Ingraham: What record can the new Democrat 'stars' point to?

ADAM SCHIFF. >> Laura: OKAY THANKS. NOW I'M MAD AT YOU. LOVE YOU, HANNITY. I'M LAURA INGRAHAM. THIS IS "THE INGRAHAM ANGLE." BETWEEN IRAQ AND A HARD PLACE. THAT IS THE FOCUS OF TONIGHT'S AN. THEY ARE CALLING HIM A STAND IN FOR BIDEN IN 2024. A POLITICAL START WAITING IN THE WINGS. WHO SURE HAS BEEN ACTING LIKE A CANDIDATE LATELY. >> GOING ON THE ROAD TO TAKE

THE FIGHT TO THE STATES WHERE FREEDOM IS MOST UNDER ATTACK. >> HERE IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA, WE HAVE A LOT TO DO TO COUNTER WHAT IS HAPPENING ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> I'M HERE IN SARASOTA, FLORIDA AND WE ARE HERE TO REMIND EVERYONE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN FLORIDA AND OTHER STATES LIKE IT. >> Laura: OF COURSE, AS HE SEEKS TO RAISE HIS NATIONAL PROFILE, HE HAS BEEN

PLAYING VERY CUT WITH THE PRESS. >> BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY AMBITION. IT IS NOT THE DIRECTION THAT I'M LEANING INTO. IT IS NOT THE MOMENT. >> WHEN WAIT TO ASKED THAT QUESTION IS I WILL NEVER RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. CAN YOU SAY THAT? I HAVE NO INTEREST. >> UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE? >> NO. >> Laura: REMEMBER HER AS GOVERNOR OF THE MOST POPULATED

STATE IN THE COUNTRY IT IS EASY TO GET LOTS OF FAVORABLE PRESS COVERAGE. WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING FOR NATIONAL OFFICE, PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO REALLY LOOK AT A RECORD. DONALD TRUMP AND RON DeSANTIS CAN GENERALLY POINT TO POLICIES THAT WORK. BUT NEWSOM? ACCORDING TO THE PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE OF CALIFORNIA WHICH IS NONPARTISAN, 66% BELIEVE THERE ARE BAD TIMES FOR CALIFORNIA AHEAD IN THE NEW ECONOMY. 62% THINK

THE STATE IS ALREADY IN A RECESSION. 61% SAY THEY ARE EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AND 35% ARE WORRIED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY THEIR MORTGAGE OR THEIR RAN. NO WONDER WHY FOUR OUT OF 10 CALIFORNIANS ARE NOW SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING LEAVING THE STATE. BUT WAIT, IF NEWSOM BECAME PRESIDENT, WORK -- WHERE WOULD WE ALL MOVED TO? POLAND? HUNGARY? NOW, EXTRAPOLATING FROM NEWSOM'S PERSONAL POPULARITY AND A STATE

RUN BY DEMOCRATS, AND HE IS. -- PRETTY POPULAR THERE, EXTRAPOLATING FROM THAT TO VIABILITY FOR NATIONAL OFFICE OVER JOE BIDEN IS UNWISE. FIRST, REMEMBER THE REAL REASON BIDEN WAS THE NOMINEE IN 2020. HE WAS THE ONLY DEMOCRAT STILL ALIVE, THE PARTY, USED TO MASK HOW RADICAL THEY HAD BECOME. REMEMBERED THE PARTY POKED BIDEN OVER BERNIE, BUTTIGIEG, KAMALA, ET CETERA. NONE WERE ACCEPTABLE TO THE MASSES. BIDEN

WAS. AND EVEN WITH HIS DREADFUL ECONOMIC RECORD, TO MANY, BUT IT REMAINS IN THE RING, EVEN REASSURING. WEARING HIS BANKER LIGHT SUITS FROM THE 1950s, AND HIS AVIATOR SHADES AND HIS PERFECT POCKET SQUARES. HE JOGS MEMORIES OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF YOUR. AND WHEN HE REMINISCES ABOUT THE GOOD OLD DAYS, MILLIONS OF DEMOCRATS DO, TOO. PARLER MY DAD USED TO HAVE AN EXPRESSION. REMEMBER, JOB IS

