Month thanks to our great viewers. Laura i have to learn to get in shameless plugs, this is why youre the star. Then you get hannity. Com in there. Sean you know what . Im going to buy you a Butterball Turkey. Laura you said that two years ago, and you give me nothing. There were lots of gifts. Sean send laura a Butterball Turkey fryer. Laura great show and happy thanksgiving to you. Im Laura Ingraham and this is the ingraham angle, in washington tonight, if you thought schiffs impeachment hearings were a sham, just wait until you see Jerry Nadlers plan for newly announced hearings. John eastman and robert ray are here. Also tonight, why is the media propping up the bogus Opposition Research firm fusion gps . Congressman devin nunes and lee smith they have never appeared together are here with reaction. On tonights episode of our they left enough, Pete Buttigieg is reeling from comments that he made about inner cities in 2011, having a lot of people scratch their heads tonight. Candace owens takes up that debate and Raymond Arroyo brings us a tuesday addition of seen and unseen. Turkey pardon and Bernie Sanders is proving his vitality in an unusual way, move over fred astaire. But first, an animated series of failures, thats the focus of tonights angle. When im watching the House Democrats or certain 2020 candidates or their media chums, i feel like im watching characters in a cartoon series instead of representatives of the people. Month after month, they just boldly predict President Trumps political demise. If they give americans the impression that they have him trapped, that hes headed off the edge of the cliff, well tonight, we focus on five ways that trump has outsmarted them all. First, their relentless trashing of his economic record. If we are going to have a recession, its going to be a smorgasbord. Fears of a global recession, the r word to. Its near panic territory. He could be seeking reelection during a recession. The market has nowhere to go but down come out recession is written all over the forehead of this economy. Laura that was all bunk, the r word that the democrats are now worried about that they have to confront his record as in recordbreaking stock market again today. Incredibly low unemployment, also record numbers there. Economists and bloomberg columnist Michael Strahan writes today this year the rate of employment for people age 2554 has finally recovered from the Great Recession and here is yet another reason to be grateful, the economy in 2020 is said to have a better year what happened to recession . How do these people still have jobs . Second, there are reports that trumps g. O. P. Wall of support was somehow cracking, sure to be his undoing. The president of the United States asks or presses the leader of a foreign country to carry out an investigation of a political nature, thats troubling. And i feel that. Theres got to be somebody in the Republican Party who would stand up and say we believe in the rule of law. Once that happened, the floodgates can open. Theres a chance of there will be 20 republicans, i wouldnt bet on it but i think theres a chance. Laura theres a chance that youre wrong again. Today, trump enjoys 90 approval among republicans. Has anyone checked on bill weld lately . Third, democrats in the media warned that trumps tariffs against china would prove disastrous. His trade war with china is tanking the u. S. Economy. This trade war is tanking the economy. If the trade war were to get worse, it could tank the whole global economy. Laura today get up in the morning and pick u a few keywor . Another swing and a mess, our economy is booming while chinas gdp is growing at its slowest pace since the 1990s. It is expected to contract further next year. Fourth, democrats believe trumps summertime war of words with yield political pain for both him and his party. I am not surprised when the president said that four sitting members of congress should go back to their own country. He would love nothing more than to divide our country, this is a disruption and a distraction. From the callous, chaotic, and corrupt culture of this administration. The sort of rhetoric has a consequence for him, this could hurt him in 2020. Laura im not sure who that is but the reality is trumps decision to take on the hit girls might have made the momentary victims but it also meant nancy pelosi had to come to their defense. We just had a meeting to clear the air, in a family, you have your differences but you are still family. Laura this only gave them more prominence and with the help of the faux whistleblower, we are brought to number 5, the squads impeachment fantasy became a daily reality. This was another bombshell today just like there was a bombshell on wednesday. Devastating testimony corroborating evidence of bribery, the president abused power and violated his oath. Laura when the hearings ended up swinging Public Opinion against democrats impeachment fantasy, the left moved on to their next delusion. A federal judge nominated by obama is forcing trumps former white House Counsel to turn against the president to testi testify. The media was breathless with excitement. A federal judge ruling the former white House Counsel don mcgann must cooperate with the impeachment investigation, this is a huge win for democrats. This changes the dynamics of impeachment. Laura never mind the fact even if compelled to show up, don mcgann can wave off every question is privileged. Once again they thought they had trumps number but in fact he really had theirs. If the speaker doesnt watch out, her new nickname will be wiley pelosi. [cartoon sound effects] laura wiley pelosi, with a magnet . Its perfect. No matter what the democrats throw at trump, they cant take him down, its driving them crazy. Their predictions about the president s staying power have been spectacular flops. Here are a few predictions from