00:00I'm Kayleigh McEnany and for Laura Ingraham, thank you for watching this special edition of
00:06The Ingraham Angle. This is a Fox News alert. The peace president has done it again. Trump making
00:12history today in the Middle East and achieving what the critics believed impossible. The president
00:17signed a historic peace agreement in the Middle East, ending two years of fighting between Israel
00:23and Gaza and freeing all 20 living hostages held captive by Hamas. He began the day delivering a
00:29speech at the Israeli Knesset on his consequential Gaza peace deal. Generations from now, this will
00:36be remembered as the moment that everything began to change and change very much for the better.
00:43Like the USA right now, it will be the golden age of Israel and the golden age of the Middle East.
00:51He later traveled to Egypt, where he signed the agreement alongside the world leaders that you're
00:56looking at. And nearly every world leader lined up for a chance to greet him, to shake his hand as
01:02they posed for a historic photo. This took 3,000 years to get to this point. Can you believe it?
01:10And it's going to hold up, too. It's going to hold up. Today demonstrated why President Trump will
01:15forever be known as the peace president. All remaining Israeli hostages who have been held captive for more
01:21than two years by a murderous terrorist organization, returned home today. And the world experienced a
01:28collective moment of joy as we witness scenes like this.
01:42That was Avi Natan Orr reuniting with his girlfriend Noah Argamani. You may remember Noah Argamani from that
01:49infamous video that you see here where she was kidnapped by terrorists in front of her petrified
01:54boyfriend. They were living a nightmare then, but now you just saw their reunification. And then there's
02:01this, Omri Maran, a husband to Lashai, a father to four-year-old Roni, and two-year-old Alma. Omri's brother-in-law
02:08told me this Saturday, this, sharing his anticipation for this moment.
02:13We shared this morning with Roni and Alma the possibility that Omri will come home.
02:22We framed it as if we had successful meetings in the U.S. They knew their mother is going there in
02:28order to advocate for him. And we framed it as such that it was so successful that this time
02:35they may be able to meet him soon. We did frame it in a very cautious way because, as I said,
02:43there's no real certainty yet Hamas will carry it out. I don't trust the terrorist organization
02:48to be a good faith partner in any agreement. But Roni was so excited to hear it. The first thing she
02:55did was drawing a picture for her father that she wants to give to him once he returns.
03:02Here was that picture that four-year-old Roni drew. And here is the beautiful image of Omri
03:09greeting his wife and two beautiful daughters for the very first time in more than two years.
03:14His youngest was just six months old when he was taken. Now, unfortunately, some hostages will
03:19never return home, like Ariel and Kaffir Beavis. You're looking at them, the youngest hostages
03:23from October 7th. But today, their father, Yarden, who was released back in February, witnessed one of
03:29his close friends' return home, David Cuneo. Yarden Beavis ran into a Hamas leader while in
03:35captivity and asked to remain with Cuneo. There are many more stories just like those from today's
03:41release of The Last Living Hostages. And it's all thanks to this man, to our president.
03:47Together, we've achieved what everybody said was impossible. At long last, we have peace
03:53in the Middle East. And it's a very simple expression, peace in the Middle East. And we've
03:57heard it for many years, but nobody thought it could ever get there. And now we're there.
04:02This was a manifestation, manifestation of a vision that the president laid out just five months ago
04:08during his very first foreign trip, a trip to the Middle East.
04:11Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts of
04:16tired divisions of the past and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by
04:22commerce, not chaos, where it exports technology, not terrorism, and where people of different
04:29nations, religions and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other out of existence.
04:37We don't want that. Though many have given up on the concept of ending this war, President Trump
04:41never wavered. A little more than five years ago, he kicked off his mission with the signing of the
04:46Abraham Accords at the White House. And today's images bear a striking resemblance to that very
04:52same day. A different day, but the same mission, bringing peace to Israel and throughout the
04:58Middle East. Here with his reaction to this historic day, Newt Gingrich, Fox News political
05:02analyst and former Speaker of the House. Speaker Gingrich, you know, I'm struck by what today means.
05:08I'm struck by what it means for the legacy of the president. You had Biden, who in his first six
05:12weeks in office decided to convene historians to decide how he could be like FDR, but he was no
05:18transformational figure. President Trump has achieved that. Winston Churchill's status.
