>> laura: good evening, everyone, i am laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" back in washington tonight. trump psalms, biden bumps. ti went back to read the expers were saying in the weeks andli months after the 2020 election and political headline blared, "the day that trump broke the g.o.p." it predicted a reckoning overim trump-is impurity he finished "the new york times" triumphantly. but surely expienc all of those experienced beltway pendants got it right though. speak with thee demise of trumt and there will be a demise.en >> the trial alone even without a conviction will be enough toth en pd donald trump's political career. >> he has very serious and with president trump yo liku have toe statements like that because he will change his mind and he wile still be here in two years. >> laura: last night after trump won every super tuesday primary except for the state of vermont, they couldn't get their minds wrapped around at all. >> it doesn't matter. this is trump's party almost like a cold. >> it is eight cultlike following we are seeing. for the sake of them tro all democracy.eo >> laura: sake of democracy but what these people do not understand is it'she not about s trump and he, himself often sayw he is a vessel for the hardworking americans who feeld. forgotten and even tormented by the corrupt dcu and a party. every time the radical left democrats marxist communist fashion is indict me i consider and honor because i'm beingan indicted for you t the american people.m si >> they wanted to silence made because i will never let them silent you and in the end they are not after me, they are after you, and i'm standing in the way. >> laura: it's not about a man, it's about a movement the claims that maga is a cold personality have always been fashion spirit it totally misses the mark and trump is getting stronger because his positions are getting more popular. back in 2016, many were skeptical about building a border wall or decoupling from china or doubting that we shoula stop fighting and funding soft ermany unnecessary wars. but now after three years of biden and remember how things wereth under trump, well, those views of his seem more common sense to more people. one would think that the idea of putting america first, you would thinyourk that would be fairly noncontroversial, you know, pu t your own oxygen mask on before you try to save others. but no, most of the swamp justr. think that is selfish to put america first. but the truth is trump has been right on the issues over and over again and it's paying off politically. also his prediction about what would happen to america under biden, it was spot on. >> if biden wins, your borders are gone which means your saf health care is gone, the middleo class is gone, your safety is gone, your country is gone.on that is what is going to happen. >> laura: only in washington with a consider a president's economic record a success whenl january 2021 to december 2023 real wages decline 2%. unbelievable! as much as teahim biden tries to spin this, you can't spin this. his record is horrendous. the cbs poll that came out tell. the tale, 65% the trump economy .as good only 39% of the same about biden's economy. biden's bumps along because thei plutocrats are opening theirth wallet big time to find his campaign. the last thing they want is trump who will get tougher on china and shut down the cheap migrane t labodor flooding acros the border. rich people don't like that.n' which brings me to what is nexte for biden's puppeteers. as big as trump's winds were last night and as bad asse biden's -- they do have a plan to win. first they will use money to drown trump adds an outreach with mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting where legal. second, they will hope for a conviction in one of those ridiculous criminal cases thinking that is going to turn o off enough voters to hurt trump. third, they will plate endless loops of january 6 so-calledt freedom agenda and argued that trump will be the age ofwi antidemocratic chaos.d and forth, they willas play the race card as usual, including arguing that requiring voter idea somehow rigged. t fifth, you can expect even more mail-in ballots than the last t election part of the overall campaign and sixth, they will have biden and surrogates try to get under trump's skin with insults and nasty foul that them hope turns off suburban moms. seven, finally, there is alwayts the unknown, the deep state. they know trump is determined to bring change to how the intelligence community operates, and they do not want that to happen. now, let me ask you about nikki haley today. she made herself relevant in my view. she dropped out a month too late and now she's getting closer and closer to lis yz cheney. she's being praised on cnn and msnbc by democrat strategist. she might have had a little bitk of leverage shortly after iowa but most of her voters were never trumpers or democrats or. leftists who will never ever vote for trump. >> t is it likely that haylee supporters out there could eventually wind up voting for biden? >> absolutely and look has she s appealed to more moderate republicans and certainly the independent voters.id she is appealing to the. independent voters and democrate who might vote for joe biden. so the fact those voters they have comgo te out for her, they could potentially go to biden.a spin went okay, that is absolutely false. this is th pere spin the media's shputting out there. she has no power over her supporters. she has no leverage to use those voters to pressure trump in one direction or another on n any issue, but that is a spin you heard all day long. even mcconnell and for whom the g.o.p. establishment in the senate, they had to wake up toha reality and indoor trump so where does that leave nikki haley in no-man's-land or no woman's land? now we need to know nikki haley's only victory