yours truly. The president will get nominated with overwhelming support from his party and independence while democrats nominate someone with almost zero ability to connect with americans outside of major cities. Despite their series of political debacles, they will learn very little and just end up blaming the voters once aga again. And thats the angle. Joining me now is robert ralph, senior fellow in constitutional scholar. The democrats and the media were sure just like in all of these other predictions that were flops, they were sure yesterdays ruling would compel john bolton to testify and then his lawyer says democrats again are having to chase the roadrunner. They are going to end up with the tnt blowing up in their faces. The judge made very clear although the Top White House officials dont have absolute immunity from showing up to testify that they can claim executive privilege and response to specific questions anytime a question arises and even have the white house Current Council there to advise them when to exert executive privilege. It may have sounded like a win but they obviously didnt get past page two or three. Laura im talking about a bolton, this is something that takes that analysis to the next step. They thought john bolton was going to be again the nirvana in this whole impeachment quest that they have. But boltons lawyers, they dont seem like they are any rush to get up there and testify either. They are either really bad at making predictions or they dont know the law or they dont know how to read an opinion or that the opinion is limited to a certain set of special facts. I dont know what it is but its getting embarrassing now how repeatedly wrong the democrats are on a myriad of issues. Its also only one judge which means it is not on bolton. Lets just start with the very basics right there. Second thing is the decision already has been appealed, a notice of appeal was filed today with a request for a stay. I imagine we will see that possibly as early as tomorrow either by the district judge or if the district judge doesnt do it, the d. C. Circuit is likely to do it for her. What that means is on this timetable theres no way youre going to have a decision from the d. C. Circuit that will make any difference anyway. Laura same thing, im going to get to nadler in a minute but its the same thing the Supreme Court yesterday through chief Justice Roberts issued a temporary stay in that financial records case which was another attempt by the democrats to throw a wrench into the reelection bid. We are going to get all of these records, its going to look bad, i dont know what they think. They are tilting at windmills and at some point they should just do better policy but thats too hard for them. They need to reread article 1, the legislative power is not to go fishing all the time and that seems to be what they are doing. Laura i want to move to this issue of jerry nadler. Today chairman nadler inviting President Trump nice of him and his lawyer to testify. He also fired a warning shot while we invite you to this hearing, we remind you if you continue to refuse to make witnesses and documents available to the committee, the chair will have discretion to impose appropriate remedies. My stomach is hurting because im laughing so hard about this earlier. I dont know what he is threatening but how should the white house respond . They ought to say go ahead, bring another suit and we will take it up to the Supreme Court again. Theres a thing basic called separation of powers. The executive doesnt work for the legislature, this is not a parliamentary system we have. They have oversight ability but these fishing expeditions with obvious political motivations to try and dig up dirt on their political opponents, i thought that was what we werent supposed to do. Laura one point, what is the penalty . He has to get a court to impose a penalty correct . Its not like nadler is going to get some u. S. Marshals to go over to the white house and slapped manacles on the president and his counsel, its the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. Do they not know anything about the separation of powers . Im beginning to wonder. When you look at the remedies, what is he talking about . In any event, the executive branch has a much bigger police force in the Capitol Police serving the United States congress. I dont understand. Thats a pretty outrageous threat against the president. Laura im glad you said that. There was a line in the District Court opinion that talked about inherent congressional power to jail people in a jail cell in the capital if they dont show up to testify. Perhaps thats what hes thinking about. It would be fun to see them try that against the president of the United States. Laura the obama judge through that one out there, i mustve missed that. Thank you, thats why your professor. Great to see you tonight, happy thanksgiving. I hear this stuff, and i think people are operating in parallel universes. If you dont like trump, thats your prerogative, but you have to make a coherent argument based on facts. Most of the folks on the left are embittered, angry and delusional at this point. I ask about the Twilight Zone because the same Media Outlets who fell for the ridiculously phony steele dossier are now embracing the founders of the firm behind the steele dossier. Glenn simpson and peter frisch are promoting their new book and nbc gave them a lot of questions like how does it feel, whats your favorite color . Watch. Republicans controlled washington for two years and they use that time to investigate the investigators. And dig into us and waste enormous amounts of money trying to find something on us that would discredit us. We werent able to talk about those things for a long time and in the meantime faced a lot of pressure from republicans in congress specifically the chairman of the Judiciary