THIS IS "THE INGRAHAM ANGLE."
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US
TONIGHT.
WE ALL KNOW DESPITE ITS GORGEOUS
WEATHER AND ABUNDANT RESOURCES,
CALIFORNIA IS BLEEDING
RESIDENTS.
MORE THAN A HALF MILLION LEAVING
BETWEEN APRIL 2020 AND JULY 2022
ALONE.
NOW, AS SHOCKING AS THAT MAY
SEEM, HIGH TAXES, HIGH CRIME AND
REPARATIONS PAYMENTS SHOULDN’T
HUGE DRAWS.
IN FACT, THE DEMOCRAT SUPER
MAJORITY IN THE STATE
LEGISLATURE IS SO DESPERATE TO
KEEP PEOPLE FROM LEAVING THE
STATE THAT THEY’RE THREATENING
THEM WITH AN EXIT TAX IF THEY
DO.
NOW, SHOCKINGLY, LEFT WING
GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM OPPOSE
THIS HAS CASH GRAB BUT WE
FIGURED OUT WHY, BECAUSE
GOVERNOR HAIR GEL HAS BIGGER
ASPIRATIONS.
>> WE KNOW WE HAVE A BIG BATTLE
COMING WHICH IS WHY WE’LL HELP
LEAD THE FIGHT TO MAKE SURE WE
ELECT LEADERS IN 2024 WHO
BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY.
OUR COUNTRY IS HAVING AN
EXISTENTIAL BATTLE ON WHO WE ARE
AND WHO WE’RE WILLING TO BECOME.
IT’S NOT AN EXAGGERATION.
THAT’S THE TRUTH.
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THOSE RED
STATES IS NOT WHO WE ARE.
IT’S UNAMERICAN.
IT’S UNDEMOCRATIC.
>> Laura: RIGHT, GAV AND YOUR
CLOSING OF CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS
AND BUSINESSES FOR MORE THAN A
YEAR IS JUST WHAT OUR FOUNDERS
WOULD HAVE DONE.
IT WAS PLURALISTIC OF YOU TO
CHASE THE PEOPLE OFF THE
BEACHES.
HIS TOUR MADE LATE LAST MONTH
MADE NO MENTION OF FIXING THE
BORDER OR STANDING UP TO CHINA.
NOPE, BECAUSE HE’S GOT NO
ANSWERS THERE IT’S BALL STOKING
UP HATE AND DIVISION BY REVVING
UP THE CULTURE WARS.
>> WE’RE GOING ON THE ROAD TO
TAKE THE FIGHT TO STATES WHERE
FREEDOM IS MOST UNDER ATTACK,
WHERE REPUBLICAN LEADERS BAN
BOOKS, CRIMINALIZE DOCTORS, FIRE
TEACHERS, INTIMIDATE LIBRARIANS,
KIDNAP MIGRANTS, TARGET
TRANS KIDS, STOKE RACISM...
>> Laura: AN OBVIOUS DRY RUN
FOR A DIFFERENT CAMPAIGN THEME,
WELL, NEWSOM’S RED STATE TOUR IS
JUST THE LATEST SIGN THAT
PRESIDENT BIDEN MAY EITHER NOT RUN AT ALL OR HE MAY HAVE
RUN AT ALL OR HE MAY HAVE
SERIOUS COMPETITION.
CHECK OUT BIDEN’S NUMBERS IN THE
NEWEST CNN POLL.
EVEN CNN COULDN’T SPIN ’EM.
>> A THIRD OF THE AMERICANS
POLLED IN THIS SURVEY, 32% TO BE
EXACT SAY, YES, 67%, MORE THAN
2/3 OF AMERICANS, DOES NOT
BELIEVE HE DESERVES RE-ELECTION.
THERE WAS A BIT OF AN UPWARD
TRAJECTORY AFTER THE NOVEMBER
MIDTERMS.
THAT LITTLE UP TICK HAS SEEMED
TO HAVE STALLED OUT.
>> Laura: NOW, IT STALLED OUT
AND HIS CAMPAIGN-STYLE TOUR
SHOWED NEWSOM GENERALLY AVOIDED
HITTING THE AREAS WHERE BIDEN IS
LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY
STUMBLING.
>> HE PERFORMS WORSE ON
INDIVIDUAL ISSUES THAN HIS
OVERALL APPROVAL RATING.
ONLY 45% SAY HE’S HONEST AND
TRUSTWORTHY.
ONLY 35% SAY HE INSPIRES
COMPETENCE.
32% SAYS HE’S GOT THE STAMINA
AND SHARPNESS FOR THE JOB.
>> Laura: THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY
DISASTROUS NUMBERS WHICH IS WHY
NEWSOM BASICALLY SHADOWED
BIDEN’S TRIP TO SALMA LAST MONTH
-- SELMA LAST MONTH BY GOING TO
BLOODY MONDAY WHERE THE MARCH
ENDED.
WHEN WE THINK OF GAVIN NEWSOM,
SON OF PRIVILEGE AND THE FOUNDER
OF PLUMP JACK WINERY, WE THINK
MORAL CRUSADER.
