That dont s say that, but well do it any way. Lets not be honest with the American People. We want open borders. And obamacare. That is all the time we have left. Always fair and balanced. Never the destroytrumpmedia. Let not your heart be troubled. Ingraham standing by. Laura hey, im just writing eric trump a thankyou note for mentioning me during your show tonight. [laughter] sean im sitting here, and he goes, you know who is great at defending melania . Laura ingraham. Im like, what am i, chopped liver . Laura listen, this is why you and i i have been friends for 18 years. Youre number one in cable, you are number close to rush in radio. A little mention of someone else, you are like, What About Me . Typical man. Sean [ laughter ] you know why . Lets be honest everyone in this business, you know this is true is overpaid, lazy, and narcissistic. And most of them are all agenda. We are honest. We are talk show hosts. We do journalism, we do straight
interviews, commentary, opinion, we do it all. Laura radio. We do this i mean. Sean by the way, how great was it . Rush 30 years, paving the way for all of us . Laura unbelievable. 18 years i got into radio. You and i started the same year in national radio. 2001, i never would have imagined. Sean i was with the guy in Santa Barbara in 87 and then huntsville, alabama and then atlanta. You started at thehe top. Im so sorry it was so hard for you. Laura i was a lawyer. I was a lawyer. Have pity for me as a lawyer. Sean well fill the show with us bantering backandforth andg bickering like a children. Laura one friday when you are not taking a vacation day, well do that. Sean you and tucker take more vacation than anybody laura when you live in a
Laura Ingraham shines a spotlight on everyday Americans and examines how their lives are affected by politics at the federal, state and local level. Reprehensible comparison. We wont talk about steve scalise. Well talk about that later. I dont recall the same level of concern over the violence at lets say, berkeley, whenn conservatives speak, or outside the trump rallies in san jose during the campaign. Remember when that guy was pummeled . When the left engages, in not just harsh language, but criminal acts of violence, destroying property, putting police lives at risk, the media work overtime to understand the underlying anger and upset. I see a lot of people expressing their humanity in the face of a candidate who has really built his candidacy on denouncing their humanity. Yeah, there are a few people out there who were not out there to actually protest, but at the end of the day, they accomplished their goal. They got on tv and they gotre their issues aired. They have grievances. Its not like his mindless or they just want violence. They are speaking out about somebody who is attacking their communities. Our hearts are out there marching with them. O laura did any of them bemoan the vile nature of the commentary or the signage at, lets say, the womens march . I didnt know devils could be resurrected, but i feel hitler in these streets. Yes, im angry yes, i am outraged yes, i have thought an awful lot about blowing up the white house. Laura remember when madonna did all that yoga . I thought that was supposed to make you calm and zenlike. L where were the liberal complaints about this rhetoric . And with this kind of inspiration, i will go and take trump out tonight. I wish i could take it behind the gym. That is what i wish. How dare he say the things he does. Of course i want to punch him in the face. Laura where was the media outrage about that . Did President Obama or other wellknown Democratic Leaders decry that approach, that language, that vitriol, that incitement to violence . Of course they did not. Because after all, President Trump, the people whos supported him, continue to support him, they all deserve that and worse. And where where the Media Condemnations when women who were affiliated or supported the president were harassed at restaurants, driven from Movie Theaters . The liberal media dont have any difficulty finding tough words to describe Trump Supporters, though. It is truly dangerous. We keep referring to his base. Well, im sorry, but the people we saw, at that rally, if thats his base, it is deranged. Ha laura deranged . See them as backwater, intolerant, and yes, even racist. This just made them furious and resentful. But then came donald trump. Our economy is soaring, our jobs are booming. Factories are pouring back into our country. They are coming from all over the world. And the forgotten Men And Women of the United States are forgotten no more [cheers and applause] laura you can almost hear the peals of laughter at certain cable news at studios after he says stuff like that. But most in that crowd in theca audience, across america, they like what they hear they are. They dont want to be forgotten. My friends in the media, you cannot ridicule and attack a major part of the american electorate. You cant disparage them and the
understand if someone only watches another channel every night. Its very possible that you are not 100 right, you, being fox. And that cnn is not 100 right. There is somewhere in between. But you dont get any of that. There is no comment im not going to be cutesy about Common Ground but we were talking earlier about different conspiracy theories. There is nothing i could say tou debunk one because i would say, well, here, look at this Associated Press story, or here, look at this fox story. Is there is nothing we all agree upon. So you have, yes, the toxic environment. I dont think it should be on tv anymore. But you also have a president who is lying, he is lying multiple times a day, he is lying at a rate more than anyone ever has. It is true. He has lied 4,229 times that is the slime from leftwing outlets. 29 thats exactly what youre talking about. We can agree on truth. We can agree on truth. There are good reporters. T
