Starting point is 00:01:50 administration, I'm sorry when it's happening on your watch. And if this were a Democrat, I'd say the same thing when it's happening on your watch. You are responsible. The buck stops with you. Stop deflecting blame. Show some solutions, specific solutions so that we can all be safe. That was a host on state regime media known as Fox right there calling out the current regime for its dangerous, dangerous handling of the FAA and across its agencies. That's on Fox. But of course, you then have other hosts on state regime media known as Fox, like Jesse Waters, saying, look, the United States just needs to steal land. That's what we do in the United States. Let's steal Greenland. Let's take land, manifest destiny. We need conquest. This is

Starting point is 00:02:39 pathetic, vile host from Fox, Jesse Waters, play this clip right here. And he's also talking about, he doesn't like Trump talking about expanding. The United States has always expanded either by force or we buy things. We bought Alaska from the Russians. We bought half the country from the French. We beat the Mexicans, the Native Americans, the Spanish, the British. That's how we do things here. It's manifest destiny. And if we find out that we need Greenland as a matter of national survival, of course, any president, Republican or Democrat, should get it by any means necessary. And it looks like right now we have our intelligence agencies in Greenland on the ground right now ensuring that they vote for independence. That's right. You know, when you say things like that, Jesse, I know you think that that's,

Starting point is 00:03:24 you know, funny or that's entertainment or anger, taming or rage baiting for your audience20 million homes and behave the way you do, like a reckless maniac, while you cause harm to the American people, you and other state regime media hosts. Here's Will Kane, who's trying to be like Jesse Waters, and Jesse Waters trying to be like Tucker Carlson with MAGA Republican Congress member Anna Paulina Lunon. And here they're talking about they got to go after Dr. Fauci. That's how they spend their day. Go after Fauci. Here, play this clip. And that's what I want to lean in on for a moment, Congresswoman, because I think at this point, everybody watching knows that Dr. Fauci lied. At a minimum, he played semantics over the definition

Starting point is 00:04:19 of gain of function, but that it amounted to a lie. Let's set aside the pardon for just one moment. I don't know if the pardon covers any potential accountability for perjury, but would you like to see, and I think everyone watching finally wants to hear about some form of accountability, would you like to see something done here by Attorney General Pam Bondi? Yes, and what I will tell you is to give assurance because I know people are tired of members of Congress sending strongly worded letters. I'm also very tired of that. I want to see action. I will look at doing a criminal referral for those statements.

Starting point is 00:04:51 I will go on record for that and I will do it as soon as I get back to my office. But what I also want to say is the attorney general has the ability to put some teeth behind what we are trying to do in Congress. Remember, Congress is not a punitive arm, although we reserve the right for inherent contempt. Having the Department of Justice for referrals, they need to really follow up. As you know, I also referred some of these sanctuary city mayors. So I do believe what he did was wrong. I do believe that he needs to be brought to justice. And I will happily authorize a criminal referral. And I will also be asking Chairman Comer to help authorize that as well. Next up, I will show you Kevin Hassett right here, Donald Trump's national economic advisor on Laura Ingraham play this clip. Well, the scaremongering is happening

Starting point is 00:05:31 now, but I can tell you that I get real time data every day on whether there are shortages and I can report that there are still plenty of things on the shelves. There were a couple of weeks where shipping from China was lower, but now shipping from a lot of other countries is going way, way up. So people don't have to be worried about what the scaremongers are saying. These policies are onshoring jobs, onshoring production. You can see it in the jobs data. You can see it in the explosion in manufacturing jobs already, even before the tariffs came in. The way to think about it for me, Laura, is that President Trump did something last time, looked and saw that it really worked. And now he's doing more of it a little bit bigger. But that's what you should do. You should do

Starting point is 00:06:07 something, see if it works or not, and then change. And that's what he's doing. He's ramping up the ante because he saw that it worked in the past. And here they are bragging about how the federal government is unlawfully taking away $2.2 billion from Harvard, and they're celebrating this like it's a good thing. Yeah, celebrate the fact that you're gutting America's top university, and now our top professors and scientists are being recruited by Europe, by China, and by other nations, you freaking moron, state regime media. Great to celebrate this as now brain drain is taking a hold and the brand of America has been damaged by morons like you. Here, play this clip right here. Good evening, everyone. I'm Laura Ingraham. This is the Ingram Angle from Washington

Starting point is 00:06:58 tonight. Big news for the Crimson, as in the Harvard crimson. You know, Harvard University's motto is veritas, truth. And the truth is tonight, Harvard just lost 2.2 billion with a B federal dollars. You ever look back at the wallet that you used to carry and cringe? Well, mine was like this giant crusty leather brick that barely fit in my pocket. And don't even get me started on the back pain from sitting uneven. Then I found Ridge and I'm obsessed.

