"theimes bestseller list. thanks forest the support. appreciate it. thank you.sell he suppon: have i have a great sh: . >> thank you, brother., brot i appreciate it. all right. e hegs i'm pete hegseth ietn for laura ingraham and this is a special edition of the "ingraham angle". >> have we seen this story before from russia collusion to ukrainian phone call to the alleged hush money payments to stormy daniels resistanced hh democrats and never trump always think they have the former president right where they want him. the aftermath of the mar a lagoe raidrm. rent well, it's been no different. let's just talk for a moment about trump's trump's reaction, which has been to basically throw any sort of criticism back in the face of the doj. >> do you get the sense that he feels like the walls are closing in at? ery wo rri think he's very worried. i don't think he'll admit it. i think that for the first time things are really i'm going to say it, the walls are closinn.g in. oh, yes. pete: the oft repeated never realized walls that are closing it just like the knives are out. it they love to pick it.ce and it isn't jus t the resistance folks playing into this, but also biden's doj in last night's close to midnight filing in response to his request for an independentsp special master to determine whatecia would actually be applicable, they went out of their way to provide evene fodd more fodder for the chattering class and the languagere and leaps of logic only intensified. >> it's got to worry that his own attorneys are going to turn on him. his his own attorney , one of his attorneys signed this document that you were referrint g to before saying she's turned overt everything and that trump authorized her to say that the other attorney , evan corcoran, evidentle othey drafth that document. implicatebod in this and both right now are lookingy very much actively at jail time. >> everyone's going to ntur on him. it's happening at this moment. concof course, that can only lead to one conclusion, something they've been pining for over the past seven years. a what we've seen now having crossed the rubicon and sententw those fbi agents down there tonh do that searcher and seizure. and now the doj has gone to the point where it's laying them out on the floor. they're laidg it o on the floore and they're putting these photographs out not i think they're not justese phot, you k, sort of slamming spikinge the ball. they are implicitlball y oreir ha explicitly signaling they're tipping their hand, too. i just don'tnd understand a wor in which nowun merrick garland d could not in i the end indictern trump. >> and i think that's the wheret we're headedrope.. but what is the reality? we don't put anything past the garland justice department ,though. we caught this note inrland as always,ju the eighth paragrah of the new york times sweeping article about last night'sllin filing. it included this telling line, little detail, eighth paragraph . department officials are not expected to file charges imminently if they ever do at all. >> joining mowe no iw is newt gingrich, former speaker of the house and fox news contributor newt. fo the trump legax l team responded to the doj a short time agorespn contendingde that they shouldule have known classified documents would be on the premises o by te very nature of presidential records. what'sntia your reaction? most corrupt justice department and all of american history. you have corruption fromtorney the attorney general to g the head of the fbi to senior elements of the fbi. you have collusion from a wideuc range of the intelligence community. you had i think it was 50 somehk intelligence senior officialsear who signed a letter last year that we now know is a total lie ,none of whom have recanted. i fully expect the justicepect e department to indict president trump in a dc court district where he got h five point six percent of the vote. . so by 19 to one , the jury is likely to be against him.s al i think this is an all out front and just said zuckerberg, the founder of facebook, say that the fbi asked him tohunter suppress the hunter bidenor laptop for the three or fours be weeks before the election in 2020 at a time, by the way, when some 80 percent of americans say if they had known how corrupt hunter biden and threw him his father were they probably would have voted against joe biden. so i mean, i havr joe bidee no . what's going to happen next. i'm a historian by training and i tell everybody you have to assume that nothing, you know, tells you anything about how corrupt and how sick thisino is going to get because you get have fanatic who representsesen a secular religion who aret determineda r re to destroy nott trump but trump's followers. s. they and they could do almost anything. we have no way o cf knowin we hg what the next six months or two years are going to carry as a historian to say the most corrupt, that that says a lot.ao charwhat you talked about.t how they're characterizing their opponents. we heard how joe bidenpponents d trump supporters semi fascist. well, here's the white houseist. press secretary doubling down. >> listen, the president thinks that there is an extremist threat to our democracy. the president has been clear as he can be on that particulart piece when we talk about democracy, when we talk aboutt u our freedoms, the way that he seizes imago, republicans are the most energized part of the republican party. that extreme.f th this is an extreme threat to o our democracy, turo our freedom, to our rights. >> smocracy,o political opponeng the biggest threat toge our democracy, eveurn though we're a constitutional republic. you say this is the mostu corrupt justic corrue departmens you've ever seen. >> how dangerous is our moment ? well, look, i think there was a brief period late in the wilson administration where you had an attorney general who sort of lost his mind and they had what was called the red scare and they locked up a lot of people, including the former socialist party candidate for president , butatn lost his m brief period. what you seeind an now is anthem institutional commitment that runscandidat from places like hd and princeton and yale to the new york times in and "the washington post" and the major networksngton po