque co . All right you be the judge. Controversy over the constitution has been over the basic question that is certain to animate the debate that may commence in this committee. And that is the debate between the tensions between the rights of an individual and the will of the majority. I i guess i should clear my my mind here a little bit and not say what im really thinking. Laura okay. Of course voters know that this spin, bidens at the top of his game is just all lies. A new Pew Research Poll shows people are seeing right through it . Big estuary of concern for biden in these numbers is probably on questions like is he mentally sharp . 29 say that describes joe biden. Is he energetic . 24 say that describes biden and that underscores the challenge and potentially the opportunity that joe biden has with his speech tonight. Laura the opportunity to go from 26 to 28. Now, im actually shocked that msnbc discussed bidens numbers today because it cuts against their own probiden narrative. But numbers are numbers. And when they are put in historical perspective, they are really bad for biden. George w. Bush won in 2004 with a 54 approval. Obama was a bit under 50 . And he beat romney, of course, in 2012. Trump was at 46 approval in 2020. And, of course, he lost to biden. But now biden . He is now sitting at just 3 7 a. Approval. And just when you think that couldnt get worse historically for biden, it does. If you want to push the clock back further the incouple bents where biden is or lower reelection year george bush in 1992. Jimmy carter in 1980, they were both defeated for reelection. Thats the historical challenge that biden faces. Laura well, the real challenge that biden faces is that the results of his policies are deeply unpopular and deeply damaging to the country. Open borders, lower wages, more trans stuff, more war. China emboldened. So any president , even a president like at the top of his, you know, game in communicating would have a really hard time selling that as something good for america. And for that reason his communications team, his comms team, which certainly runs the white house gaslighting and spin from their pals. They even tried bringing in fake president s to help the real president. I never spoke to some president s all at one time. What i big speech i have to do Coming Up State Of The Union . Any advice you have for me delivering my speech. Well, sir, in my capacity as president , all i had to deal with was the media. We just had invaders from out of space coming in. I do feel i should just point out one thing there is no crying in politics. Laura i just want to stop for a moment going off teleprompter. There are really serious things happening around the world, someone had an idea to spend a couple hours, which is probably what that took with biden, especially, to bring in actors to kind of do a big roll up to the state of the union. Two hours, at least. Thats their priority. But, i mean, i got to be fair, its better than getting his economic ideas from lets say Sesame Street. Cookie, cookie. Pointed out cookies his cooks are getting smaller, paying the same price, ha ha. I was stunned when i found out thats what actually happened. Laura what did ernie and berth say . Well, because biden refused to change any of his policies either on the border or antigas agenda faking it is all they have. Trump is going to cancel elections forever if he wins. America will have no on allies in the world. Trump will imprison his political enemies. Of course thats precisely what they are trying to do. Oh, sorry. The people who want to ban gas cars and gas stoves, they are all about freedom. Look, youre going to hear the president address how our democracy is under attack, how our freedoms are certainly under attack. Is he going to speak to what we have been seeing across the country as it relates to a womans healthcare. Laura healthcare, killing babies. As i have said before, pot, porn, abortion, transgenderism, open borders, maybe throw in ukraine. That pretty much sums up the agenda of todays democratic party. But one problem, none of that helps people pay their Grocery Bills or fill up their gas tanks. Making things harder not easier for the millions of americans who probably arent watching tonight because they are too busy working a second job or try to figure out racking their brains how they are going to cover rent and their car payments this month. Bidens spin, his friends spin not going to help them. Frankly it insults them. And thats the angle. Joining us now missouri senator josh hawley. Senator kjp gave up a little preview. Gave us a preview of tonights speech. Watch this. Its going to be important for the American People to hear directly from him on his vision, how what he has done in the last three years. He has done more in the last three years, wily, than most president s have been able to do in their first in their two terms. Laura senator . Well, he has done more in the last three years open our border, let 9 million illegals cross, laura, he has given away our entire Auto Industry to china, he has flat lined wages for american workers. I mean, we could just go on and on. The question