05:24Yeah, look, I think historians are going to study for the next 50 years to try to understand
05:31what was the magic that President Trump brought. You know, he first talked about this in a speech that
05:38Jared Kuchman wrote for AIPAC during the campaign in 2016. So he was thinking and talking
05:48about peace in the Middle East all the way through. And the amazing thing about President Trump,
05:54and maybe it's because he's a Gemini, so he has twins. He can focus totally on the moment. And yet
06:00the other part of him is strategically thinking years and decades ahead. And the two somehow come
06:06together in a way that's almost magical. I watched this afternoon and I was close and I both watched it.
06:13We watched Jerusalem. Then we watched Sharm el-Sheikh. It's an extraordinary moment. And
06:20figuring out why is it that for all these years, I mean, Israel has been embattled for almost its
06:26entire nearly 80 years of existence. And now suddenly Donald Trump comes along, changes the whole game.
06:33No, no American president has gone anything like this. Theodore Roosevelt got a peace prize for
06:40having helped bring the Russian-Japanese war together in, I think, 1905. But this is totally
06:46different. Here is a moment in history where you saw all these countries all coming together. You saw
06:52that Trump personally knew every person on that stage. You saw that here's somebody who can literally
06:58span the planet with personal friends, contacts, intermediaries, and represents a level of vision
07:06and a level of toughness. I mean, as he himself said, without the B-2 bombers taking out the Iranian
07:13system, we still might not be here. But that ability to come all the way from Missouri and to end up
07:21taking out all those facilities with such precision accuracy, that said something to the whole planet,
07:26that, in fact, the United States is still, by a huge margin, the leading power on the planet.
07:33And imagine how both Xi and Putin must have felt watching this, realizing that they were seeing the
07:40real leader of the world, and they've seen the world gather around him voluntarily, not out of fear,
07:47but out of hope, that with him, they're going to actually create a peaceful, prosperous, and safe
07:52Middle East.
07:52You know, I'm so glad that you described this as a well-orchestrated plan that really suddenly came
07:58to fruition, because both things are true. There were the Abraham Accords five years ago. There
08:02was a four-year diversion from the plan with President Joe Biden. And then you had the bombing
08:06of Fordow, which was instrumental to making this happen. But I lay all that out because I want to
08:10pull up Antony Blinken here, of course, Secretary of State for Joe Biden. He says this,
08:14it's good that President Trump adopted and built on the plan that the Biden administration
08:19developed. Speaker Gingrich, that makes me bristle. This was not a Biden-era plan that
08:25came to fruition.
08:27Well, it doesn't make me bristle. Look, the entire Democratic left wing is out of touch with
08:33reality and verges on crazy. Blinken is part of that group. Why would you think that he has any
08:39realistic sense of what happened? They were a disaster in Afghanistan. They were a disaster in
08:45Ukraine. They were a disaster in the Middle East. There were a disaster in Venezuela.
08:50Every time you turn around, left wing Democrats do not understand the real world. They do not
08:55understand how it works. But you can't expect Blinken to go off quietly.
09:00Yeah, no doubt about it. Speaker Gingrich, thank you very much for that insight.
09:04Well, as we just noted, it was without question a historic day. But there are some on the Biden team
09:08that agree with Antony Blinken. They had mixed feelings. That's what Politico reported,
09:13that Biden aides are having, quote, bittersweet feelings about President Donald Trump's progress
09:18toward ending the Israel-Hamas war. They also have a bit of sour grapes, arguing that they laid the
09:24groundwork for Trump's effort and that he could have executed it much earlier. One former official
09:29said this, it's good that he came around, but it's a tragedy that it took so long. And as I just
09:36mentioned, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that it was a Biden-era plan. And Biden's former
09:41deputy defense secretary echoed the same sentiment on CNN.
09:45The Biden administration on its way out tried to get to a deal. It did not. What do you think is
09:52the difference here in this moment that put the Trump team ahead? Yeah, the framework that has
09:58been put into place in this 20-point plan that the Trump administration has implemented builds on the
10:02framework of the Biden administration. But here were the more honest Biden officials. These are the
10:08ones who made comments to Axios during President Trump's historic foreign trip across the Middle
10:12East back in May. One said, gosh, I wish I could work for an administration that could move that
10:18quickly. Another said it's pretty remarkable how quickly he can move. Biden's former deputy national
10:24security advisor Ben Rhodes told Axios on Syria, it's so clearly the right decision. I don't know why Joe
10:30Biden didn't do this. And Rob Malley admitted he was in awe of Trump's willingness to brazenly shatter
10:38so many harmful taboos. Here with us is Victoria Coates, former Trump deputy national security advisor.
