Laura okay, you are too cool sean unless im forced to in social situations where i have to wear my best. Ive worn jeans when i interviewed President Trump, even. Laura fine, you are cooler than i am. Nice color coordination. All right, see you tomorrow night. Im laura ingraham, this is the Ingraham Angle from washington. Wegh are going to do things a little bit differently tonight. Now, the angle is not coming until a little later in the show, but everything we discussed will build to it, and you are going to see what we mean. Now along the way, youre going to hear from ric grenell, steve scalise, Dinesh Dsouza, on the left poisonous tactics to muzzle and target conservatives. Were also going going to dive into the controversy fitting main street against wall street, ng how it could change investing forever. But first, last night, we told you about a bizarre dhs Bulletin Warning of supposed threats from what they described as violent domestic extremists, vde. Of course, these extremists are people like you, who perhaps have questions about election fraud, or maybe even oppose lockdowns. But what was the exact nature of this threat they were writing about . Well, tellingly, dhs had to admit that it had no evidence of any specific threat. Its all basically in the realm of hypotheticals or potentiality. You know, potential threats posed by people like you. Again, people who voted for donald trump. Or but it wasnt just dhss Broad Brush Painting that set off alarm bells, it was how the media brought on former top intel officials to amplify partisan defamation. The threat from domestic violent extremist is much more challenging, i believe, that it was in terms of going after foreign terrorists. Far right extremist groups, White Supremacy groups, things like that, which really, acrosss the board, very concerning, potentially violent threats. This is one of the most serious terror threats we have seen in 20 years, since 9 11. Laura they brought on the allstars for that. The men you just saw use to occupy top government positions. A few of them at the highest levels of government, are now publicly indulging in these Revenge Fantasies against conservatives. Now, what putting in office the one president who stood up to the deep state bullies in the swamp. If this is what they are saying in public, and imagine they did behind closed doors. Tonight, were going to pose this question is it time to hit these Rogue Agencies where it hurts the most . Their budgets. In 2020, taxpayers gave the Intel Community 85. 8 billion. Thats almost 12 of the entire defense budget. They will get at least that, if more, this year. And instead of just acting as a rubber stamp maybe it is time for republicans to begin demanding some accountability in exchange for all this money. My first guest tonight is uniquely qualified to discuss this matter. Joining me now is ric grenell, former acting director of national intelligence. Ric, should i cut the funding be on the table, given what we now know they are going to be doingb to innocent americans . Look, lets take any agency that has a Credibility Problem. Any federal agency that has a Credibility Problem let the Intelligence Community has right now, should have politicians that are questioning whether or not they need increases. Have a problem in the Intelligence Community with politics. We have seen this the last four years. E the public doesnt trust the intelligence agencies. Weve also seen them get it wrong multiple times. Remembering, intelligence is an estimate. Now, i want to be very clear that we, have many careerav intelligence officials who are very good, and to hate the leaks and the politics of this, but some of the people that you just played, who are now trying to say that extremism is only on one side, are the same people who signed the letter right before the election and told us that Hunter Bidens laptop was russian disinformation. This is the ultimate politics of intelligence. When you havent seen anything, but you go out right before an election and say, dont look at thatce laptop. Dont dig deep into that, because that is just russian disinformation. 50 former intelligence officials 50 signed a Letter Saying dont look at the hunter biden laptop because its just russian disinformation. They did that three weeks before the election. Outrageous. Laura well, you just mentioned those distinguished former intel folks in the intro. Now, listen to what another former fbi agent said on msnbc today. Ge going to find out there is a lot more Organization Behind what happened on january 6th, andd its going to look a lotan worse than anything weve seen in america, when we are talking about al qaeda or isis. If you took what President Trump said and you instead put it in anwarns alawlakis mouth, we would be talking about a Drone Striketh overseas. Laura the fact that this man ever worked for the fbi is terrifying. Yeah, its really, you know, disgusting, how we have so many people they just want to manipulate intelligence. This is a real crisis that we have, and weve seen it over the last four years with this pushing of russian collusion, which we know through documents was flat out wrong. They continue to push the russian disinformation. It is, laura, the beijing lie. This is exactly what china wants our diplomats to do, to say, look at russia, ignore china. Look russia is a problem. We have to be very clear. Tebut china