has he done anything good for america . I cant think of a single thing. Laura these speeches tend to come and go and the bottom line as i said in the angle, people actually have to pay their bills. And the spin, im going to get into the economic stuff with larry kudlow coming up. But this idea that americas democracy is on the line, trump is hitler, trump is paul pot. Trump is stalin. That doesnt seem to be resonating at all but i guess thats all they have. When you wreck the economy like he has wrecked it and treated workers like he has. Heres what he is doing when you mandate that we use tax dollars to pay china to make electric vehicles we dont want and sell them back to us at a huge markup, when thats your Economic Policy make China Rich And Make America Poor Yeah you have got to talk about the maga extremist and threats to democracy. Only threat to democracy is joe bidens senility and the fact he has weaponized his justice department. Laura i tried to book oscar from Sesame Street who lives in the garbage. Announce that the u. S. Military, senator, is going to build a port in gaza, we have so much extra money. The development was revealed by Senior Administration officials leaking this before the state of the union to discuss humanitarian aid, for the hamas controlled territory. Hamas is Still Holding american hostages, and this is a political move, is it not, on the part of this administration because they are bleeding support in michigan and other places . Absolutely. Joe biden try to appeal hamas face. Think about it. Guy so desperate for votes is he willing to go out and there throw israel under the bus and go out and pretend there is some moral equivalence between what has happened to israel on october 7th and what the prohamas fanatics are doing to their own people. If you want to blame somebody for what is happening in gaza blame hamas. Instead is he blaming israel. Its all about votes. Laura when you go back home and talk to people in missouri. Some are hesitant about voting for President Trump. But, im hearing more and more, you know, he gets it. Like simple comments that people make. Even they are annoyed by nicknames. He gets it. I think that they mean he gets them, what theyre going through. Are you seeing that . Absolutely. I mean, listen, its not complicated. People want the border secure. They dont want drugs pouring into their country. They dont want 9 million illegals and people like Laken Riley Being murdered in cold blood by Illegal Immigrants joe biden has let into the country. This isnt hard. They want to be safe and plots per russ. Look at record bidens. Laura make biden appear for vigorous including this one. I think that what he ought to do is or try to do do what he last year adlib. Go off script. Show that he doesnt have to have a script. Thats what a lot of people think that biden cant walk or talk without a script or chew gum. Show that he can act in the moment and that shows real mental acute, it shows he is on top of his game. Who said m mark kin none wast a fan of donald trump. Thats the best news go off script. I love the hat. Im going to sit there in the state of the union. I will be enduring it along with the rest of america. I would love to hear the president actually express authentic comment. Is he not capable of doing it, laura. Lets admit the truth. Laura i will get in trouble if i answer any questions he always says. There you go. Theres a reason. Laura when he goes back to that microphone thats always a bad day for the comms team. Senator, i dont want to delay you from walking across the way to get to the capitol. Good luck. Thanks for having me. Laura democrats are happy to build a wall, just not one that needs to be built. Vivek ramaswamy joins us next with reaction. Stay there. [speaker] at first, just leaving the house was hard. [speaker] but Wounded Warrior project helps you realize its possible to get out there [speaker] to feel sense of camaraderie again. [speaker] to find the tools to live life better. [narrator] through Generous Community support, weve connected warriors and their families with no cost physical and Mental Health services, legislative advocacy, career assistance, and Life Skill Training for 20 years, and we are just getting started. No. No. Nuhuh. Yeah. Oh. Yes. Oh yeah. Yes. Isnt this great . Yeeaahhhh yeah, i could do a cartwheel in here. Oh hey would you like to join us . No. We would love to join you. We can secure our border without an ineffective specific wall. Building a wall is not an answer, not here or any place. We dont build up walls to keep people out. Laura oh, yeah you do. We all know liberals love walls and tall gates, big fences, lots of security to keep uninvited guests from crashing their fancy houses and of course they want to keep theirselves safe. And at the u. S. Capitol they love keeping americans out, americans. They find fences and barriers useful as props as a way to remind people, of course, of january 6th, to give the impression that maga is a threat to democracy joining me now is Vivek Ramaswamy former g. O. P. President ial candidate. Defense man extraordinaire. This offense is giving january 6th vibe. Are