10:45You know, Victoria, it's great to have you here. I'm just wondering, as you read that,
10:49it's really striking to me that they try to lay credit to this, where you have honest folks like
10:54Hillary Clinton who say, hey, President Biden deserves a Nobel Peace Prize if he makes Russia and Ukraine
10:59happen. Well, Kayleigh, great to be with you. I'm not so sure I'd go so far as to call Hillary honest,
11:06but you're absolutely correct. This is just disgraceful and these people should be embarrassed.
11:11What President Trump did was shift the Biden administration policy by 180 degrees. He did it
11:18by actually advocating for the Israeli hostages right after he was reelected, before he was even
11:23inaugurated. He was their strongest advocate outside of Israel. Then he also got tough on Iran.
11:30Instead of coddling the Iranians, trying to tap them along, trying to get to a deal with them,
11:35he bombed them with the B2s. It was fantastic. And then finally, he got with our Arab partners and
11:41allies who were shunned by the Biden administration. They were totally allergic to their fossil fuels
11:46and to the fact that they weren't constitutional democracies and they wouldn't deal with them.
11:51And he said, we're all going to get it on the same page. And guess what that wound up
11:54achieving? A big win tonight. Yeah, I take your point on the word honesty and Hillary in the same
12:00sentence. But she did praise President Trump, I will say, on this deal. She did. She praised him by
12:04name. But I want you to listen to this, Victoria. This is a former hostage. Listen to what he said
12:09Hamas told him about President Trump. Ever since he came into the world, they were very scared of him.
12:16Yeah, they wanted terrorists. Yeah, they wanted Kamala to be chosen, to be elected. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:27They wanted Kamala to be elected. As soon as Donald Trump was elected, they understood that he wants
12:38to bring the hostages back home. Seems like Hamas had a pretty clear view of who the real commander in
12:43chief would be. Absolutely. And they had seen from Kamala Harris and Antony Blinken and Jake Sullivan
12:52just a lot of equivocacy over the first year and a half of the war, trying to restrain Israel, trying
12:58to communicate with Hamas. No, the president said he's going to do absolutely the opposite. And the
13:03other thing he did in cracking down on Iran and on the other terrorist proxies is he cut off all the
13:09money to Hamas. And the reporting is that one of the reasons Hamas finally agreed to this deal
13:14is because the Qataris and Egyptians also threatened to cut them off on the president's
13:19instructions. And they couldn't move money around anymore. They just ran out. So that's why this
13:24conference in Sharm el-Shek was so important today, because those are all the people who can
13:29actually rebuild Gaza, can create this brighter, better future for the Strip and for the Palestinians
13:36that live there. Hamas has nothing to offer anymore. Victoria, thank you. President Trump
13:42says the deal would not have been possible without actions that he took just a few months ago.
13:47It really started when we took out the nuclear capability of Iran. When you look at what they
13:53had, you couldn't have made this deal of somebody sitting over there with a nuclear weapon over your
13:57head. And I think when we did that, and there were other obviously very warlike things that we did
14:03over the course of four or five years, if you, you know, setting the table. But when we did the,
14:09the, when we took away that destructive capability from Iran.
14:13Trump also credited countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Egypt for
14:19helping the U.S. broker this historic deal. Now, phase one of the 20-point peace plan has just begun.
14:24So what happens next? Here with us is Christian Whiten, former State Department senior advisor.
14:29Christian, I spoke with the architect, one of the architects, I should say, of the Abraham Accords
14:35earlier. He's my former colleague, Avi Berkowitz. He, alongside Jared Kushner, was instrumental to
14:40those deals. Listen to what he said about the way forward. The president understands the power of
14:46momentum. I know that his team, led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, have a very specific plan that
14:52they will enact over the coming months. And they'll, they'll use today's momentum to achieve
14:57significant, significant things. So do you think this momentum carries us through to phase two and
15:03beyond? It can, it should. I mean, momentum is a good thing, but I don't think it detracts from the
15:09historic nature of the agreement to say that there are a lot of things that have to be worked out.
15:13The 20-point plan in some ways was very detailed, but it leaves open questions about security. It says
15:19that Gaza, that Hamas not only will be demilitarized, but de-radicalized. And that may be a tall order,
15:26because the way that the government of Egypt and the Gulf monarchies that are going to have to pay
15:31for rebuilding sort of exist in funding is by suppressing political Islam, suppressing the
15:36Muslim Brotherhood, which is the same thing as Hamas. So in Gaza, you have Hamas still sort of
15:42on the war path, just not against Israel. They're killing other Arabs now who disagree with them.
