00:01I'm Charlie Hurt in for Laura Ingraham, and this is a special edition of The Ingraham Angle.
00:07Happy Election Eve, everyone.
00:09We're exactly 24 hours away from the first polls, closing in some key races.
00:15And Democrats are throwing out their trusted message.
00:19Trump bad.
00:21He's just a vile creature.
00:23The worst thing on the face of the earth, but anyway.
00:26You think he's the worst thing on the face of the earth?
00:28I do, yeah. I do.
00:30Why is that?
00:31Because he's the president of the United States, and he does not honor the Constitution of the United States.
00:37In fact, he's turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court.
00:42He's abolished the House of Representatives.
00:45Democrats are so on edge, they've even brought out their big closer.
00:51It's not as if we didn't see some of this coming.
00:53I will admit it's worse than even I expected, but I did warn y'all.
01:02He warned you, too, because he said what he was going to do.
01:07But the fact is, there were plenty of people who voted for Trump and the Republicans anyway,
01:13because they were understandably frustrated with inflation and gas prices and the difficulty of affording a home
01:20and worries about their children's future, and so they were willing to take a chance.
01:27Now, nine months later, you've got to ask yourself, has any of that gotten better?
01:35Yeah, actually, it has.
01:39Barack Obama making the argument for Republicans as he was stumping in Virginia for Abigail Spanberger
01:44and in New Jersey for Mikey Sherrill.
01:47He made one thing clear.
01:49Democrats still have a complete lack of self-awareness.
01:53They have no clue why voters keep rejecting them.
01:56They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and blame DEI for every problem under the sun.
02:11You got a flat tire?
02:13Must be DEI.
02:17Your wife kicked you out?
02:20DEI.
02:23Who knew?
02:24And because he had a microphone handy, Obama couldn't miss a chance to lecture us on how the country is behaving.
02:33Our country and our politics are in a pretty dark place right now.
02:38Every day, this White House offers up a French batch of lawlessness and recklessness and mean-spiritedness
02:52and just plain craziness.
02:56A dark place?
02:57Interesting choice of words since he was appearing at the same event as Jay Jones,
03:03the Virginia attorney general candidate who fantasized about the death of a rival and his young children.
03:10He even called the family evil and little fascists.
03:13Is that the mean-spirited behavior that Obama was speaking of?
03:17Why did Democrats drag him out to begin with?
03:20One can only assume he just enjoys the clout that comes with being the leader of a rudderless party.
03:26The problem is that he isn't even bold enough to endorse the third-rail candidate himself,
03:32Zoran Mamdani.
03:33He's happy to call his campaign impressive, as was reported in the New York Times over the weekend.
03:39But he, like Chuck Schumer, just won't go all of the way and endorse him.
03:45Let's contrast that with President Trump when he was asked about Mamdani.
03:49Some people have compared him to a left-wing version of you.
03:54Charismatic, breaking the old rules.
03:56What do you think about that?
03:57Well, I think I'm a much better looking person than him, right?
04:00But what if Mamdani becomes mayor?
04:02It's going to be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York.
04:07Because if you have a communist running New York, all you're doing is wasting the money you're sending there.
04:13So why send money to Mamdani if that money is just going to be set on fire?
04:18And why does Mamdani need that money since he plans on just raising taxes on the richest New Yorkers?
04:26According to a new poll, nearly a million New Yorkers might be moving out of the Big Apple if Mamdani wins.
04:33So he may not have much to choose from.
04:36But for those who aren't leaving, they will be left with the best and the brightest.
04:41I am voting Mamdani.
04:43And why?
04:44Because he's the most obvious choice.
04:48What makes him an obvious choice for you?
04:52It's just like, I'm trying to think because I'm voting for the guy who gave me the Lamborghini.
04:59Yeah, so you think Mamdani's like, just going to give you guys everything?
05:01Not everything.
05:02I'm saying it's the most obvious choice.
05:06Here now, Kellyanne Conway, Fox News contributor and former senior counselor to President Trump.
05:11I mean, can you, like, top that?
05:13No, the world is her focus group.
05:18At least he's gotten through to some folks.
05:21Look, I feel 10 years after President Trump exploded onto the political scene and changed politics in America forever, Charlie, that they only got Obama.
05:32And if you look at Obama's coalition in 2012, it became Trump country 2024.
05:3842% swing among young blacks.
05:4042% swing among black men overall.
05:43From Obama 2012 to Trump 2024.
05:4635% non-white working households.
05:51And the list goes on and on.
05:52So, just a year ago, President Obama stood at podiums like that and pointed his finger and said to young black men in a state like Pennsylvania, in Wisconsin, he said, he scolded them, shamed them, silenced them, do this for me.
06:06I need you to vote to do this for me.
06:08And they turned around and voted for President Trump in record numbers, as did young people overall, Hispanics and union households and Catholics and Jewish voters at higher levels than they had in the past.
06:17Because the Obama magic now runs through race-baiting, a lot of hateful language.
06:24He's standing next to two women, Abigail Spanberger and Mikey Sherrill, who look like they just got off the Mayflower, accusing everybody of being racist.
06:33I mean, here's a guy who literally said yesterday, my home state in New Jersey, heartbreakingly, hey, not that long ago, people who look like me would be considered property.
06:41The man is a two-term president of the United States, close to being a billionaire, and I don't understand the accent at all.
06:46Is that the accent now in market?
06:48Yeah, he likes to change all of his accent.
06:50Because I don't understand it.
06:50But he makes everything about him.
06:52Right.
06:52Look, I want to ask you about the DEI thing.