they going to put us all in solitary confinement, too . Certainly what they are planning to send the vibe of. It was pretty striking to me. I was there earlier today, these people that believe that walls work. They know they are effective. Part of the reason they dont support one at the southern border is not because it doesnt work but because it does work and so thats what it comes to this border issue denies not a technical challenge go. To capitol hill you see its a technical challenge. Keep people out. They are good at that. Its a challenge of will and incentives. If you are importing long run voters in the democratic party, you are not going to need a particular rush to actually stop that long wave influx thats what is going on. Laura egg pass area of texas where all the migrants coming through. They caught one of the illegal aliens wearing a bidenharris shirt, watch. [speaking spanish] [laughter] laura thats a riot. They are laughing at every step of the way. And do you know what . If you are playing for that team, they are signaling exactly who they want to vote for. Heres the other thing that is pretty remarkable, laura, in principle Election Integrity at this, voter i. D. At the ballot box and the issue of illegal immigration and Border Security are two separate issues. What is remarkable is that the very people who favor porous borders or poor Border Security are also the ones who favor lowered requirements for voting. So these issues i think are intimately labeled laura do you think illegals will be voting in the next election. Inevitably a lot of seepage and long run play. Look at what democrats were saying this is now considered a Conspiracy Theory of sorts on the right, its a conspiracy reality because democrats have been saying it for 10 years. This was their way of actually laura whats their. No one voted for this and they dont care. Supposedly the great defenders of democracy. Nobody wants this open border. No one wants these endless wars. No one i knows wants endless wars the washington contingent and washington crowd might. Most people do not want these policies and they literally do not care. A nation without borders is not a nation. I dont care if you are a democrat or republican or independent, most people in country agree on that. Up to us now to step up and make that our vision rather than complaining what the other side is doing. I think if we do that we win. Laura today the house passed Laken Riley Act only 37 democrats voted for it. One explained his decision. The bill says if you are arrested, that you could be detained indefinitely. Have someone detained without that due process i think is unamerican. Right. Even if that person allegedly goes on to kill a beautiful Nursing Student on the University Of Georgia Grounds . Well, obviously that is horrific, what he did which was steal 200, i dont think people would have been able to draw a direct correlation between everyone who steals 200 and being a brutal murderer. Laura they are fine with criminals being here. They are more interested in the Due Process Rights of illegal aliens who never should have been here than they are the Due Process Rights of people languishing in prison here in the United States because they didnt have the right political view. The first thing obvious observation of the difference between George Floyds death and laken riley death. Look at the responses of the same Political Party to those two deaths. Its a travesty. Heres the other thing, laura. We have made a mistake in this country that its time to actually correct. Citizens who are here legally versus noncitizens who entered illegally. Do not enjoy the same rights. And i think lets even go to the 14th Amendment. Birthright citizenship does not apply to the kids of illegals. So supreme should read the 14th Amendment really carefully where a lot of the due process under the law and other attributes are guaranteed. Laura constitutionally about it but we could win that debate. Win that debate easily subject to the jurisdiction thereof in the 14th Amendment. My suggestion to the left when they complain about the 14th Amendment is actually try reading it. Many of them havent given that a try first. We are on the winning side of that. Laura do you think any of this is going to work tonight for biden . Its going to make any difference whatsoever. I think the stakes are very high. They are have undoubtedly prepped him got him offer whatever Energy Enhancements he is going to need going into tonight to make sure this is effective performance. The reality is they might do themselves a favor if he actually craters so they can do what i think many want to do anyway which is to sideline him by the summer and really restart the Election Process then. Laura you are a betting man. I will bet you thats never happened. Do you want to put money on that. I think its 50 50. People of vested interest to keep him there. At the same time a bait and switch operation is a trap we cant afford to fall into. Laura he is their best option. Thats the truth. You know business. I know. This hes their best option. They dont have anyone better than biden. Thats the truth. I think the reality is he is a puppet they can control. That much i will agree with you on. His mental fatalities thats not a bug but a feature for them because it allows them to control him. More recently they have lost their use. People stopping at nothing to keep donald trump out of office. I think they will stop at nothing here as well. Laura you know something about politics. I wasnt trying to say you know nothing about politics. Im proudly an newcomer. Laura in the swamp you feel it . Im eager to leave. Laura vivek, great to see you as always. President biden preparing plenty of spin, of course about the economy tonight. Larry kudlow is here. Hes going to help us kind of sift through this all in the swamp. Dont go away.