15:45So who is going to provide security for reconstruction? Things like that need to be answered. But I think
15:50they can be. It just hasn't been done yet.
15:52You know, the old mantra of speak softly, but carry a big stick. You know, you could argue
15:57President Trump, he's obviously verbally very tough on our enemies. But if you go back,
16:00and I did today, and read his Riyadh speech that he gave on that first foreign trip, he gives Iran
16:05an opening. He says, you can choose to be a member of the international community, or you can choose
16:09another path. They chose another path. And a few months later, the stick came, and that was the bombing
16:14of Fordow and the obliteration of those nuclear facilities in Iran. That Fordow moment, I think that was a
16:21key, key moment to making today happen. President Trump said the same. What are your thoughts?
16:27I think so. Trump said that. Your two previous guests, Newton Victoria, said that.
16:31Fundamentally, you know, it used to be that, well, we have to solve Israel-Palestine before you can
16:35solve anything in the Middle East. And Trump proved he flipped that and said, no, if you put Iran in a
16:40box, then these other problems will become solvable. I think it was also very important for Israel to
16:45bomb Qatar. That really showed the double-crossing, double-dealing Qataris who have, frankly, appeased
16:52the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas and used Al Jazeera, which helped kill our troops in Iraq.
16:57And Trump gave them an off-ramp, too, a gracious way to come in from the cold, stop double-timing,
17:02and join this coalition that actually is going to have to pay for rebuilding Gaza.
17:06Yeah, he gave them a choice, and they chose the other way. Christian, thank you.
17:10Coming up, Blue City leaders double down on their anti-ice madness, and hundreds of naked
17:16bike riders, ooh, you won't want to see that, try to get in ICE's way. Next.
17:24The anti-ICE crowd just won't stop. Another weekend of chaos erupted outside the windy city
17:29of Chicago. More than 20 people were arrested between Friday and Saturday outside an ICE detention
17:35facility, all while Governor J.B. Pritzker threatens ICE on television.
17:39The tables will turn someday. These people should recognize that maybe they're not going
17:44to get prosecuted today, although we're looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted
17:49after the Trump administration for the things that they did because the statute of limitations
17:54won't have run. We're just talking to the state's attorneys and to the attorney general
18:00of the state of Illinois about how they can go at this.
18:05And Barack Obama is even stoking the flames.
18:08So, when you now start seeing the politicization of the military, deliberately, right?
18:17They just landed in Chicago.
18:18Yeah. When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection,
18:26or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy.
18:45Here to discuss is Victor Davis Hanson, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Victor, as I listen
18:52to this, I hear two things. One, ICE is the problem. Two, nothing to see here in Chicago,
18:56except I read the federal government's court filings. Turn to page 11. Here's what you'll
19:00find, and let's scroll it. These are all the crimes that have been committed against ICE agents.
19:05They're not good. Assaulted with rocks, bricks, pepper spray, incendiary devices,
19:10rammed vehicles off the road, a bounty, break-ins at homes. Our viewers can see it there. It seems
19:15like there is something going on in Chicago, and it's not the ICE agents.
19:21Yeah. Barack Obama said he was a constitutional law lawyer. He should reread Article 6 of the
19:28Constitution. It says the federal government has a right and supersedes state law when it's a matter
19:33of either enforcing federal laws, like federal immigration law, or protecting federal property.
19:38And to think otherwise is one of the reasons we had a civil war in 1861. But you know, it's so
19:45ironic, Kaylee, that here we have Donald Trump striding like a colossus over the Middle East,
19:51and we have Gavin Newsom tweeting out each week somebody's going to hit in the mouth,
19:56or smack, or threaten Kristi Noem, or Pritzer, trying to say that he's going to use lawfare again
20:02when he gets his chance. And everybody knows they're going after criminals in this first round
20:07of deportations, or people who already have gone through the system. They know it, but they have
20:12no answer, so they want to create chaos in a nihilistic fashion. So people say, I don't know
20:17who's responsible, just make it all go away. Same thing with shutting down the government.
20:22They have no agenda, they just want to shut it down long enough to put the economy in recession,
20:26and then say Trump did it. But they're all negative. They have nothing positive to say,
20:31and they're getting desperate. Now you have Kamala Harris or Chuck Schumer letting off F-bombs,
20:36or Putty's videos coming out of Congress. It's really pathetic.
20:41You know, Victor, I'm glad you brought up history. You just brought up the Civil War.