>> I’M HERE IN MONTGOMERY,
ALABAMA, AS A REMINDER OF NOT
ONLY THE MORAL COURAGE OF
LEADERS LIKE DR. KING AND ROSA
PARKS BUT ALL THE HARD WORK THAT
WAS DONE AFTER THOSE MOMENTS.
SO MUCH OF THE ROLL BACK OF THE
PROGRESS WE’VE ALL ENJOYED BUT
WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO TO
BUILD A MOVEMENT TO COUNTER WHAT
IS HAPPENING IN RED STATES
ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.
>> Laura: WHAT’S THIS THING HE
KEEPS DOING?
THAT’S VERY STRANGE.
BUT HE’S HOPING FOR A NEWSOM
MOVEMENT TO KNOCK OFF
PRESIDENT’S STUMBLES AND HE’S
TRYING TO DEMONIZE THE RED
STATES AND TO DO IT, OF COURSE,
HE’S NOT GOING TO RUN ON, YOU
KNOW, LOWERING YOUR GAS PRICES.
INSTEAD, IF HE RUNS, HE’LL TAKE
THE UNIMAGINATIVE PATH OF
RUNNING AGAINST TRUMP.
>> I THINK THE PROBLEM IN OUR
COUNTRY RIGHT NOW IS
AUTHORITARIAN LEADERS WHO ARE SO
HELL BENT ON GAINING POWER AND
KEEPING IT BY WHATEVER MEANS
NECESSARY THAT THEY’RE DIRECTLY
ATTACKING OUR FREEDOMS IN STATE
AFTER STATE.
THAT’S WHY I’M LAUNCHING THE
CAMPAIGN FOR DEMOCRACY.
>> Laura: LAME.
NOW.
WE HAD MORE PEOPLE VOTE -- NOW,
WE HAD MORE PEOPLE VOTE IN THE
LAST ELECTION THAN EVER BEFORE
AND RECORD TURNOUT IN THE
MIDTERMS AS WELL.
THIS IS A TOTALLY WEAK ARGUMENT
ABOUT DEMOCRACY.
IN FACT, IF ANYONE’S THREATENING
DEMOCRACY, IT’S THE PEOPLE WHO
WANT TO PACK THE SUPREME COURT, BUT HIS ARGUMENT IS NOT AS WEAK
BUT HIS ARGUMENT IS NOT AS WEAK
AS THE PERFORMANCES IN FLORIDA.
[SINGING]
>> HE’S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN
HIS HANDS ♪
>> Laura: TOTALLY OFF BEAT.
IS IT JUST ME OR IS HE UNABLE TO
CLAP ON BEAT?
I DON’T KNOW.
BY THE WAY, IF HE’S A DEMOCRAT
NOMINEE, HOW DOES HE TAKE ON THE
MAN WHO WON RE-ELECTION BY 20
POINTS?
WELL, NEWSOM SPOKE TO STUDENTS
AT FLORIDA’S NEW COLLEGE WHERE
DESANTIS HAS BEGUN TO RESTORE
THE PROPER BALANCE TO PUBLIC
HIGHER EDUCATION.
HIS MESSAGE WAS THAT DESANTIS
LAUNCHED A WAR ON THE COLLEGE
AND WAS HURTING STUDENTS,
THREATENING THEIR EDUCATION.
HE TOLD THEM, "I WANT YOU TO
KNOW YOU’RE NOT ALONE.
YOU MATTER.
WE CARE."
OH.
INSPIRING.
NOW, SURE, THIS IS A LOT OF HOT
AIR, AND I DON’T THINK HE’S
GOING TO GET VERY FAR IN FLORIDA
WITH THAT MESSAGE.
ITS BOOMING ECONOMY IS A MAGNET
FOR AMERICANS.
WHY WOULD VOTERS IN FLORIDA
WHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER WANT
TO TAKE ADVICE FROM THE SAME
PEOPLE WHO ARE DESTROYING
CALIFORNIA?
NOW, LET’S BE CANDID.
ALMOST NO PLACE ON EARTH HAS THE
ADVANTAGES OF GAVIN NEWSOM’S
CALIFORNIA IN TERMS OF BEAUTY,
CLIMATE, NATURAL RESOURCES.
THERE’S A REASON IT’S LONG BEEN
KNOWN AS THE GOLDEN STATE.
IF GAVIN NEWSOM’S POLICIES DON’T
LEAD TO A HEALTHY ECONOMY IN
CALIFORNIA -- AND THEY DON’T --
HOW COULD THEY POSSIBLY WORK
ANYWHERE ELSE?
BUT REPUBLICANS SHOULD DO MORE
THAN LAUGH NEWSOM OFF.
THEY SHOULDN’T RUN AWAY FROM A
DEBATE WITH HIM.
INSTEAD, THEY SHOULD EMBRACE IT.
REPUBLICANS HAVE TO REMEMBER
THAT THE REAGAN LIBRARY IS NOT
THE ONLY INSTITUTION IN
CALIFORNIA.
THERE ARE ALMOST 40 MILLION OF
OUR FELLOW AMERICANS LIVING
THERE, INCLUDING OVER 6 MILLION
PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR PRESIDENT
TRUMP IN 2020.