but that does not help factcheck organizations that all these people are all paid by your leftists. That shouldnt happen. There is truth, laura. There is right and wrong. All politicians should be held to that standard but i agree with you, you cant go out there as a journalist and say you are objective and then be on your twitter Feed Making Fun of Me And My Friends and my family on a regular basis. You dont get to have it both ways. Laura do you think that the polling on the way the people feel about the media in general, whether they approve or disapprove of the coverage of the president , the majority, its not a fox poll its, the the thehe the majority doesnt agree on how the president is covered. The majority not a fox poll the majority, they do not approve the way they cover the president. The majority believe they are biased toward the liberal side of the equation. I know you have your views about the president. Im trying to keep this argument focused on this conflagration between the media and
conservatives and the media and hiS Administration. Victor david hanson, you just wrote a column today about this. The culture that we live in. Your reaction to what you saw and heard over the last few days and the angle . Ct well, i think there is a certain people that feel that their aims are so virtuous or they are so well educated, that there means are okay. Take jim acosta, and reaction to that, a reporter at politico said people at that rally had no teeth and they were garbage. We havent heard that since peter strzok said that people smelled at walmart. You get into this deplorable and irredeemable, your political activist that talk about her twitter, they go across the white house and make noise so the president cant sleep. Its all predicated on this attempt on my contempt they have a geographical or sociological or cultural subset of america and they are imbued with it, and the irony of it, laura, is that when you take this member of the New York TimesEditorial Board, she is a product of
berkeley county is a product of harvard law school. Yet, shes voicing sentiments that are right out of the middle ages. The same thing with ocasiocortez. Shes a Boston University graduate but shes clueless on the middle east are on basic economics. So Red State America is presented with this paradox that this really well educated, enlightened elite know everything but they really dont. They disparage people on the base of class and we are reaping the whirlwind of that. We need to step back. Laura yeah, youre talking about the new youre talking excuse me youreing youre talking about the new Editorial Board member of the New York Times, sarah jeong, who said among the most hateful things about white people, i guess, when youre not right, you say hateful things about white people, the New York Times will hire you if you delete your tweets and say you are sorry. I am for redemption, i think thats great, but wow. Atueue i can imagine people tweeting other things that are directed to conservatives, they would
never hire them at the New York Times. He made a point we dont know what the rules are. Laura the rules are different. We say the elites. Its not about where you go to school, its the way you look down upon regular people. I see people at the trump rallies, they dont go to fancy clothes stores and buy the fancn clothes, certainly not like Paul Manafort does. They dont get the cool clothes. They dont speak in the same highfalutin terms of other people. But they are good people. They think america is in trouble and i think donald trump has more answers than the in crowd. That is why they voted for him. They believe he fights for him. C the media dont get that. They are focusing on the media. Y do you believe that they are giving the policies of thiS Administration a fair analysis, philippe . I do. I think you are defining unfair as coming up with a negative outcome. That is assuming President Trump never makes any mistakes. Laura of course he does. I call him out for mistakes. Immigration, all the time. I think the problem is, elite is code for looking down at someone. Soy boy. Calling someone beta male. Low iq. This is not one group looking down from a mountain saying the other group is scary. G laura i think people get offended and then they strike back. Its a bad cycle. You have 100 of the country angry at itself and the media, to some extent, is one of the ways to hash it out. And they have been neutered. You have been neutered. The same way you talk to your crowd, jim acosta talks to his crowd. Laura but hes not an Opinion Journalist. I am ot im not a reporter. Im a commentator. I worked for the Reagan Administration and clerked for justice thomas. I dont pretend to be objective. Im an Opinion Journalist but i think i am fair and i think there are great reporters but the impact on fact and story, sean hannity is singlehandedly given incredible credence to some of the worst conspiracy no no. Laura first of all, if you are going to come on this network and attack fox, philippe conspiracy theories. You know what i think it is a Conspiracy Theory . Saying garbage people, jeering at another person, falsely accusing them, flipping them off mark caputo, who says the most horrific thing, as a political reporter i dont know laura mark caputo . Sara young person. Everyone said things they should regret, whether they do or not. Laura these people are reporters they are supposed to be calling balls and strikes, correct . And they are. And when Sarah Sanders lies, they call it out. When jim goes to a trump rally you will have Trump Supporters and conservatives these are americans. The audience they are trying to get. Um whyy doesnt cnn listen to