again in the socialist loving vermont and in the swamp. so, this is going to be fascinating, trump, the ultimate comeback kid versus biden the octogenarian.tu it is all upre for grabs the future of america, trump versus biden. by nowle we know what that mean, trump has mailed it on every issue before us before the economy to immigration to rs, military intervention and reelecting biden means no more border, no no more debt, and me radical thing to hate america ad prosecution of christians and other social conservatives and w of course, you can bet more wars. for too long we have w been governed by people who don't really care whatk an we think an don't have our best interest at heart.angeat we can and's should change thisn november. and that is "the angle." joining a set now ned ryun founder and ceo of the majority and sean davis founder and ceo of the federals, ned, let's start with you. i love hearing this all day long and some last night that nikki haley has this big, big group of supporters to offer donald trump and they were catering to nikki all day longd on cnn, watch.n to >> untold going forward, shee does plan to play a role to ship this party. she does believe thawt sort of isolationist that issue emerged in the republican party is not good for the country.ea >> nikki haley said it is up to trump to earn the votes, and i hope he does that.he >> laura: ned, the guy who pretty much had historic ups returns is the one that likes to cater to nikki haley?e al what? >> that is absurd. and we all know it, laura appeared in a serious person knows that's not a seriousos comment to say nikki haley can bring voters to the table because we know most are democrats with open primaries and democrats can cross over. they were crossing over to voteo for nikki. they've never come to vote for donald trump. sti think what we saw last night was definitive rebuke of the old republicanment establishment ane republican party over. trump showing america first is descendant. folks like nikki haley and those d who support her will have to accept that is donald trump's g.o.p. moving forward.in one of the other questions that will be the central part of this campaign going into the generalu election is come are you better off now than you were four yearw ago? thure answer is definitively no, you're not better on your economy, immigration, trade, everything has collapsed underal biden. the real question moving forward is donald trump and the republican party whom are they going to be able to wed those winning policies with politics:e to be able to win in november? >> laura: cnn today, they were bothered by mcconnell's endorsement of trump, sean, watch. >> you can almost see the imagery of him putting this tomo paper through gritted teeth. >> this is not just mcconnell falling in line.it this is the republican party establishment. >> think we will have to be c united going into the fold. >> i think president trump is cleaning joe biden's clock. >> laura: many twists and turns.tng these people, the banner and all the experts get it wrong. p these people predicted that donald trump had never unite the republican party again after january 6th. 's obituary was written,rong political obituary, all of them wrong. they always fail upward, andsa they are still on tv saying, "nonsense." >> it is because they don't cara about beinntg right but they wat to program for people to believ whatto they want them to bleed. the effect of the matter come iv you talkot to voters outside of the swamp or talk to them about what they are concerned about what theit wy want out of their leaders commit is obvious trump would always win this primary running away. absolutely obvious and odds-on n favorite to wiown the general election right now becausete somehow d.c. is so out of touch it took took a reality start in real, real estate tycoon that he was the one who cared about the american people cared about, which is and the chaos, crime, strong borders and no more wars. that is what he's delivered on. spin went last msnbc was really annoyed. one ofcide their anchors in particular because msnbc decided to actually cover breaking news event, watch. balance between knowing that is irresponsible to broadcast and also knowing that as defective, soon to be t defective know nominee of the republican party, this is notidn only the man who was likely to be the republican candidate for president but this is the way he is running. >> laura: ned, they want himpres silenced as the g.o.p. presumptive nominee, period! >> no come if they have their way come of course, media blackout and donald trump would not have coverage moving into te summer and through the fall. it will be hard to ignore donald trump. and again, laura, his message resonates despite what these people are saying. it not only listed mates withivl the republican party and theprim base definitively last night which a lot of these primaries were decided three, 50 points but with independence.e the effect of the matter is,nt despite what he is saying he ise leaving joe bidessn with a dependence by 50 points in the polls. and it appeals to thet independents who are realizing come again, our lives are not better under biden.k they were better enter trump here in lifeclud was better undr trump and including independence firmly come to that conclusion. >> laura: sean, that is an example of media censorship ofi one candidate, one party becausa as nedn- said, they are afraid african americans, latinos whoht might catch clips if not watching television, everyone might catch a clip on youtube ot x, instagram. they don't want those clips out there. in the only question is whether tech world is going tofi join in and try to put their finger on the scale as well. >> right. it shows they actually know deep down how much trouble they areba in and how unpopular the president is right now and how bad things are. because they know that if people hear the alternative message from someone like trump, theyw, are toast. u their only real solution right now, they can't prop up biden oo rdfix the economy. they decided they will not secure the border so all they can hope to do is shut up trump or throw him in prison. they are satisfied that is their campaign plan. >> laura: january 6, shut p trump up and put them in prison. that is the whole campaign, noui change in policy. good to see both of you. more unhinged reaction with trump's big wins and so hilarious we want to share it♪ with all of you. mike huckabee, sean duffy dissected all next. ♪ ♪ we