Thank you. I do want to show this other moment, though, when Fox was covering the congressional hearings that was taking place. And they pointed out a moment where these MAGA Republicans were trying to make

Starting point is 00:08:35 it seem like the head of the United States Fencing Association was giving the middle finger to a selfie photo. But then as a Democratic congresswoman pointed out, Marjorie Taylor Greene and the MAGAs manipulated the photo. He had two fingers up and they cut off one finger to make it look like he was giving the middle fingers. Play this clip, but then I'll explain to you. Ben, what are you fencing? What are you talking about here? Play this clip. I had already spent the money on competition fees and new equipment and spent hours training i felt trapped i had been defrauded of a women's tournament and sold a lie by usa fencing now one big fight martha has been over a picture of the chairman uh chairwoman marjorie taylor green actually brought it up during the hearing and democrats uh said this was a big misrepresentation. Watch this.

Starting point is 00:09:27 Mr. LaFelte came in here today saying that this is game day. You're right, Mr. LaFelte, this is game day. The document that you have up behind you is a misrepresentation of the actual post. It appears that you're trying to misrepresent a witness here who you use subpoena powers. Yes, folks, fencing. Why fencing? I'll do a whole other video on this today. But the MAGA Republicans did a hearing for their doge, government efficiency, whatever the hell they're talking about, which, by the way, is going to cost trillions of dollars, add trillions of dollars to our deficit and has saved nothing. It's stolen your data, by the way. But the Doge hearing led by Marjorie Taylor Greene, they had the head of USA fencing because they wanted to talk about how there was a trans

Starting point is 00:10:13 fencer, a transgender fencer, and that that was offensive to them. Even though the fencing USA gets no money from the federal government. Anyway, I'll do another video on that. Laura Ingraham then asked Kevin Hassett, Trump's national economic advisor, about firing Jerome Powell. Play this clip. For heart of hearts, do you believe that Jay Powell is acting more politically than economically? I won't comment directly on Jay Powell, but I do know that there is a committee at the Fed right now that's been appointed mostly by Biden people,

Starting point is 00:10:51 and they have a worldview that's inconsistent with the facts of the previous term. Don't forget, when we had the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that created the explosion in wages, the reduction in income inequality, the massive explosion in jobs, all the time the Fed said, this is going to be inflationary.

Starting point is 00:11:07 And it wasn't. By the way, this guy, Kevin Hassett, is an idiot. He's wrong about everything. This is the guy right before the dot-com bubble bursted in 2000. He's like, it's about to soar. And it bombed. This guy's wrong about literally everything. I think it was he and Peter Navarro.

Starting point is 00:11:25 Remember, they guaranteed. Remember, they said, we guarantee you quarter one will not have any contraction at all. We will grow. There will not be negative GDP. Well, they're just wrong about everything. And they just move on to the next lie. Here's Kevin Hassett again attacking the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell. Play this clip. Well, first, we respect the independence of the Fed, but I don't always agree with Chairman Jay

Starting point is 00:11:50 Powell on policy. And I still, as I said before, in the last few weeks after the president talked about the Fed again, that I'm dismayed that they've got bad economic modeling of what might happen to tariffs. They said, you know, if you look at the Wall Street folks, they're saying that the tariffs are going to crater the economy. Meanwhile, we got really strong jobs and we don't have the inflation that they said was going to happen. And so to have the Fed out there job boning against the president's policies, I you know, they didn't do that when Joe Biden was printing money and spending it and creating 20 percent inflation. And so it just makes me wonder about like what's wrong with their models or what's wrong with their politics then on uh hannity uh you had josh howley uh talk about you know these people live on different planets they're from different they're from mars this guy

Starting point is 00:12:37 talking about playing this clip these people live on a different planet sean they're totally out of touch with reality donald trump is turning the country around in 100 short days, and that's why they're desperate. The Democrats are totally desperate. They're jetting around now to foreign countries to hold hands with terrorists. Here he is blaming the current rising inflation and former President Biden. Let's play it. Hilarious is that Joe Biden and Buttigieg and all the rest, they now act like they have no idea how the country got into this state. I mean, my gosh, inflation is really high. Gee, how did that happen? I don't know. Maybe it's because Joe Biden shut down American energy production, spent three, four trillion dollars on Green New Deal giveaways. And may I just contrast that to some normalcy here as well? Like Minnesota

Starting point is 00:13:21 Governor Walz was on MSNBC last night, and here's what he said. Let's play the clip. You know, he told you he would end the war in Ukraine. He would bring prices down, eggs. And now telling people, when did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? I mean, this was my whole point about this. You know, government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest. That is, it's insane.

