THAT’S THE FOCUS OF TONIGHT’S
"ANGLE"."
YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE NOTICED, BUT
THE DOW JONES FELL OVER 797
POINTS TODAY.
>> IT IS NOW INFECTING THE
MARKETS WORLDWIDE.
ALL THE MAJOR AVERAGES
PLUMMETING TODAY.
>> Laura: FOOD PRICES
SKYROCKETING, FUEL COSTS ARE’S
URGING TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL
SINCE 2008.
>> OIL PRICES HAVE SKYROCKETED
TO THEIR HIGHEST PRICE SINCE
2008.
OVER SEVEN BUCKS A GALLON OVER
THE WEEKEND?
>> THERE IT IS!
>> Laura: INFLATION AT ITS
HIGHEST POINT SINCE THE 1970s.
ALL OF THIS IS CREATING WHAT
EVEN "THE WASHINGTON POST"
ADMITS IS A DEEPLY PESSIMISTIC
NATION.
BUT RATHER THAN CONFRONTING THE
DECLINE OF AMERICA UNDER BIDEN
AND THEN TRYING TO FIX IT, THE
MEDIA AND EVEN SOME IN THE
G.O.P. ARE DESPERATELY SELLING
ANOTHER WAR.
>> IN TERMS OF A NO-FLY ZONE,
WE’VE DONE IT BEFORE.
WE DID IT IN IRAQ, WE DID IT IN
BOSNIA, WE DID IT IN LIBYA.
>> NOT READY TO CONFRONT RUSSIA
MILITARILY IN THE SKIES.
HOW ARE THEY GOING TO --
>> THEY CAN CONTINUE TO PROTECT
THEIR OWN SKIES.
>> Laura: ALL OF THESE
PROBLEMS COULD HAVE BEEN
PREVENTED IF WE HAD A COMPETENT
GOVERNMENT, BUT WE DO NOT.
BIDEN SHOULD HAVE INSISTED ON A
REALISTIC ASSESSMENT OF THE
SITUATION IN UKRAINE.
INSTEAD, HIS TEAM KEPT OPEN THE
PROSPECT OF NATO MEMBERSHIP FOR
UKRAINE, WHICH PUTIN SAID HE WAS
NEVER GOING TO ACCEPT.
IN RETROSPECT, THAT WAS LIKELY
HUGE, HUGE, HUGE MISTAKE.
OF COURSE PUTIN DIDN’T ATTACK
UKRAINE UNDER TRUMP BECAUSE HE
KNEW THAT AMERICA WAS STRONGER
AND MORE PRACTICAL UNDER HIS
LEADERSHIP.
TRUMP WAS A PRO-ENERGY
NATIONALIST WHO WASN’T ABOUT TO
GET ROLLED INTO SUPPORTING
RUSSIA’S NATURAL GAS PIPELINE
INTO EUROPE.
AND FROM DAY ONE THOUGH, THE
WHITE HOUSE, PELOSI, SCHUMER,
THEY’VE WORKED OVERTIME TO TURN
BACK EVERY POLICY OF TRUMP’S
PREDECESSOR -- BIDEN’S RIGHT
ASSESSOR, THAT WORKS TO MAKE
AMERICA STRONGER.
NOW AMERICANS ARE MADE TO PAY A
PRICE FOR BIDEN’S MADNESS.
A YEAR AGO, WHO COULD HAVE
IMAGINED $7 A GALLON GASOLINE
PRICES?
NOT EVEN A HIGH.
AFTER THE MEDIA SEEMED RELIEVED
TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE
SUBJECT, THEY DON’T LIKE THE
DEVASTATION IN UKRAINE, OF
COURSE THEY DON’T, BUT THEY ALSO
DON’T SEEM BOTHERED AT ALL THAT
AMERICANS ARE HURTING IN
PROFOUND WAYS.
THINK ABOUT HOW MISERABLE --
MISERABLE THE WHITE HOUSE
PRESS CORPS WAS IN KIND OF THE
END OF 2019.
WHAT WAS HAPPENING THEN.
THAT’S WHEN WE HAD ENERGY
INDEPENDENCE.
THAT’S WHEN WE HAD LOW
INFLATION.
RISING WAGES, EVEN FOR
BLUE-COLLAR WORKERS.
WE ALSO HAD RECORD LOW
UNEMPLOYMENT.
WE HAD GOOD TRADE DEALS AND WE
HAD NO NEW WARS.
IT DIDN’T MATTER THAT INVESTOR
AND CONSUMER CONFIDENCE WAS AN
ALL-TIME HIGH FOR THAT OPTIMISM
WAS ROBUST ALL THE WAY AROUND.
IN FACT, THAT ANNOYED OUR MEDIA
SO MUCH AND SOME OF THE OTHER
CHARACTERS I JUST MENTIONED,
THEY HAD TO SET UPON TO DESTROY
DONALD TRUMP.
>> DONALD TRUMP IS A RUSSIAN
OPERATIVE.
THE 101 CONTACTS BETWEEN TRUMP’S
TEAM AT MARSHALL AND OPERATIVES.