duffy fox news contributor. governor huckabee come i reallye did enjoy last night because trump is either to them hitler, pol pot stolen, anti-democracy but they are worried about people voting in november. your take how it's all gone. speak with these guys are cartoons, i mean, they really are pure their caricatures are reality. here is what inds amazing, they talk about hitler andtm totalitarianism, donald trumenpn his presidency never used the pl department of justice, the fbi, cia, irs to go after politicalmb enemies. joe biden has come obama did. remember the irs and remembere the tap phones of james rosen and his parents and the associated press under obama? these ar e people that just hate us. when i say us, i am talking half of america who kind of likes freedom, who enjoys being able to go to church and go hunting and on firearms and eat wild game because it is good and healthy and who just love america and believe that borders that are controlled, welcome legal immigrants but hate the idea someone would useat government to step on our necks and keep us from breathing andee tell us that we were safe if we went to a casino but we would idie if we went to church. a lot of us have had it up tot o year. and they are saying, that is it you or do we want donald trump because he will actually defend america as we love it, know it, and depicted in the constitution. what a novel idea. >> laura: john, joy reid was added it again. she got into the minds of the millions of voters who actuallyt turned out for trump, watch. >> republican voters don't vote that way. they thi don't go on economic st they were voting on race. they vote on this idea of invasion of brown people over the border. the ideapers they can't get whar job theyblac want, a black persn died so dry to the black colleges, get rid of the yard. that is what they are voting on,es a putting specifically on racial at this stage. >> laura: she also said biden's policies are benefiting republican voters. okay, sean, i must have missed that and all the economic goals. >> you have a huge significant increase in black voters votings for donald trump. byt the way, joy reid talking about republicans but i don't think she's ever met a realsh republican committee huntinge republican and pro-life republican. she has never met them so to comment why she bodes, she isre ucompletely off base. what you see is the screeching media, they are used to pickingt up and deciding who we can and cannot vote for. and 2016 realize american people for the first time made the decision for themselves and they wille do it again. if they can't stop it, they are besides themselves and to huckabee's point, to kickhe donald trump off of the bell, republicans never did that. c they would try to impeach or dor a coup from the intelligence community to shut down the president. republicans would never do that or silence -- listen, we want democrats to speak pure they are crazy. we want to hear the nutty things they say but they try to silence is on social media.li they talk about the radicalismsg or strongman. anit is unbelievable becausen de republicans are the exact spe opposite. we believe in democracy and the freedom of speech,th individual rights. if you want to taking e a vaccie that doesn't work and save your life, good for you but if youat don't want t'so

the economyr to immigration to even ukraine, there is not an inch of movement in that senate border bill a complete joke and we knew thatpe from the beginning and almost was2 million people.ca that was just a complete media clinical play. and so they won't move an inch to where the people are here anh so they spin it or will not show them on tv or put them in jail or in this report with theort people really think, racist. so they call trump a fanatic? they are the most fanaticy globalist out there and they will not budge 1 inch towards the people. they wonder why people are mad? >> i think they honestly believe they are just better than thea. rest of us appear that is what it comes down to, laura. u they are better than us, smarted than us, they are like the old character on "saturday night live" played where he said, "by golly, i'm good-looking, i'm smart, and i'e a good person." i think they look in the mirror and say to themselves everyday. the fact is we need to quit apologizing for who we are, boldly stand for what we stand for, because i think a lot more american stand for it than d mae they know. but they do control th soce med. they control social media. so, we have to get our messagegs out to the people every way possible. but one thin ng is clear after r last night, donald trump hasa wo revived this republican party as a working-class party. >> laura:

could change, in virginia. >> virginia has a border with west virginia. >> laura: so, so, virginia voters, they are laughing atnort them for caring about immigration. anyone who lives in northern virginia knows it is an epicenter of illegal aliened activity in northern virginia.e. we have ms-13, increased crime, it is a bad situation. but they laugh at it or they t say, it doesn't really matter. >> they laugh at it, laura,to illegal immigration, those illegals and those crimes are not coming into their gated communities and are not coming into their neighborhood so they don't see it