what the American People want . The ratings will do better. I think they do, actually. Final thoughts . Center ininterested harvard says 90 of the Press Coverage was slanted antitrump. This idea on the one hand and the other hand is disingenuous. Whether we like it or not, the media is for a particular subset of american life. They feel its their odyssey and their journey to delegitimize this president and the people who support him for a variety of cultural and class reasons, and im not saying that trump is an angel, but the coverage is not its really pathetic. Im laura all right, gentlemen. Thank you so much. Stay with us. We have an exclusive interview with white house insider Kellyanne Conway next. We have an exclusive interview with whi we have an exclusive interview keep it comin love. If you keep on eating, well keep it comin. All you can eat riblets and tenders at applebees. Now thats eatin good in the neighborhood. You wouldnt accept an incomplete job from any one else. Why accept it from your Allergy Pills . Flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills dont. And all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. Flonase sensimist. Started hearing these reports that they wanted me to walk up they wanted me to walk up and go like this whatever happened to fair press . Whatever happened to honest reporting . These horrible, horrendous people. Laura well, that was President Trump tonight in wilkesbarre, pennsylvania to discuss the press and a a lot of hot news. Lets bring one of our close friends, at least mine, for too many years to count, and the president s closest advisor, white house counselor Kellyanne Conway. Kellyanne, thank you so much for joining us tonight. Weve been discussing the relationship with the press, and the crybaby response, which i think is feigned, phony moral outrage, the horrible things said about this president , the horrible types of violence, antitrump protests, smashing windows, and beating people up
who have a cap on that says make america great, but now the press is upset because some 70yearold lady yells at jim acosta. I mean, i dont get it. I thought Press SecretarySarah Sanders handled it beautifully today when she really read it, an entire litany of facts. Things that have been said about her and some violence that has been incited against her, she is the only Press Secretary in u. S. History to hear her say it thatt she needed Bodyguards AndstSecret Service. I had Secret Service when i got there for much the same reason. Laura, i have a slightly different take on all of this. I know that it may be annoying, it may be irritating, and may be unfair, it may even be biased at times, it certainly is. But i am also not sure its particularly relevant or consequential. The media is overall the Approval Rating is at 17 or 20 . I will give the range, i saw a low of 17, high of 20 . The president s Approval Ratings are ticking upward. Particularly on matters that are of consequence to the American People, like his handling of the economy. Trying to forge peace and prosperity around the globe. People know what they see and what they see are their bonuses, their raises, that the Deregulation Andnd the historic tax cuts. They have confidence inn this economy, and they are spending more of their money. I was at that rally tonight with the president. I participated in the round table ahead also. People are absolutely brillianto buoyant. They know that beginning with Hillary Clinton, they referredre to as irredeemable and deplorable, and looked down upon, they know that barack obama, when he was running for president , said these people who cling to their god and their guns just always dismissing them, and this is why it is very important point. Im not sure they care anymore. I speak to these people all the time. You know what they care about . The care they have a president who respects and takes actionha daily for the military, for the veterans, and for them. Look, lets not mistake was going on here, too. A lot of these journalists have very expensive sevenfigure contracts, go on latenight tv where they can yuk it up and c they just laugh all day long, particularly about the women in the trump administration, and then they can go and giveic speeches i mean, they speak for free every single day, and half the country doesnt want to listen to them. Somebody pays them a lot of money to give speeches, so they are raking it in. Listen, donald trump is right. T. President trump, laura, is correct, when he says nobody has been better for the media than him. He certainly, the revenues, the popularity laura but, kellyanne, i got to jump in here, because when i talk to my Radio Listeners every day and i did a thing a couple of days ago, i said, tell me how the trump economy, is affecting your business, your family, you know, dontou sugar coat it. If its not working, i want to
hear from you. I did this for three hours. We did, too. Laura three hours people literally talking about truck drivers, salesman, people in medical devices you know what they say . K people are happier. People are happier because they are not worried about waking up and saying, oh, my god, i will lose my job tomorrow. I was i knew the economy was great. But until you hear from the regular people, just saying, i dont know what these media