Com compare the stories the state the country was in when donald trump left to where it is now, wages, everything going in the right direction economically. When we talk about 14 million jobs created, unemployment under 4 , wages have gone up, that did not happen by accident. Laura well, nice try. But heres the truth. When they tell you wages are up, thats a lie. In fact, real wages are down 2 . A gallon of gas now costs 42 more since biden took office. Groceries effects all of us, up 25 . Do you know what else is up . Credit card debt, spiking 47 since biden took office. One other when the white house says, which they are saying a lot now, look at the stock market, its an alltime high, first they laughed at trump when he said that second, when trump took office, the dow was at 19,827. Shot up to 30,996 when he left office. Thats an increase of 56. 3 . Today, the dow closed at 38,791, compared to 30,996 when biden took over. Thats an increase of 25. 1 . Remember trump had to overcome covid whereas biden got the benefits of the end of covid. He should have run with it. Joining me now larry kudlow, host of larry kudlow on fox business, former chair of the National Economic council under President Trump. Larry, does the biden spin win . They are going to really try again and they shouldnt because the facts are completely at loggerheads. At one point i want to make when joe biden came into office, the economy was growing at 6. 5 with an Inflation Rate less than 1. 5 . Those are facts. Thats not politics. Those are factoids pure and simple. The other thing i want to say is you compare trump wages under donald trump, average this is the most important measure you can have for Working Folks, average weekly wages, okay . Adjusted for inflation, okay . They have gone down almost 5 after three years of joe biden. Similarly under trump, they went up 9 . We have the i mean i will tell you what it was, january 2017, okay, 366 a week. Thats what you made. When Trump Left Office in january 21, 3,999 a week now now 399. January 24, 380, its gone down 4. 9 in three years plus under joe biden. People took a pay cut in the biden years. Laura they feel it. Thats why his coalition is falling apart. The doesnt change the facts. Cant change the facts. Laura msnbc, larry, tried to talk to voters about the economy. Well, didnt go so well for them. Wages are up. Inflation is easing, stock market are doing well. They feel about the economy day to day . Im not sure i agree with what you just said. Everything you have to buy every day is way more expensive than previous years. Laura this was in erie, pennsylvania, larry. Thats good news for trump. Thats bad news for the people there. Working folks, not the richest, Working Folks see essentials just cost a lot more. Whether its gasoline, or whether its groceries, and you were running to some of these price increases. Look, i will say Federal Reserve has brought down the yearly Inflation Rate, okay a bit . Yes, they have. Laura never leafed to be there, larry. In the first place. Joe biden three years plus Inflation Rate 6 at annual rate. 6 . Under donald trump, the cpi was 1. 9 for his entire four year period. Laura mortgages were flying. People were buying home. People were positive. Consumer confidence was up. 2. 5 on a 30 year mortgage right now is over 7 . Take you about 1,100 a month more to buy the same basket of groceries than it did four years ago. Laura larry, i have been it dying to talk to you about. This just stuff. Laura really quickly because they are going to yell at me. When biden talks about shrinkflation has the municipalities. Its annoying when packages are smaller. Cookie monster. Laura yeah, why are companies forced to do that now without losing money. Because their Raw Material Prices have shot up. Laura thank you. Labor costs have shot up. Either they jacked up prices, which turns off consumers or they give you a few fewer potato chips to hold market share. They are caught between a rock and hard place. Laura what are they supposed to do. Because of bidenflation. He cause it. Great to see you in person as always. Thanks for having me. Laura youre welcome. Biden will push for more ukraine funding tonight. He knows support for that is waning. He sent john kerry out with the solution. Kevin has all the details. Laura, listen, if you could steal the phrase whats you talking about willis into a single quote. The climate czar john kerry what he just said might just top