Starting point is 00:13:44 It's a command economy with him dictating. It is no free market principles. My farmers have worked years to cultivate markets in a free market around the world. And we have thrived at that. We feed the world. We clothe the world. We power the world. Donald Trump is now deciding that he gets to do all of that. And the real thing is, is to enrich the industries he chooses. He's picking the winners and losers. And in this case, the billionaires are winning. to enrich the industries he chooses. He's picking the winners and losers. And in this case, the billionaires are winning. The rest of us are losing. Here he is again. Play the clip. I don't know this for my amateur psychologist. I think he listened to one class when he was back in the 80s or something at Wharton in his six months there or whatever. And he misreads this.

Starting point is 00:14:23 It's a ludicrous philosophy. No one agrees with him. And then they come back to, well, Democrats put tariffs on. Yes, they're a tool. They're a scalpel. You can use them when you have unfair practices. But he's talking about the thing that drives me insane with working with Canada and Mexico. He's the guy who negotiated the deal. And then he turns around and says, well, we don't care much about Canada. I was glad to see the prime minister coming in from Canada saying, are you out of your mind? We're your biggest trading partner. They are our biggest trading partner in Minnesota. They're our dearest friends. They're who we care about. He has no concept. This goes back to that idea. So many Americans thought, you know, we need to hire a businessman to run government like business.

Starting point is 00:15:06 Two things about that are wrong. No, we don't need to run government like a business because we're not in the profit making. We're in the proving lives and looking towards the future. And this guy has a proven track record of being an absolute failure. And I think the opening for Democrats is is to work with the business community. I am home to many large Fortune 500 companies that are put at risk by this. And I'll just say this. I'm calling these folks out. They need to stand up. He threatens them. He threatens universities.

Starting point is 00:15:37 Thank goodness Harvard's standing up to them. But that's how he gets things done. He doesn't get it done through competency. He doesn't get it done through results. He doesn't get it done through results. He gets it done through fear, intimidation. And I'm with you. I wish he could have been weirdly obsessed with like pickleball or something rather than tariffs.

Starting point is 00:15:54 That's where he could spend his time. But it's on this tariff thing that doesn't work. And here's Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Let's play it. They also were supposed to have a markup as it relates to agriculture and snap benefits cutting 220 billion dollars from snap when people only get six dollars a day to eat in snap benefits for those that do receive it and the last time i

Starting point is 00:16:15 checked you probably can't get 12 eggs for that amount of money and so instead of doing it literally there was a leak and a story that came out where a staffer said, no, we want to make sure we can flood the zone. So whenever we do this, we're going to make sure that these committees are going to be at the same time. Like the fact that you're hiding from your constituents, the fact that you literally just are like, let me just throw everything at you so that we can overwhelm you instead of actually doing your job. I cannot wait until voters have an opportunity to say, you took food out of my mouth. You took a roof from over my head. You are responsible for making sure that I do not have health care. I'm going to make sure you don't have a job.

Starting point is 00:16:56 Do you see the contrast there, folks? Do you see? Oh, let me show you the full clip of that Fox host, by the way, who I showed you at the beginning. Let's play it. They say what happened in Newark, we are seeing an increase in problems. And there weren't these problems in the past four years. Since January, there have been five significant crashes. That hasn't been since 2009. So if everything happened in the last four years and nothing happened during the last four years, I'm not buying it. Additionally, because it comes down to two things, staffing and equipment. And specifically, they say in Newark, it comes down to one copper wire. Pete Buttigieg specifically wanted the 50 airports in the United States that need to have fiber, that need to have internet and not copper. And he wanted those changed. People seem to think that,

Starting point is 00:17:44 you know, anybody who is in charge of the FAA can just, and People seem to think that, you know, anybody who is in charge of the FAA can just even the president can just, you know, write a check and hand it off. No, they can't. We have something called Congress. Those funds have to be approved with and from legislation that has to go through there. So, you know, for this administration right now to blame the former administration, I'm sorry when it's happening on your watch. And if this were a Democrat, I'd say the same. When it's happening on your watch, and if this were a Democrat, I'd say the same thing. When it's happening on your watch, you are responsible. The buck stops with you.

Starting point is 00:18:11 Stop deflecting blame. Show some solutions, specific solutions, so that we can all be safe. I flew into JFK last night, three and a half hour delay. But I am here. Thanks, Obama. You said something about five crashes being the worst. What did you mean by that? Since January, there have been five significant incidents.

Starting point is 00:18:30 And that's the worst you said? Since 2009. Yes. I would like a check on that. There you have it. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