WE CAN’T ABANDON THEM.
EVERY REPUBLICAN SEEKING
NATIONAL OFFICE SHOULD MAKE A
POINT OF GOING TO CALIFORNIA AND
MAKING CLEAR TO THEM THAT WE
WANT TO HELP.
JOINING ME NOW, HARMID DYLAN.
CEO FOR THE CENTER OF AMERICAN
LIBERTY AND ATTORNEY
EXTRAORDINAIRE.
GAVIN NEWSOM ON HIS TOUR, IT IS
PRETTY HILARIOUS.
HE’S PRESIDED OVER THE UTTER
DECLINE OF CALIFORNIA.
HE’S USHERING IN MORE DECLINE
AND YET HE THINKS HE’S GOT THE
ANSWER FOR WHAT AILS AMERICA.
YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> WELL, LAURA, I THINK IF I
MAY, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ON
THE REPUBLICAN SIDE RUNNING
AGAINST GAVIN NEWSOM, WHAT I
WOULD BE FOCUSING ON ON A DAILY
BASIS IS SHOWING B-ROLL FROM
CALIFORNIA CITIES AND FROM THE
CENTRAL VALLEY AND SHOWING HOW
MAKING CALIFORNIA INTO A
SANCTUARY STATE FOR EVERY ILL IN
THIS COUNTRY, DRUG ABUSE,
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, TRANSGENDER
MUTILATION OF CHILDREN HAS
REALLY DESTROYED THE QUALITY OF
LIFE IN OUR CITY.
I MEAN, THIS IS A CITY WHERE A
MILLIONAIRE WAS MURDERED ON THE
STREETS JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS
AGO AND WHERE COPS ARE RETIRING
EARLY BECAUSE THE PROSECUTORS DON’T PROSECUTE CRIMES.
DON’T PROSECUTE CRIMES.
AND SO HE SHOULD BE RUNNING FOR
CALIFORNIA.
CALIFORNIA ISN’T A PRETTY
STORYLAR LAUER GETTING PEOPLE TO
THE POLLS IN CALIFORNIA IS NOT
-- STORY.
>> Laura: GETTING PEOPLE TO
THE POLLS IN CALIFORNIA IS NOT
GOING TO BE DONE ON THE
TRANSGENDER MESSAGE OR ON THE
DOBBS CASE.
IT’S NOT.
IT’LL BE DONE ON GIVING PEOPLE
THEIR DREAMS BACK AND GIVING
AMERICA A FIGHTING CHANCE
AGAINST CHINA.
MAYBE THE BORDER A LITTLE BIT
BUT IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID.
I KEEP SAYING THIS AND I KEEP
HEARING PEOPLE GET PULLED OFF
FOR THE LATEST SHINY OBJECT.
>> YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT,
LAURA, AND THE VICISSITUDES OF
THE ECONOMY ARE SUCH THAT LAST
YEAR, YOU COULD SELL YOUR HOUSE
IN CALIFORNIA AND PROBABLY MAKE
A PROFIT ON IT IF YOU’D HAD IT
FOR A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.
RIGHT NOW, THE HOUSING PRICES
ARE IN A TAILSPIN, SO PEOPLE WHO
HAVE MORTGAGES ARE LOCKED INTO
THEM, AND WE DON’T HAVE A LOT OF
MOBILITY AT THE SAME TIME.
COMPANIES ARE LAYING PEOPLE OFF
RIGHT AND LEFT AND JOBS ARE
SHRINKING, SO I THINK WE’RE
REALLY HEADING FOR A CLIFF HERE
IN CALIFORNIA AND OTHER BLUE
STATES AND WE HAVE YET TO SEE
THE WORST OF IT.
AND I DON’T KNOW HOW GAVIN
NEWSOM IS GOING TO DEAL WITH
THAT.
I THINK HE’S FRANKLY CHECKED OUT
OF CALIFORNIA AT THIS POINT.
>> Laura: UM, HOW WOULD YOU
RATE HOW THE RNC IS PREPARING
FOR 2024 SO FAR AND STATE
G.O.P.’S FOR THE MAIL-IN BALLOT,
BALLOT HARVESTING PROBLEM WE’RE
GOING TO SEE AGAIN IN PLACES
LIKE WISCONSIN AND OTHER STATES.
1 TO 10.
>> WHAT WE JUST SAW IN WISCONSIN
SHOWS IT’S MAYBE A 2 RIGHT NOW
AND SO I THINK WE HAVEN’T GOTTEN
THE MESSAGE YET THAT WE NEED TO
BE INVESTING.
PEOPLE ON THE GROUND ARE TELLING
ME DEMOCRATS HAD ABOUT 500
BALLOT CHASERS IN WISCONSIN.
WE HAD A TINY FRACTION OF THAT,
MAYBE LESS THAN 10% OF THAT.
SO IT’S NOT SERIOUS.
WE REALLY NEED TO REALLY CHANGE
OUR ATTITUDE.
>> Laura: ALL RIGHT.
THAT’S -- THAT’S -- THAT’S THE