the list. This weakery seemed to suggest that the world might feel better about the ongoing blood shed caused by russia in ukraine if, thats right, if it cut its emissions. Quote if russia wanted to show good faith, they could go out and announce what their reductions are going to be to be and make a greater effort to reduce emissions, maybe that would open up the door for people to feel better about what russia is choosing to do at this point in time. Say what . Now, normally, this is the part where you would use a clip from that movie you know naked gun where everybody slaps their forehead in unison because you cant just make this stuff up. Needless to say over on capitol hill even democrats were hardpressed to explain kerrys jawdropping gaffe. I cant defend that. Thats an absurd comment. Look, Putin Biggest Crime is the invasion of ukraine and killing innocent people and to think that if you had Better Climate policy that that would in any way excuse a brutal war is just foolishness, he should certainly retract that statement and i really dont know what the guy was thinking. Ro khanna straight shooter online radio reaction as you can imagine was pithy. At this point the Biden Administration is like a Continuous Snl Skit said texas senator ted cruz on x. Others piled on with one social media user calling kerry a raving lunatic and a climate clown. Laura . Laura climate clown. Kevin, great to see you as always. A former nikki haley donor says, well, her g. O. P. Days are nourished. If she doesnt do one thing right now. Hes next. More flexible way to move, with pods. Save up to 20 now for a limited time.

Laura now, nikki haley is known to be very smart. But she wouldnt listen. You got to know when to hold them, you got to know when to fold them. Its time for her to fold them. She has absolutely no chance. Why humiliate yourself in South Carolina and lose by 31 points in your home state . Its political suicide. Laura that was from a nikki haley donor. Now being praised by the left and supporters courted by the biden campaign. I think the state of the union is going to serve as another moment to further cement the choice in this election for the american electorate at large and of course for nikki haley supporters as well. You saw between 7 and 8 and 10 of these haley voters say they are not committed to voting for donald trump this november. So we see these as opportunities. Joining me now is andy former nikki haley donor, current of melt corporation. Welcome back. How do you think haley has played this . Thank you for having me, laura. And what do we know today we didnt know yesterday . We knew that she had no path. Unfortunately, she was misled by her fundraisers and handlers telling her what she wanted to hear. Not what she should hear. Then she proceeded with the alabama following agreeing with alabamas decision on ivf knowing that she even has two ivf kids. Now, i think the real mistake, when she entered these five debates, she pledged to no matter who were the republican nominee was that she would support that nominee knowing very well there was a strong possibility of it being donald trump. Coming from the trading business, your word is your bond. And in my opinion, nikki haley must keep her word. If she wants credibility and she wants to be trusted going forward. Laura heres the problem. You got Mitch Mcconnell endorsing trump. Im sure he is not thrilled about it but he endorsed trump. John thune endorsed trump. He wants to be the next leader of the Republican Party. You got john cornyn, number establishment guy endorsed trump. I mean, people are lining up, Business People are lining up. He is meeting with a lot of big deal Business People now. Wall street people showing up to have dinner with him. They know kind of where things are headed and they want to, you know, cover their bases but she seems to think that he owes her something at this point. Well, she already committed suicide. She is adding to it. Im a big fan of Mitch Mcconnell, but nobody has been called worse names and more names by donald trump than Mitch Mcconnell. But hes a class act. Is he a real Martin Luther king. Real he came back andwants te party. America has a real problem with biden getting reelected. Laura oh god, no. Sit down and say to themselves what about Kamala Harris . There is probably a better than 50 or 60 chance that youre going to deal with a Kamala Harris presidency if biden wins in november. Lawyer layer we should just have the Bumper Stickers kamala 2024 and get more people to vote. Andy, great to see you. Thanks so much. While President Biden gets ready to leave the white house for the state of the union, donald trump has a plan to hit back in real time. Oh, i love. This Mollie Hemingway, ari fleischer, they are here to react, next. Israel is under attack. The war against israel began with the murder of hundreds of precious children. In this orphanage bomb shelter, were praying for gods 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 cant 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. Theyre 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 were also praying and acting in their interest because we