20:44A man named Chris Welch out in Illinois, a Democrat elected official, needs a history lesson.
20:49Listen to his comparison of what's happening there in Chicago to the Berlin Wall.
20:53And an American president actually ordered an iron fence to be erected in an American city.
21:03Just as the Berlin Wall did in 1961, this fence stands as a symbol of division.
21:10Mr. Trump, tear down this fence now.
21:14So the fence is now the Berlin Wall?
21:18Well, you know, when the governor of Arizona a little while, a few years ago,
21:25said that the federal government under the Obama administration, and then later under Biden,
21:31they were not enforcing federal law, and they said they would do it if Arizona would do it
21:37if the federal government didn't. And what did they do?
21:38They sued them and said, you don't understand the Article VI of the Constitution.
21:42States have no right to interfere in federal immigration matters.
21:45That was the Obama administration. And they said, we have, and they weren't enforcing it.
21:50So how weird that when they wouldn't enforce it and a governor wanted to do,
21:55they said you have no jurisdiction. And then when the governor's trying to stop the federal government,
22:01they say they do have jurisdiction. So they don't know. They're not coherent.
22:05They're just so desperate because they're on the wrong side of every issue.
22:09They're 30-60 on every issue. And they're suicidal. And they have no legislative, judicial, Supreme Court power.
22:17And what we get is pornographic language and smut and anger and just lashing out.
22:22Meanwhile, Trump is, I don't know, creating peace worldwide. And that drives them even crazier, I guess.
22:28Well, pornographic anger. Thanks for teeing up my next segment, Victor Davis Hanson. Thank you.
22:33The craziness in Chicago is nothing compared to Portland, Oregon, where protesters really bared it all to protest ICE.
22:40It's a bunch of naked protesters. We blurted for you. We know you may be eating dinner.
23:03But they're just having fun out there in Portland. So don't worry.
23:06There's been an uptick in the silliness and just the fun side of it.
23:14Not that this is a fun thing that we're doing, but community is beautiful.
23:19And joy in standing up for your neighbors is beautiful.
23:22And showing that we are nonviolent and there's nothing more nonviolent than silly costumes.
23:29Here to discuss is Jason Rantz, Seattle Red Radio host.
23:32Jason, you know, as I look at that, it's not a lot of people just having fun.
23:36There has been violence that we've seen in Portland.
23:38But one protester said this naked bike ride they did was, quote, quintessentially Portland.
23:43You're from, you know, that neck of the woods. Is this quintessentially Portland?
23:47I mean, it is weird and it's common to see ugly people get nude in public.
23:52I think we should get hazard pay for the ICE agents who had to endure this.
23:56But the problem here is AP is a perfect example of taking the bait.
24:01You get these lunatics who show up and they make this into some silly event and then they focus on that.
24:07And again, completely ignore the violence, completely ignore the arrest that happened over the weekend and instead portray everything as the Trump administration is going overboard.
24:16Look, they're responding to naked bicyclists and people in banana costumes.
24:20But, of course, that's not what's actually happening.
24:23And again, as you note, these are people who are showing up in the middle of the day to protest.
24:28It is much different in the middle of the day than it is at night when almost every single night we see people who are on the Antifa bandwagon,
24:35the folks who are the extremists, who take very dangerous postures against these ICE agents.
24:41But even on the silly stuff that we see, their end goal is the same.
24:45It's to block the entrance to this particular facility, which prevents the ICE agents from actually going into the community
24:52and making arrests of folks who aren't just in this country illegally but are criminal in addition to being here illegally.
25:00Yeah, and you make a great point because at night it is entirely different.
25:03You know, I read some of those filings as well, and protesters literally tried to set the ICE facility on fire as other protesters threw accelerants on it.
25:11So that's what's happening at night.
25:13But back to this daytime protest, I want you to see what these costumed protesters were shouting at ICE.
25:20Change! Change! Change! Change! Change! Change! Change! Change! Change!
25:25No ICE. No ICE.
25:27And we're showing our full selves to these fully armed authoritarians.
25:33I'm here tonight because this is literally, actually bananas.
25:37But the frog protester has a fan. Let's see who it is.
25:41I'll just throw this in, too. I'm a fan of the Portland frog, too, just by the way.
25:47Look, Portland's going to do it Portland's way, but they're damn sure fighting it, too.
25:52It's amazing that guy was a candidate for vice president, nominee, rather.
25:55Yeah, something tells me there's not anyone in the Trump administration or with ICE who is intimidated by a dude in a banana suit or a frog suit.