Committee and the house intelligence committee. Laura im not sure what he mumbled at the end, here to respond, devin nunes, Ranking Member of the house and tell committee and lee smith, author of the plot against the president , fantastic book. Congressman, fusion gps actually ran a campaign against you in 2018, what do you think about their whining and moaning . They were mean to us, they were so mean to us and the kid glove treatment they were getting at nbc . Its typical, whatever they accuse you of doing, they are actually doing. Even the title of their book is hilarious because they are the ones continuing the crimes. I think part of what this book is about as not to sell a bunch of copies, its to get out ahead of the lawsuits that are coming. They knew through discovery, they were behind all the smears and that is what is clear about the book and that is going to come out on the court cases anyway. Laura what to americans watching tonight have to understand about this duo at fusion gps . You documented this better than anyone about what was done especially to congressman devin nunes without whom President Trump might not be in the current good position hes in but his work is been unbelievable. What do people have to understand, is this another Consulting Group or something quite different . At something quite different. If you look at these different clips on nbc, speaking with chuck todd and with rachel maddow, it looks like a ransom. It looks like a hostage video because all of the media organizations, they werent just tricked, they were complicit in what is going on. If you look at their faces, they have to put their message through and the media is going to take it and theyre going to work with them to shape this narrative now with horowitz. Very important for them to get this message out and try to shape it. Laura it is very noteworthy that the fusion gps members went to nbc first. The hosts would bend over backwards to give them an interview style foot rub. Your new book is called crime in progress its really good. I feel steeped in this matter and i learned something on every page. What kind of toll has this taken on you personally . The book, no matter what you think about the steele dossier come if you talk about it, you should read this book. Laura why nbc . A few years ago, lee wrote about a connection between a specific nbc reporter and fusion gps, explain that briefly. This is about ken delaney at nbc and he was attacking William Browder as part of an operation on behalf of the russian government. He appeared to be reciting talking points provided by fusion gps. There are extensive connections between fusion gps and the entire media and nbc is certainly a part of that. Laura congressman nunes at this point we know the jerry nadler crew is going to get two weeks of their own whatever theyre going to end up doing with this impeachment nonsense. What do you expect to happen . Im going to say this to everyone who has missed the last few minutes of the show hes threatening to president of the United States with unspecified penalties if he doesnt show up to testify. This is where we have gotten. I cannot imagine how a constitutional hearing next week about the constitutionality of impeachment, how that is going to be any better for them than the last two weeks when they had dud after dud after dud of witnesses. Nadler, evidently he has been found because the guy has been missing since before the summer time, nobody has seen him. They ripped him off the stage so i cant imagine my guess is theyre going to have like one hearing next week and they will foot the following week. I cant imagine they will leave him up for multiple hearings and have another were all the Networks Cover these guys, it will drive the numbers even lower than they are today. Laura having you both on together is a treat because congressman, i remember when you were being smeared when they were claiming you were conflicted out of the whole russia thing, they were lying about that i dont know how long, thats when i was still doing my radio show and then it was all this madeup nonsense. You took it upon yourself to write about this and to explain it in a way i sound like im sucking up to you, its so important for people to understand its not just what you read in the headlines, you have to dig into the facts of what they do to good people to try to ripped them to shreds. Its critical, meanwhile this peter frisch guy was speaking on meet the press about the parallels between russia and impeachment, ive got to get you both quickly on this, watch. Im sitting here today at the end of 2019, does anyone doubt the donald trump would be capable of working with a Foreign Government to affect the political process in this country . Thats exactly what the houses looking at right now. Laura congressman nunes, quickly your thoughts. They are the ones that went to foreigners, they took money from the democrats and went to ukrainians and russians to dig up dirt on trump. These guys are a complete joke, they are racketeering operation and they need to be shut down. Laura congressman nunes, i know youre going to get a tie back on when you come back to work. Hes always at the expo your back on. Youre always at this expo, what is at . Every time i have you on. Theres trucks in the back. Its by my house and i got nice colorful backgrounds and museums. Laura i got it, im a little slow before thanksgiving. You have the christmas theme colors behind you, happy thanksgiving. Coming up, last night it was biden, tonight is mayor pete feeling the heat from the left, Candace Owens tells us why Pete Buttigieg is being buried over some newly uncovered comments on race, they offend you . When we come back. Im finding it hard to stay on top of things a faster laptop could help. Plus, tech support to stay worry free. Worry free. Boom boom get free next business day shipping o