believe its what god would have us do. I simply cant stress enough the urgency of this situation. Its more dire than ever before. This is your moment. This is your opportunity to make a lifesaving difference. Its your prayers and gifts that give hope to the people of israel. Call, scan, or visit our website now to make your lifesaving donation. Laura in about 30 minutes or so biden will get into his motorcade and head over to capitol hill where is he going to try to defend the indefensible, what he has done to this country. For a preview we go live to the white house with foxs own peter doocy. Hes standing by. Peter . Peter laura, we have seen this over the last couple months the trend is poll after poll find a lot of people going to be watching the president for the first time in a while thinking he has more issues with his Mental Sharpness than President Trump does. Part of the president s approach is going to be tell these people watching trump four years younger is actually the same age. They gave us this excerpt. Part of it says my lifetime taught me to embrace freedom and democracy the future core honesty, dignity equality to respect everyone to give everyone a fair shot. To give hate no safe harbor. Now, some other people, my age, see a different story, An American Story Of Resentment Beings Revenge and retribution, thats not me. The president is also going to try to pitch a unity agenda on things Like Fighting fentanyl that everybody likes. That officials hope could appeal to moderate republicans. But at the same time, he plans to put republican lawmakers down, specifically for killing a bipartisan border deal and for hostility as he sees it to what biden officials call reproductive rights, specifically access to abortions and ivf. Officials are also saying they know the talk about israel and gaza tonight could be very emotional, even for people in their own parties, so the speech prep has included practice for how to deal with hecklers from his own party and at the moment, even though we are about an hour away from the president leaving here to go over there are about 100 protesters who are trying to obstruct the motorcade. Specifically people who want President Biden to be tougher on israel and more sympathetic to the cause of a ceasefire. You can see it there. These guys are in the street. The Secret Service has multiple ways they could go to the capitol. Its not likely that this is going to cause any kind of a delay to the speech. But, they are going to have to get a bunch of plastic handcuffs out pretty quick so they can start on time. Laura . Laura all right, peter, great to see you. Joining me now Mollie Hemingway editor and chief at the federalist. Ari fleischer former White House Press secretary. Both are fox news contributors. Ari it does appear that biden has some really hard core fans located around that motorcade route. A decent crowd, maybe 100 or so. Cant tell from the pool shots we have. They are not happy biden is now going to put a port in using our military to help hamas with Americans Still held hostage there. But is he thinking that is going to help him politically. Thoughts tonight . Yeah. A couple things. Number one, if this little protest tonight just wait until chicago. Just wait for the democrats gather in chicago. What you are seeing tonight is nothing. Chicago going to likely be mayhem for the democrats. As for that port that he is going to announce tonight to bring allegedly humanitarian relief to the people in gaza, that is not to bring relief to the people in gaza. It is much more to bring relief to joe biden in michigan. Thats what that is about. That is one of the most overuses of the military to secure a political purpose at home. He is so worried about losing votes from the Arab Community in michigan, thats what is motivating him to do this. And he is going to lose on that front. I cant wait for the speech tonight to hear what he says about hamas. Is he trying to have it both ways. And you cant do that on the issue like this. He is alienating americas jewish community, which is overwhelmingly voting block and Arab Community. Is he going to end up with the worst of both worlds. Laura mollie, i have enjoyed thoroughly over the last, you know, 48 hours, the medias big build up to tonight and their claims about trump as poor biden has struggles off the cuff comments. Nicolle wallace and rachel maddow, they had some interesting comments. Lets play them. America becoming a threat, which is what it becomes, a threat to the world order if trump is reelected a known known. Project of the Republican Party is to install a strong man form of government in the United States and get rid of democracy. And that is the project of electing donald trump. Laura so they are to lead us to believe there will never be another elections in the United States. I dont think theres a person on the planet who actually believes that and i dont think they believe it. I dont think there is anyone who believes that but they also have the problem that President Biden and his Department Of Justice are right now engaged in the retribution and retaliation that he says that he needs to be reelected to