26:05These are people who are completely unserious clowns, and it tells you that they're in it more to express their personality than they are to protect that community.
26:15But, again, it would be a mistake for anyone to confuse any of this for the reality of what Portland becomes at night outside of that ICE facility.
26:23Yeah, those poor ICE officers. You have violence at night, people trying to light your building on fire.
26:28And then during the daytime, you get to see these beautiful nude people.
26:31Jason, thank you.
26:32You're beautiful.
26:34Coming up, the humiliation gets worse for Kamala Harris.
26:37She just revealed who sent her straight to voicemail.
26:40She was ghosted in a new interview with MSNBC, Kamala admitted Joe Biden is no longer picking up her calls.
26:50I want to get to some news that just came out today with President Biden.
26:54His spokesperson said that he is going to now start doing radiation for his prostate cancer.
27:01Have you talked to him about it?
27:03I called him earlier.
27:04How's he doing?
27:06I have not talked to him.
27:07I just left him a message after I heard the news.
27:10I was otherwise on the event at the event.
27:15Listen, I think Joe Biden is a fighter, and that is what I told him and left him a message.
27:21He's a fighter, and he's going to fight this.
27:25She also insisted that Americans should no longer trust the DOJ.
27:28I don't know if we can trust what's coming out of the Department of Justice right now.
27:34When you have an administration and individuals who are manipulating the justice system of America in that way,
27:45they best understand that this is not only about something that affects the individuals that they're targeting.
27:51This affects all of us.
27:54A justice system is actually supposed to be blind.
27:57In the way that it does its work, not targeting people because of who they are or, for that matter, what they look like.
28:05Here to react is Ned Ryan, American Majority CEO, along with Kaylee McGee-White, Fox News contributor.
28:12Ned, I see you shaking your head there.
28:14Was Kamala ghosted?
28:16Well, she was.
28:17And how embarrassing that she actually admitted it in an interview.
28:21I mean, I have to tell you, Kaylee, this feels like a revenge tour slash self-immolation tour, more masquerading as a book tour.
28:29And it just feels like also Night of the Living Dead.
28:33Like, dear God, are we still having a book tour for this book and having Kamala out there who doesn't realize she's politically dead?
28:41Like, what does she think her future is in the party after she completely rips Joe Biden, appears confused that he won't pick up her phone calls,
28:47and then just has proceeded to torch almost every other person in the Democratic Party and still thinks that she has a future?
28:55You know, I think it'd be pretty interesting to ask everybody in the Democratic Party now,
28:59do you think it'd be a good idea if Kamala Harris ran in 2028?
29:02And I'm pretty sure if they're being honest, almost to a person, they would all say no.
29:07Well, one person may say yes, that this person was asked about Kamala Harris.
29:12Mark Kelly, let's bring him in.
29:13Do you think that Kamala Harris would be a strong candidate in 2028?
29:20Candidate? Yeah, absolutely.
29:22Yeah, I mean, she was the nominee last time.
29:24You would encourage her to run?
29:25I think she would be incredibly strong.
29:28I think you're going to have, you know, a dozen, if not more, folks running, probably on either side.
29:34I mean, Kaylee, are the auditions for vice president already happening?
29:37What is going on with that?
29:38Yeah, he might be upset that he got passed over this last time.
29:43It's interesting that he says just a candidate, though.
29:45He doesn't seem very confident in her chances in a primary field.
29:48And I can't really blame him.
29:50I can't really blame Joe Biden, for that matter, for not taking Kamala Harris's calls.
29:54I mean, it's difficult enough for us to try and figure out what Kamala says on a daily basis,
29:58let alone if you're Joe Biden trying to discern her various word salads.
30:02But I think part of this also is that Democrats don't really want to take part in the pity party that Kamala Harris is currently throwing herself.
30:10She's on this book tour right now trying to insist that everyone else is to blame for her loss except for herself.
30:16And the fact is she hasn't learned any of the lessons from 2024.
30:20She hasn't learned any of the lessons from her own mistakes that she made.
30:23And right now, the only action that she's taken is becoming a person so unlikable that everything that she says has just confirmed why voters rejected her in November and why they're glad that she lost.
30:35Ned, today is Columbus Day, and I just want to walk back down memory lane and bring up Kamala Harris back when she was vice president.
30:43Here's what she had to say in this day in history a few years ago.
30:46And I want you to compare where we'd be right now if Kamala Harris were president of the United States.