is a crisis. And to somehow pretend that russia is the one that we have to completely look at all of the time is really missing the forest from the trees. Laura i should say ric, great to see you tonight. Thanks for coming on. In the halls of congress, House Speaker nancy pelosi is using the false pretext of this right wing extremism to baselessly smear her g. O. P. Colleagues. We will probably need a supplemental form or security for members, when the enemy is within the house of representatives. What exactly did you mean when you said the enemy is within . It means that we have members of Congress Want to bring guns on the floor and have threatened violence on other members ofg congress. Laura is this how they intend to try to win back some of those seats they lost last time around . Smears everybody . Well, unity agenda. We heard a lot about that from biden, unifying the country around, what, erroneous smears at their concert of neighbors are waiting for a signal to begin a violent uprising . Of course, like bidens dhs, zero evidence that any of her colleagues are plotting to take our House Democrats. She knows she is lying. So why is she saying these vile things . Think of it. Very simply, this is a preview of the 2022 campaign. Pelosi and her pals, they know that middleclass americans are about to get just reamed on, financially, by bidens climate regs, so they are creating this distraction to paint their political opponents as murderous white supremacists. You cant vote for a white supremacist, right . Of course not. You can vote for a republican. Democrats governed through fear in order to keep you scared, and they hope, compliance. All the while, they raid your bank account and pay for Green Energy Boondoggles and private flights to the climate conferences. There is a flight in my danger the left inflammatory rhetoric could stoke real politicall violence by tarnishing all republicans as a racist of the state. Democrats are putting targets on the back of g. O. P. The g. O. P. Members and g. O. P. Supporters, and then fomenting real extremism. My next guest knows all too well the consequences of vilifying political opponents. Politically motivated violence almost cost him his life in 2017. Joining me now is House Minority whip, steve scalise. Congressman, thank you for joining us tonight. What is your message to nancy pelosi and the democrats afterg her slander against your party, without any specific evidence of what she was alleging . Laura, great to be with you, first o of all. But look, this is a dangerous kind of game that she is playing. You know, she needs to stop doing this because we have seent where this goes, if they try to demonize their opponents. It seems like thats all they know how to do, is throw out distractions. Look, in the last eight days, President Biden has probably killed over a million american jobs with these Executive Orders he did on everything from banning leases we see that in south louisiana, the damage it will do to hardworking jobs, to keystone, to the paris accord that is going to kill H Manufacturing in america, that is what theyve done in the policy, and so look, if there was a real, credible threat that she knew of, no matter who ithr is, a member of congress or somebody else, go to the authorities with that. And she didnt do that. She goes to the press, which tells you what she is really trying to do is scare people, create distractions. Another thing they are trying to do, laura, is take away our Second Amendment rights. Make t no doubt laura oh, you bet. With a bill to take away our Second Amendment rights. They are building this, oh, my god, everybody better be afraid of somebody with a gun, that is going to be there attempt to go take away the guns. Laura yeah [indistinct] laura congressman, i am so glad you brought this up. They are setting the stage to make a run on the guns of lawabidingey citizens, and with the violence, domestic extremists, we are hearing chatter, it dangerous enough, january 6, there is a congressman want to bring her guns, the Metal Detectors at the house i think that is exactly right, whether it is going after ammo with obscene taxes on ammunition, or other types of restrictions, i think you have just nailed it. I think that is exactly whats going on, and by the way, your pal, adam schiff, one of your colleagues, t is saying this abt folks like you. The g. O. P. Leadership is becoming little more than a cult, and a dangerous cult. Dont know how many years going to take for that party to purge itself of donald trump, the g. O. P. Is still in the thrall of donald trump, notwithstanding, how much death and destruction he has brought. Laura from the man who began the russia collusion cult, congressman, your reaction . Consider the source. And you are right, hes got his own cult of just people that just hate donald trump, and they spent years going after him every single way, accusing him of things that werent true. Theim russian collusion, all of these hoaxes and impeachment that was based on a phone call where the two people participating in the phone call both said it was a great call, and they impeached him anyway p because they just never wanted him to be president. They wanted to reverse the 2016 election. Look, people know what this is all about. They are literally destroying american jobs as we speak there forr the people going to be hit hardest, by the way, are