>> RUSSIA HACKED OUR ELECTION,
THAT WAS A 9/11 SCALE EVENT.
>> Laura: AND OF COURSE WHEN
BIDEN GOT IN, HE AND HIS BAND OF
SABOTEURS SET A COURSE TO
RADICALLY CHANGE AMERICA.
FROM THE WAY OUR CHILDREN VIEW
OUR FOUNDING, TO THE WAY WE
RECRUIT AND TRAIN OUR MILITARY,
TO THE WAY WE POWER OUR CARS IN
THE WAY WE LOOK AT CITIZENSHIP
EVEN.
THEY SPENT TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS,
WHICH JUST DROVE INFLATION
THROUGH THE ROOF, AND THEN THEY
REFUSED TO ADMIT THAT INFLATION
WAS ACTUALLY A REAL THING.
AND NOW THEY’RE TELLING YOU --
NOW THEY’RE TELLING YOU IT’S
TIME FOR MORE SACRIFICE.
>> Secretary Psaki: TRUE THAT
THE WORLD NEEDS TO BE PREPARED
FOR A VERY LONG, DIFFICULT ROAD
AHEAD.
>> Laura: WHAT BIDEN DID TO
AMERICA IN JUST OVER A YEAR IS
WHAT HE’S DOING TO HIMSELF
POLITICALLY.
HE AND HIS PARTY ARE POISED FOR
A HISTORIC ROUTE IN NOVEMBER AND
IF HE THINKS IS 10 MINUTES OF
DISCUSSING THE TRAGEDY IN
UKRAINE IS GOING TO HELP THEM,
HE’S JUST WRONG AGAIN.
PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO BE
KILLED IN UKRAINE, AND IT IS
HORRIFIC.
BUT OUR ELITE KEEP PUSHING A LIE
THAT PEOPLE IN UKRAINE AND HERE
SOMEHOW PROTECTED BY THE
RULES-BASED INTERNATIONAL ORDER.
THAT IS SOMEHOW GOING TO FIX
THINGS, WE JUST HAVE TO GO BACK
TO THAT -- THAT IS WRONG.
UNDER TRUMP, THEY WERE PROTECTED
BY THE USA, BUT ONCE WE BECAME
TOO WEAK UNDER BIDEN TO PROTECT
ANYONE, WELL, THINGS STARTED TO
COLLAPSE ABROAD.
WHEN CHINA BERATED ANTIN OF
LINCOLN -- MEMBER THAT IN
ALASKA -- AN THEN TRASHED
AMERICA, THAT SHOWS WHAT THEY’RE
TRYING TO DO, IT WAS UGLY AND MY
PREDICTION IS THAT BIDEN WILL
CONTINUE TO BE HUMILIATED BY
CHINA.
AS FOR THOSE WHO SAY TALK ABOUT
CHINA, THE DODGE -- SAW THAT
TODAY -- IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO
REALISTICALLY ASSESS WHAT’S
HAPPENING IN UKRAINE BECAUSE
CHINA IS A MAJOR CHECK ON OUR
ABILITY TO AFFECT THE SITUATION.
EVERY BAD THING THAT IS
HAPPENING IS ONLY HAPPENING NOW
BECAUSE OUR ELITES AT SOME POINT
IN TIME THOUGHT IT WAS OKAY TO
MAKE CHINA THE MOST POWERFUL
COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
SO NOW HERE WE ARE, IT’S BACK TO
THE 1970s, THE U.S. IS
WEAKENED UNDER BIDEN, WE ARE HE
REALLY ADDED BY A SMALLER POWER
LIKE RUSSIA, WE ARE DIVIDED AT
HOME, WE ARE BURDENED WITH
HORRIFIC INFLATION AND ECONOMIC
PROBLEMS.
IT’S ALL SELF-INFLICTED.
BY A WHITE HOUSE AND A POLITICAL
ESTABLISHMENT THAT HAS FAILED
THE PEOPLE WHO PAY THE BILLS,
AND THEY’VE DONE IT FAR TOO MANY
TIMES.
WHAT THE LEFT WILL NOT ADMIT YET
IS THAT UKRAINE SHOWS US IN
GRAPHIC, GORY, TRAGIC DETAIL HOW
GLOBALIZATION ULTIMATELY FAILS
BECAUSE THE ELITES THOUGHT THAT
SOMEHOW WE COULD CURTAIL EVIL
WITH THE INTERNATIONAL NORMS,
THE NEW GLOBAL ORDER, THE GLOBAL
RESET, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL
IT.
THAT WASN’T JUST IDEALISTIC, IT
WAS DANGEROUS, AND IT WAS
STUPID.
THE ONLY THING THAT HAS KEPT BAD
ACTORS IN CHECK WAS IN AMERICA
THAT WAS ECONOMICALLY STRONG AND
CULTURALLY COHESIVE.
WHEN WE LOSE NOT JUST ONE BUT
BOTH OF THOSE THINGS, WE ARE NOT
GOING TO JUST SEE SUFFERING
ABROAD, WE ARE GOING TO INDOOR
PLENTY OF OUR OWN HERE.
THE ONLY GOOD NEWS IS THAT