30:51Instead of hostages being freed, we'd be getting a little bit of this.
30:54It is an honor, of course, to be with you this week as we celebrate Indigenous People's Day.
31:00We must not shy away from this shameful past.
31:09It's pretty amazing where we're at today.
31:11Thank God Donald Trump decided he was running again and that he won.
31:14That we were, you know, that he prevented her from being president.
31:18What a disaster we would be as a country and, quite frankly, across the world, as you mentioned, the peace deal that was done today.
31:24But the thing that Donald Trump has done and that that should make us so proud is that he wants to celebrate the greatness of who we are as a country.
31:33And he's not ashamed of it.
31:34And it's it's it's awesome for this country to be able to celebrate who we are instead of this constant nonstop running us down.
31:42We should be ashamed of who we are and not be proud of who we are as a country and what we've accomplished.
31:48Donald Trump has brought back pride in this country and I couldn't be happier.
31:52Kaylee, it really is striking.
31:54I mean, I really, truly believe if Kamala Harris had been president and I was just looking back at a political article about how she wanted a cabinet of progressives for foreign policy.
32:04Hostages would not have been released today.
32:06We would be being fed a whole lot of this politically correct B.S. about Indigenous People Day with no deliverables on the world stage.
32:16Absolutely. And by the way, keep in mind that if Kamala Harris had her way, Donald Trump would be serving 700 years in prison right now.
32:23Instead, he's he's single handedly erasing every single disastrous mark that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris left on this country.
32:30And that's what this is all about. All about Kamala Harris is upset about that.
32:34And she's trying to save herself from further embarrassment as Trump continues to dominate on the world stage and at home for all of Americans.
32:42You know, Ned, I do want to play this little flashback. Kamala Harris, her foreign policy finesse. Let's watch.
32:50It is very well known that Donald Trump is weak and wrong on national security and foreign policy.
32:56I mean, boy, we'd be down the river without a paddle.
33:01No joke. And honestly, Donald Trump's resume shows the exact opposite.
33:07I mean, he has been able to bring peace around the globe just in the first, what, nine, 10 months of this second administration because of who he is and the strength that he has shown on the international stage.
33:18And quite frankly, he's having to clean up a lot of the messes from the Biden administration, from Kamala Harris because of the absolute weakness they showed on the international stage.
33:26It is striking, Kayleigh, the difference that real strong leadership brings when you get it back to the White House, how Donald Trump has brought peace to the world when they brought destabilization.
33:37He's through strength. He has redefined foreign policy.
33:39And I do believe that we'll be studying this move of diplomacy and history books for years to come.
33:44Ned and Kayleigh, thank you.
33:46Coming up, the Dems' new it girl proves she's clueless on the shutdown.
33:50Despite federal layoffs, Democrats are refusing to budge on reopening the government.
33:59And they're sticking behind their leader, Chuck Schumer, who claimed government workers are hostages.
34:04Even the government workers, when you talk to them, they resent being used as hostages.
34:10They resent being used as pawns by Donald Trump.
34:13And it's the kind of thing that Trump does, but the American people don't like it.
34:18President Trump didn't mince words on his way to the Middle East, reminding Americans who's to blame.
34:24We're ending some programs that we don't want.
34:26They happen to be Democrat-sponsored programs.
34:29But we're ending some programs that we never wanted.
34:33And we're probably not going to allow them to come back.
34:36I think they made a mistake.
34:37I think they made a big mistake.
34:38This is really a Schumer shutdown because he's become sort of irrelevant and he wants to make himself relevant.
34:46No doubt.
34:48Well, the shutdown has become a political game that Hill Democrats are willing to die on just despite Trump.
34:53And the party's rising star, well, she had an assessment.
34:56I cast my no vote because ain't nobody coming to me and asked me what the people in my district need.
35:03They didn't ask me what would look good for those in South Dallas.
35:07I don't work for him.
35:07He can't hire me.
35:08He can't fire me.
35:09The people that elected me in Texas 30 did.
35:11So unless you want to have a conversation with me about the priorities for the people in my district, baby, you're not getting this vote.
35:18Here to discuss is Buck Sexton, co-host of The Clay and Buck Show.
35:24Buck, I mean, I don't know what to make of what we just listened to there from Jasmine Crockett, but maybe you can.
35:30No, I don't think Democrats know what they're saying either at this point, Kayleigh.
35:34The reality is Trump has completely outmaneuvered them on this whole shutdown because the Republicans, along with them, were willing to fund a clean CR or put forward a clean CR, fund the government.