ABOUT A LOT MORE THAN A PAYCHECK. IT IS ABOUT YOUR DIGNITY. I HAD AN IRISH GRANDFATHER. AND HE USED TO SAY WHEN YOU GIVE A TOAST AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ALCOHOL IN YOUR CLASS, YOU MUST DO WITH YOUR LEFT HAND. [LAUGHTER] YOU THINK I'M KIDDING. I'M NOT. >> Laura: NO, WE DON'T THINK YOU ARE KIDDING. 68% OF AMERICANS ARE NOW FRETTING ABOUT JOE BIDEN'S MENTAL

LUCIDITY AND HIS PHYSICAL HEALTH WHICH INCLUDES 43% OF DEMOCRATS WORRIED ABOUT A. THAT IS UP FROM JUST 21% OF DEMOCRATS JUST THREE YEARS AGO. NO ONE -- NOW, ONE MAIN ARGUMENT AGAINST BIDEN AS THE NOMINEE IS THAT HE IS INCAPABLE OF EXPLAINING HIS RECORD. ANTIDEMOCRATIC AGENDA. RIDER SIGNED INTO LAW ONCE IN A GENERATION INVESTMENT OVER 200 -- $200 BILLION. PEOPLE GOT LAID OFF. ASSERTED EVERYTHING FROM

REFRIGERATORS TO CELL PHONES. WE CREATED MORE THAN 12,000, 12,000 JOBS SINCE I TOOK OFFICE. >> Laura: YET THE SAME TIME, A BIG ARGUMENT FOR BIDEN'S THAT HE IS INCAPABLE OF EXPLAINING HIS RECORD IN THE DEMOCRAT AGENDA. LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. DEMOCRATS KNOW THAT THERE ARE HUGE ADVANTAGES TO HAVING A FIGUREHEAD WHO CAN BARELY TALK AS THEIR NOMINEE BECAUSE THE PRESS WON'T BOTHER ASKING

BIDEN ANY HARD QUESTIONS. SURE, BECAUSE THEY ARE BUYS BUT ALSO BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT IS POINTLESS. IS LIKE TALKING TO A PIECE OF STYROFOAM. >> President Biden: THE OFFICE PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE ALONG, MITCH LANDRIEU AND OUR INTERSECTION COORDINATOR. SIXTH STREET BLINKEN HAD A GREAT TRIP TO CHINA, HAVING RAILWAY TO GO ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TWO-THIRDS FROM THE ATLANTIC OCEAN TO THE INDIAN OCEAN

IN AFRICA. >> Laura: NOW, THEY ACTUALLY PREFER THAT TO A DEMOCRAT TRYING TO JUSTIFY THE PARTY'S FRINGE RACE AND GENDER OBSESSION OR DEFENDING HIS PARTY'S HANDLING OF THE BORDER. IT IS REALLY INDEFENSIBLE. IT IS BETTER TO HAVE THE MUMBLING -DASH IN VOTERS IN PLACES LIKE VIRGINIA OR GEORGIA, THEY JUST WANT AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS. THEY DON'T WANT LIES ABOUT HOW BIDEN -DASH

BIDENOMICS IS WORKING. >> IT FLOWS OFF THE TONGUE VERY WELL. IT IS ABOUT GROWING THE ECONOMY, FROM THE MIDDLE OUT. >> Laura: WITH NO RESULTS. AS BAD AS THAT WAS, IT IS STILL BETTER THAN JOE TRYING TO MAKE THE CASE THAT YOU ARE BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE. >> President Biden: OVER TO YOU -- PAST TWO YEARS WE GOT A LOT DONE

