Laura Ingraham shines a spotlight on everyday Americans and examines how their lives are affected by politics at the federal, state and local level. Policies, like regulation, or through poorly negotiated trade deals. Dont get me wrong. Ot the kochs have done great work on tax reform, stuffff like deregulation, and also in the area of education. Last year, they spent 90 million in university programs, and they are committed to expanding their support for k12 education. I have a question for you.

Including the areas of stem science, technology, so forth including things like artificial intelligence. Ud we cant just look the other way while china and a lot of other countries, by the way, game the Global Trading system and rack up huge trade surpluses. I. T. , stem, unfair subsidies and so forth.

have to agree with what the white house economic advisor larry kudlow, a free trader himself, said over the weekend. people will say, well president trump s tariffs arere damaging this, that, and the other thing. i say, don t blame president trump. he inherited a completely broken world trading system, including a wto, most particularly china but not only china. okay? he s trying to fix that. laura: remember the kochs supported the job andix sovereignty killing trans-pacific partnership, and the nafta agreement that bush obama, and until the campaign at least, hillary championed. the koch network, like the rest of the g.o.p. old guard, is positively furious with trump so use of tariffs to level the playing field. in fact, they announced s last month that they have committed to a multimillion dollar multiyear campaign to oppose what trump is doing onn trade.
or an amazing facsimile. the workers, for their part couldn t give him a standing ovation because they never sat down. i left the hall thinking donald trump is going to be reelected in 2020. the democrats don t have anyone who can touch him. bank on it. don t hate me for being they want to tell you. hmm. joining me now is ben shapiro editor for the daily wire. i thought that was an honest liberal view. he hates trump. can t stand trump. but going to the rally and seeing the reaction of the people, but kamala a harris cory booker, will they get the mojo going? what are your thinking? the culture war that is being waged is not between the elites anomalies, it is the elitists and no one else. people think that the jobs being lost of the new york daily news is a national tragedy but jobs being lost in the steel belt is perfectly fine. what president trump does better than any other politician on the
challenger to heidi heitkamp. monica, there s a big talk about a potential shutdown now.rt you know, with the border wall. trump said i won t do the omnibus spending bill again.n. let s watch what the president said today about this. we need border security. border security includes theid wall. but it includes many other things. we have to end the lottery. we have to end the chain. the chain is like a disaster. you bring one person in, you end up with 32 people. the whole thing is ridiculous. we have to change our laws, and we do that through congress. i would certainly be willing toc close it down, to get it done. laura: the democrats are already going insane about this. again, old guard republicans this will blow the midterm election cycle. what are your thoughts? i think they are afraid that donald trump means it. and you know what? he does. this is a man who relishes everything go fight and when he says i m willing to shut down the government unless they get real money to s