35:45It all should have been very easy, and Schumer had voted for this in the past.
35:50Not only is, I think, the public perception of this different than shutdowns in the past, but Trump's kind of enjoying himself with this whole situation.
35:58It gives some options about cutting things, obviously shows that Democrats have no agenda and have no policies that they want to push.
36:05And a lot of the usual talking points, I think, are falling flat, while President Trump is busy taking a well-deserved victory tour of Mideast peace the last 24 hours.
36:16So, so far, so good.
36:18The Schumer shutdown is making things look, I think, bleak for Democrats going into the elections coming up, and I think even in the midterms.
36:25Yeah, the Democrats keep coming up with a rotating cascade of talking points.
36:29And I want to bring in Yvette Clark.
36:31Let's see her take on the government shutdown, her attempt at Dem talking points.
36:35We know that they have been targeting black and brown employees ever since they came through the doors.
36:43You know, this whole rhetoric around diversity, equity, inclusion was beyond a door whistle.
36:48It reaffirms what we know about this administration, unfortunately.
36:53We're dealing with white supremacism.
36:55Is that what we're dealing with, just white supremacists?
36:58That's the cause of the government shutdown.
36:59No, actually, what we are seeing is a federal government that is enforcing the law.
37:06And the Supreme Court has made it very clear that racial preferences, for example, are something that are unconstitutional.
37:13And some of these DEI offices, which were created, I would note, at the behest of other administrations, are being shut down because this administration no longer thinks that people should be treated differently based on skin color in government hiring and college admissions or anywhere else for that matter.
37:30So this is now just the straightforward application of the law by the federal government, which Democrats should want.
37:37But really what we see, I think, is they have no effective counter, Kayleigh, to the Trump agenda.
37:43The Trump agenda is not only working, it is popular.
37:46And instead of resting on laurels, every time he gets a win, he is either currently or concurrently moving on others or moves on to the next possible win.
37:56And they simply are caught flat footed every single day.
37:59I have never seen the Democrat Party as weak as it is right now.
38:03And I have never seen the Republican Party united behind Donald Trump as strong as it is right now.
38:08And I think that's pretty remarkable, given it's only year one of his second term.
38:12So true. Democrats, feckless, aimless, shutting down the government.
38:15And then Donald Trump, Middle East peace over here.
38:17I mean, I'll take this one.
38:19Buck, all right.
38:19I think so.
38:21Coming up, Katy Perry spotted living her teenage dream with a jobless Canadian bachelor.
38:28You won't believe this.
38:29But at least there's some fireworks on his dating scene.
38:35Kevin Cork, Fox News senior national correspondent, has the details.
38:38Kevin.
38:39Evening, Kayleigh.
38:40On this, the day of peace, I'm reminded of the signature four words of the late, great Don Cornelius of, you know, Soul Train fame.
38:47He used to say, peace, love, and soul.
38:50And with that, yes, we have peace all day.
38:53We've been talking about it.
38:54And if you look at the pics, maybe budding love here.
38:57But if it's soul you're looking for, call me a skeptic.
39:01Half-hearted auntie hugs, head-turned kisses.
39:04I've seen more passion from Jerry Nadler ordering a cub salad.
39:08A cob salad, for that matter.
39:10Yeah, it makes for great tabloid stuff.
39:11I got all that.
39:12The 40-year-old pop star and the 53-year-old former Canadian prime minister together on her yacht off the Santa Barbara coast.
39:19Daily Mail publishing those photos.
39:21They said he, well, they got to the bottom of it all.
39:25They said that he gave her a pat on the peaches.
39:28A grip and grin.
39:30Better her than me.
39:32Oh, my gosh.
39:34Kevin Cork, you're making me blush.
39:35And I love that we describe him as the jobless Canadian bachelor.
39:39That is what he is.
39:40All of those attributes are true.
39:42All right, Kevin, thank you.
39:44Well, it has been a historic day here and across the world as we saw the return of 20 hostages.
39:50Beautiful moments of reunification.
39:53We'll cover this all week.
39:54President Trump making history in that monumental Gaza peace deal.
39:58It was something to behold seeing him there with foreign leaders signing those accords.
40:03Well, catch me tomorrow on Unnumbered.
40:04And don't forget, also catch me Saturday in America with Kayleigh McEnany.
40:0910 a.m. Eastern time to noon every Saturday.
40:12We have a big protest this weekend.
40:13Make sure to tune in.
40:14But for now, Jesse Waters takes it from here.