TO GET THERE. SO KEEP IT GOING. REGARDING THE MOST VIBRANT ECONOMY IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. IN THE WORLD. >> Laura: NOBLY -- NO ONE BELIEVES THIS. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NOT BROKEN THE GLASS AND DRAGGED BARACK OBAMA OUT. ACCORDING TO POLITICO, OBAMA HAS BEEN MEETING WITH THE NEXT GENERATION DEMOCRATS LIKE AOC AND MAXWELL FROST. OBAMA EVEN SHOWED UP FOR LUNCH AT THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY. AND

WHILE IT WAS CLOSED TO THE PRESS, WE CAN ONLY ASSUME WE GOT A HERO' US WELCOME MICHAEL ESTIME. AND ANYTIME BARACK AND JOE ARE IN THE SAME ROOM, YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU. VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN, VICE PRESIDENT -- [LAUGHTER] THAT WAS A JOKE. >> Laura: IT WAS NOT A JOKE. YOU SEE HOW SMALL BIDEN LOOKS NEXT TO OBAMA WHO IS A

REALLY GOOD PUPPET -- POLITICIAN? BIDEN ALWAYS LOOKS DIMINISHED WHEN BROCK BEHRMAN SAW THE SUN. OTHER ALTERNATIVES, JB PRITZKER, OF COURSE, GRETCHEN WHITMER, OF MICHIGAN, THEY ARE GOING TO RUN INTO THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT NEWSOM WILL FACE IF THEY EVER THREW THEIR HEAD IN THE RING. OF COURSE, IN A CLASS OF UNLIKABLE AND UNTALENTED ALL BY HERSELF KAMALA HARRIS WHO IS ALWAYS TRUSTED WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT

ASSIGNMENTS. >> HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO STONEWALL? I'M SO EXCITED. DON'T BE EMBARRASSED. IT IS THE BAGGER OF THE SUMMER. YOU NEED TO PLAY OF YOUR PEOPLE AND THEY ARE GOING TO LOVE IT. EVERYBODY IS DOING IT. >> I LIKE IT. >> YES. THIS IS THE SONG OF THE SUMMER, OKAY. >> Laura: AND THEN THERE'S THE LAST. DEMOCRATS REALLY ARE BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD

PLACE HERE. THEY PROBABLY LIKE TO DUMP BIDEN. BUT FOR BETTER OR WORSE, THEY ARE STUCK WITH HIM. EVEN THOUGH THE HARD-CORE ACTIVISTS BASE OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HIS MOST AMERICAN TRADITIONS, OUR HISTORY AND OUR FOUNDERS, THERE ARE STILL DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE NOT DROPPED THE NEO- MARXIST, LATE AND THERE ARE MILLIONS OF INDEPENDENTS WHO WANT THINGS TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE TRANS-PEACOCKS PARADING

AROUND NAKED NEAR LITTLE KIDS. IF YOU'RE SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD WONDERING HOW BIDEN COULD STILL MOBILIZE ANY VOTERS, REMEMBER THIS. HE WILL DO ONLY CAREFULLY CHOREOGRAPHED CAMPAIGN EVENTS. [APPLAUSE] >> President Biden: SPREAD THE FAITH, FOLKS. THANK YOU ALL, SO, VERY, VERY MUCH. THANKS. OKAY. >> GOD BLESS AMERICA. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> DOWN HERE. [AWAY FROM MICROPHONE] >> Laura: WHEN DO WE PLAY THAT GAME WHERE WE THROW

THE BALL TO EACH OTHER? MOST AMERICANS DON'T FOLLOW POLITICS LIKE YOU DO AND THEY DON'T EVEN LISTEN TO WHAT BIDEN ACTUALLY SAYS. FROM THE DISTANCE, BUT I CAN STILL PASS AS SOMEONE FROM THE OLD DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THE ONE THAT DID NOT HATE AMERICA, THAT DID NOT THINK BEING A DEVOUT CATHOLIC. IS A HATE CRIME AND IF ALL CHEMICALS SHOULD BE PROSECUTED, NOT THOSE CRIMINALS SHOULD BE

PROSECUTED, NOT CODD