lowincome people. Your energy costs will go up laura they are already going up. Theyre flying on their own private jets. Laura we are getting to that. John kerry has private the hypocrisy on the left is out of control. We are seeing it in there trying to change the subject because they dont want you watching what they are actually doing laura congressman, yes or no, will louisianans allow their Second Amendment rights to be diluted by these people, yes or no . Absolutely not. Not going to happen. Laura congressman, great to see you. Thank you so much. It is not just pelosi, the radicall Democrat Party who have no interest in uniting anyone. Look at the Aoc Rebuke Ofar senator ted cruzs attempt to reachh across the aisle. Aoc sent a tweet out condemning the appalling behavior of the Stock Trading Apps like robinhood for blocking people from trading certain stocks, protect wall street bigwigs, and she wrote, as a member of the Financial Services committee, i support a hearing, if necessary. To which senator cruz responded, fully n agree. So you would think aoc would be delighted to do something on a bipartisanso basis, right . Isnt that what they always claim they wanted . But instead, she fired back, saying, i am happy to work with republicans on this issue where there is common ground, but he almost had me murdered three weeksth ago, so you can sit this one out. Happy to work with most any other g. O. P. That is a grammatical error that arent trying to get me killed. In the meantime, if you want to help, you can resign. That is sweet. She did not just rebuff them, though, she accused him of attempted murder. Nice way to deal with friends and enemies. The Keyboard Warriors went wild with excitement. They want you to think aoc just exposed cruz as some kind of funny, but in reality, it is the senator who showed the world who aoc really is, someone who cares about her, i dont know, Leftist Brand more than accomplishing good stuff for Good American people. Here to react is Dinesh Dsouza, host of the Dinesh Dsouza podcast, Executive Producer of trump card, and conservative commentator and writer. Dinesh, i have often cited alexandria ocasiocortez as someone who populist republicans could work with on certain issues, and shes done a brilliant job of using social media and branding herself, but on this issue, i think shes made a huge mistake by revealing that what helps the little guy is not necessarily what shes going to do all the time. I think the reason for this is because aoc is about the theater. Ultimately, she is not about policy, she is about striking a stance. You almost get the sense, even when you hear her, speaking as a congresswoman,ce she is puttingn a performance. She is putting on a show. Now, if you really want unity,y, you do it through political compromise, and compromise simply means i am over here, you are over there, lets meet somewhere toward the middle. Y and when you have political compromise, both parties, including the minority party, feel like they have had a contribution and stake in the outcome. But of course, this is not what the left means by unity at all. What they mean is lets unify against trump. Lets unify against the maga party. Lets unify against the socalled patriots. So, there unity is a false unity, not based upon bringing people together, but creating a collective hatefest against one group of americans. Laura well, its a motto. It is a model that has no substance behind it. Her rejection of cruzs i think good faith offer, it makes sense when you think of what she said about the g. O. P. , this was just last night. Watch. There are legitimate White Supremacist Sympathizers that sit at the heart and at the core of the Republican Caucus. In the house of representatives. There are no consequences in the Republican Caucus for violence. And they want it. Because they know that it is the core animating Political Energy for them. Laura Dinesh Dsouza, anything thats inciting people to violence, its calling her colleagues, essentially, white supremaciste, is there a Whie Supremacist right now in the u. S. Capitol . I mean, you almost expect people to storm the u. S. Capitol, because its a poisonous, horrible influence, yet shes making that charge, knowing what it does. I agree, but i also read this in a little bit of a different way. And my way is this, that what these democrats are doing, and these leftists, as they are a saying, we want to political opposition that we get to choose. So, for example, ted cruz, josh hawley, they are illegitimate, they are not real opposition. Now mitt romney, we like that kind of aa guy laura [laughs] suits up perfectly well. We want someone who is basically going to put up some token opposition and unfold. Now, the emphasis of Democratic Politics is that one party doesnt get to choose what their opposition believes, how their opposition conducts itself. The opposition gets to decide that. So, its the g. O. P. Voters who pick their leaders. We dont need aoc and pelosi and all these guys to go, this is thend kind of republican we coud live with. Laura yeah, the republicans they can live with our republicans will lose and then trash the base of the party. C that is their favorite type of republican. T namely, mitt romney, ben sasse, you know, jeff flake, and all the rest. Dinesh, you nailed it, thanks so much. And a ragtag bunch of traders have broad hedge funds to their knees .