prevent. Thats what the Department Of Justice is doing. Its one of the reasons why his polling is so poorly. But, as far as the world situation, too, even this protest tonight shows another problem that he has relative to President Trump. You remember, during the trump presidency, that he was you saw peace breaking out all over the world, including in the middle east. And President Biden who claimed he would be a very good Foreign Policy president had been overseeing quite a bit of chaos around the world. Laura ari, chaos as far as the eye can see in the middle east in america. Tonight, this is just as you said a sliver of evidence of what biden is going to face at his own convention. But, the people are not happy about the migrant crime, taking resources from hardworking americans. People are, you know, i hate the word, pd. Off and they are mad. They feel like nobody is representing them exexcept that guy donald trump. Inflation is still the leading issue in the United States, even more than the border. Its because people are still suffering from it every day. And theres nothing joe biden can say tonight or do tonight that really is going to reverse that i have been in the white house where you try to craft a speech for a president whose popularity was on the decline. And you are looking for the right words, the right language. But events are bigger than any one president s words on any one given night. People understand that when you give a speech, you are packaging it, you are putting it together. Its a wish list. But then they go right back to their reality the next morning when they get off the couch. And thats why theres really little that to anything joe biden can do tonight to reverse those fortunes. The only thing that can help joe biden is if either he gets younger and healthier between now and the election or inflation and the economy really do change dramatically between now and november. Laura thats not happening. No. I mean, the feds, pulling Interest Rates down. You will see a lot of people wondering how interesting since inflation really isnt coming down as rapidly as they predicted. But theres an issue about mental acuity. They are trying to compare trump to biden. And you saw that with people my age bull. This is what happened with the conversation between jake tapper and chris coons. Watch this. Former President Trump is saying that he wants to debate joe biden any time anywhere any place. Is that a good idea . I wouldnt encourage it but i dont think the campaign or the president has made a decision yet. Are you saying that President Biden should not debate former President Trump . I think thats up to him. Laura thats your answer, mollie, he will never debate donald trump. Except thats a problem for him. He has he has a situation where people know that he is struggling with his mental acuity. They need to see him debate. They need to see that he is able to handle the situation. And so if he refuses to debate, and i understand why people would want to avoid it, it only reinforces for people that problem. Its not just mental acuity. It is the policies that people dont like. It is. Laura results. He could change those policies and he is refusing to do that. And so the policy is whether its on the border, with Foreign Policy, with the economy, with crime. Those are the things that people dont like. Even more than they dont like the fact that he doesnt seem to be all there. Laura ari, they keep thinking this is a comms problem. So the comms team is essentially running this white house as far as i can tell. By the way, we have another excerpt from the speech tonight. He says that he is going to say i came to office determined to get us through one of the toughest periods in our nations history and we have. It doesnt make the news but in thousands of cities and towns American People are writing the greatest come back story never told. Ari, i think the greatest come back story thats in the offing is trumps ascendensy. I think thats probably right, laura. They shouldnt even try. It is a political mistake and communications mistake to try to tell the American People that which you earnestly believe and feel is wrong and you need to change your beliefs. Its just not going to work. This is an emotional issue. Its an emotional reaction to bidens bad policies because people see whats going on in the border is wrong. What is happening, inflation, hurts. And you cant tell people deny what youre feeling. Thats what this white house is trying to do. It just wont work. Laura mollie, quickly, young people dont really watch politics as much as the rest of us do. They will catch bits and pieces of this. Will this change any minds . I doubt that this will make a huge the only thing that would make a huge splash is if he really does fail to deliver this speech but he will probably handle it just fine and it will not matter much at all. Laura reading a teleprompter he actually did do that decently. Mollie and ari, great to see you. Thank you so much. That is it for us tonight. Stay with fox all night for the state of the union coverage. Thank you for watching. Jesse watters takes it from here. Its america now and forever.