to the dp state, to the intelligence community, the fbi, the justicem department and all of theseneal systems are now basically at war with the american people. i mean, this is the thing bidens doesn't understand. even if you thought the lastn' election was relatively fair and i think we learned more ande more about a how rigged it was. but even if you thought it was relatively fair, 73 or seventy four million americans voted for donald trump to have a united states characterize halfterize of his country in the that joe biden does is then greatest act of aggression by an american president against his own people. his own le that we've ever seen. it's truly an historic moment. n i 't doesn't fit any of our prir history. and i keep telling t my friends do not assume anything based on past precedent because you're now dealing with peoplear if yare terrified. i mean, if youou are the senior fbi or you're the white house and you're looking at the potential of a republican controlled house and senatee an and you realize all of your emails, all ofrythin your meetings, everything that you've been doing could suddenly becomg e public and yoe entire career coul cdoyed and yu be destroyed and you might endre up in jail. i mean, you're going to do everything you can to try to guarantee that the republicans can't win this fall. can'because you're terrified of what a republican congresswhs wo would be likule. and then that feels like a cycle that doesn't stoper met as americans needs are never met because they're too busy impugning their political opponents. newt, thanks so much for thatpun insight. weing r politica, thanks apprec. >> thank you.t. they're bein g told to turn over documents with classification markingssificati and you know, k picture speaks a thousand words, right? those aris a crime. >> those are top secret documents. this is a crim >> te. n't ca anybody i don't care wherereere these were found, wherever they werevere, whoever owns that house committed a crime ha right here. it's all right here in the paper right here. the whole case, the most glaring example of politics being played by the doj, i mean ,laid bare t a shot of folders with classified markings strewn. about. t waiss obviously meant for propaganda purposes and nothing else. today we got confirmation of that fact courtesy of the new york times. they wrote the folders werearra a raid by agents, not justye sot of a raid by agents at mar, arra a lago after being removedye frg what the filing indicated was mr. trump's office. they were not discovered scattered on the floor. >> joining us now is chris bedford, senior editor at the federalist. chris , is there any reasons sa why, let's saydo donald trump'sd lawyers couldn't be present ifoj the doj was just going to publish the documents all over the internet? what do you make odocuments alfh ? i think the doisj is on its hees right now. they actually believe that after seven years of totallyse lying to the american people over and over again, being able to pull the pull the wool over, republicans eyes over and over again, getting good republicansb like senator jeff sessions oliro attorney generalr jeff session. to stand back people like mittl romney to vote for impeachment . people were still going to buyny this and buy their secrets afteretsr they raided a the president's house, which is something if you're raiding a political opponents house, yo house, y u have a darn good reason. you'd better be very right with it. but especially after seven years of lying. first i tried to say say with secrets, then they said the nuclear word. if that would just scare everyone into it, then they even had some ofto s their former agentcares imply tt this was had something to do with actual russian spying. then they released that fake and completely empty affidavit and now they're coming out f with this picturempty af they raid picture of documents. they have not made a case to the american people and the onus is on them. they've already become an a internet meme. and thank goodness, finally, republican senators and congressmey republn and punl immediately no one sitting on their hands and saying, let's waity is sig on and see. everyone's looking at the doj and the fbi and saying you show. ope evidence because if you read your political opponents house in the united states , you better have a darnpo ou bette good reason. >> you better prove itpr tivocrt us and not just say it's too secret for the kids. >>ll, yet the chairman of the januar py 6th committee, yet another effort to attempt to topple donald trump said no, no, nothing to see here.fbi. the fbi, it's all above board. d listen., i trust the fbi. they are just doing our job. it's not a partisan effort. and so much more logical thingm. concerns me. i don't know if some of the material he cared mar a lago compromises on nationaly. security. >> so it's not a partisanisan e effort because they're doing our bidding. you mentioned russia. how muchyou me of this comes a back to an never ending n with russia gate thatat tho they just can't quit, thatsegoio those secrets are going to sit in those files s until donald trump could personally deliver them to vladimir putin? that's what i've alwaysy alwa believed. and you know, i wouldys give chairman thompson the benefit of the doubt had this happened seven years ago. e i think a lot of the american public would wear if the fbi raided someone as prominent a former president , trump said they'd say, oh, my gosh, whatnoe happened?tt something really bad. but we know better now because we've seen the stuff and how'v police have come across come apart. the steele dossier has come apart. fbi agents have been i've just honored themselves, have been we forced to resign. people even walked out ofd t the building over this sorhebuif stuff. they don't have our truste. anymore, the fbi. and , you know, that's healthy . the american public should not n just look at the fbiot arrestinp or raiding political opponents homes, raiding in this caseents , wersy, well, that's okay trust them. we should demand answers.. and it's the onus is absolutelyo on them. luand i, like the democratic party, has changed fromdemocr one that question the fbi forever toat one that now just does their bidding because the fbi is working with them. but right now, the the plurality of independents, according to polling, the majority of republicans are saying, hold on , fbi, the ball's in your court. you show us what you have don't because right now we don't trust yo tu. >> their new favorite, they finally found a law enforcement agency that they just love. fine. ver chris , thank you very much. finally,y much appreciate your . all right. institutional mistrust inin america over the past couple ofe years has sadly been earned. we'rd. e now just past the one year mark of the disastrouss afghanistan withdrawal. and as the military leaders in charge escape any semblance of accountability about the myriad of failures, includingof 13 dead americans, the taliban held celebrations at bagram air cel force to celebrateeb ann the anniversary. we musiversaryt also never forgw how our commander in chief our commander in chief clas classified the withdrawal. en >> this extraordinary success of this missiodinaryn was due td the incredible skill bravely and selfless courage of the united states military and our diplomatsal and intelligence professionals. >> incredible success intruly? the end, truly, only one man, the one man punished in the aftermath was lieutenant colonel stuart scheller,ge eventually discharged for publicly demanding accountability f from the leades over their failure. >> lieutenan their failut shells us now. congratulations on your new book, crisis of command.latn folks need to check its out to the real story of what you went through and why you spoke out. your reaction, colonel , to where we stand one year later.>t >> pete, thanks for having me on , brother. right now, i wrote this bookican for the american people. re i think the american people need to see where the military has gone adrift. samee problem with theh th fbi. e fbi. we have these governmentan organizations that have drifteid off track and right now we need honesty. we need integrity. we need courage. and we need people that can hold people accountable. and so i wrote this book for ama the american people. t afghanisa it's not just about afghanistan. it's the last two decades reallyn.o de since vietnam where the military has gone unchecked and we need leaders with courage to take a hard l look at what's goingook at on . as has been said before, a rifleman who loses a rifleo'sa gets more punishment than a general who loses a war. yet yoheu were the only one thah spoke out.ite the white house wawas asked why they haven't talked about it if it was such a great success. here's a statement fro m white t house press secretary on monday. >> listen to this. >>row mark the one year anniversary of when the president for the end of u.s. forces from afghanistan atn the end of the war on how does the president plan to mark that occasion to speaiok the american people to his plan to fight fori the lives of the 35%ve? so as far as you know, last week on friday, we did put outst the president put out a statement, they put out a statement so they put outt it a statement. got it. wewe kno kw they don't care.notd they want to talk about they know it's a disaster on their watch. when youw it point's a the fingh and you talk abouten youility, accountability, is this more ofi a political failure ofe the white hous e and what they did or is this a failure of generalship? and where do you s as someone who spoke out, point that thi finger? >> yeah, this is a great question. questioi think president bidene a lot of mistakes, but i thinkt the whole systemth failed.zi i think general mackenzie failed. i think general know, he failede .ra tes the generals testified that president biden ordered to drop down from twenty five hundred to six hundred fifty troops, but they never testified. the presiden tt ordered that ordered them to evacuate bagramv air base. the ke y piece of terrain that we needed. the generals unilaterally made that decision becausthe the restraint of six hundred and fifty and that's not good enough. we need seniord enough leaders t critical moments to stand up for american values. and right now wean have theseond people pleasing creatures that don't do what weo e as the american people expect them to do. >> any regrets, colonel ?mber t i remember talking to you. behn yod u spoke up thinking maybe many more would follow behind beingen you ended basically the only one who had the courage to speak out.s on w >>ha your thoughts on what it took for you, pete? when i was inough jail and i thought to myself, chu better leave me in jail or i'm going to make changes to the system. and since thatan i wathat t time i have gone out and i have accomplished everything i've wanted to. i know a lot of people just look at books and they think, bou know, here's another guy that wrote a book. congrats to your successsucces on your book. but i'm telling you what, therey arour the books out there that n project a plan. and this is all part of making the american people aware ofe nt what's going on .thing. ked then we're going to move on to the next thing. we are going to make changese ti because the time is now. ed if there's anybody who wrote a book that deserve to be readof because of the courage of what you did to you, the book is crisis of command. check it out. it's out now. right now. lieutenant colonel stu scheller, than.k you so much for being here and for everything you've done for the countrdone in moments, john fetterman is ducking a debate because of his health but still has time for a swanky hamptons fundraiser. plus, why that push inh in california for all vehicles to become electric by twenty thirty five might justo beco ru against reality?re my fox and friends weekend co-host bothiends" w of them, rachel campos duffy and will cain have reaction to it all inions i stay theren for five star backyard's yellowwood brand pressure. sweetie pie doesn't have this yellow tag. >> you don't want it super . the is the number one selling brand for a men's and health. and for the third year in a row it's the number one urologist recommended brand in time you'll notice that urges to improve emptying and you won't be getting up at night for so many bathroom trips. urologist recommended superbad for also available in gummies. find it at wal-mart. a heart attack. do they have life insurance?