06:55One year after Trump's re-election, they've learned nothing.
06:57They've learned nothing.
06:58And DEI was a big reason Trump won.
07:00So I thought it was really interesting when Obama was talking right there, he was talking about how Republicans blamed DEI for everything.
07:08Well, no, actually what happened was that Democrats said that DEI was the answer to everything.
07:15So, of course, Republicans wound up sort of picking it apart.
07:19And it wasn't just DEI.
07:20It was BLM, CRT, ESG.
07:23Exactly.
07:23I'll throw AOC in there since we're doing all the acronyms that don't work anymore.
07:27And President Trump just wants to replace all of that with good old-fashioned USA.
07:31And he wants us to be a meritocracy.
07:34And that's what Jack Cittarelli and probably even Cuomo and Sliwa and certainly Winsome Earl Sears are running on a meritocracy.
07:42You know, Charlie, there's one thing to have to want diversity, to want equity.
07:47But President Trump got elected, and these guys and gals are running on fairness, fairness over wokeness and unfairness.
07:54People are saying it's not fair to have plumbers and pipefitters pay for student loans or doctors and lawyers.
07:57It's not fair for millions and millions of people to come here illegally and then get cash and cell phones and digital benefit cards and clothing with tags on it and free hotel rooms in New York City.
08:06People are saying it's not fair to keep these kids trapped in schools.
08:10So all the reasons that President Trump won a year ago are on the ballot again.
08:14And it's the same old tired, I'd say even worse, more socialist policies on the ballot for the other side.
08:19Kellyanne Conway, we always appreciate your insights.
08:23Thank you, Charlie.
08:24So we're less than 24 hours away from polls closing in Virginia.
08:28And right at this moment, President Trump is holding a tele-rally for the Republican ticket.
08:33That includes my next guest, Lieutenant Governor Winston Earl Sears, Virginia gubernatorial candidate.
08:40Lieutenant Governor, as always, it's so great to see you.
08:43I have to say I was rather shocked when I looked up on Saturday and saw former President Obama campaigning in Jay Jones' hometown with Jay Jones on the stage before him
09:00and then lecturing the rest of us about needing to bring civility back to politics.
09:09Yeah.
09:10I mean, it's the hypocrisy, isn't it?
09:13First of all, as you all know, Jay Jones is the one who advocated two bullets to the head of his Republican opponent,
09:21as well as the killing of his Republican opponents, two children, and then said that the children and the wife, by the way, were breeding little fascists.
09:32And this is the president.
09:34But remember, Obama was supposed to be the president of hope and change.
09:38Whatever happened to all that?
09:39Where is the hope, Mr. President?
09:42Where is the change, President Obama?
09:43Of course, we know it's all hypocrisy.
09:46And then, of course, last year this time, he told everybody to vote for the black woman.
09:52Well, Charlie, here I am.
09:54Here I am.
09:55And now he's singing a different tune.
09:58Hypocrisy all the way.
09:59But the Virginia voters are seeing through that because we are for common sense.
10:03And my opponent, Abigail Spanberger, is for nonsense.
10:06You know, you raise a really important point.
10:09And I and I really honestly do not understand it because we did go through years of lectures about how important it was to vote for Barack Obama to be this historic first black candidate.
10:22And then afterwards, we were told that this was the greatest thing and it was going to solve all these problems.
10:27Of course, it didn't.
10:28And in fact, over, you know, polls show that over the eight years of his presidency, race relations actually deteriorated badly in this country.
10:36And then for him to have an opportunity to help out the first black female governor, by the way, of a state that elected the first black governor in the United States.
10:51Explain to me where what what are we missing?
10:55How does I can't square this?
10:58Yeah, yeah, you can't square it because it doesn't make any sense.
11:02I told you these people are for nonsense.
11:04If I have to tell you that water is wet, then what are we talking about?
11:09We don't even have a means to come to some agreement.
11:13The Democrats, as far as I see, they continue to fight the civil war.
11:17Everything is racism.
11:18Everything is color.
11:20Everything is is this issue.
11:22Well, here I am, an immigrant to this wonderful country, and I am dispelling all of those narratives that know there are opportunities in America if you avail yourself of them, because I'm the one whose father came to America with only one dollar and 75 cents.
11:39At the height of the civil rights movement, he still chose to come to America because he said this is where the jobs and the opportunities were.
11:48And little did my father know that when he brought me as a six year old girl from Jamaica, that one day I would be returning to New York as the nominee for governor of the great Commonwealth of Virginia.
12:01And by the way, I am also lieutenant governor of the former capital of the Confederate states.
12:08Don't tell me that America hasn't changed.
12:11Don't tell me that our children cannot succeed.
12:14Don't tell me that we cannot find ways to get along and live together.
12:18But again, these Democrats, they keep picking the scab of history, picking the scab of the past for their own benefit.
12:26Well, it sure makes you stop and think maybe they don't really believe in all the things that they claim they believe in.
12:30And lieutenant governor, thank you so much for joining us and good luck to you tomorrow.
12:34Go vote. Go vote. Go vote.
12:36That's right. It's the only poll that matters is the one tomorrow.
12:40Yes.
12:40OK, here with me now is Doug Schoen, Democrat strategist and pollster and Tom Bevin, real clear executive editor.
12:48Great to have both of you here. Thank you so much.
12:51So let me start with you, Doug.
12:52You know, it's I think it's important to remember that we've talked a lot about these races.
12:58But at the end of the day, New Jersey and Virginia are both blue states.
13:04And this is the year after a Republican took control of the White House.
13:08All of the wins should be at Democrats backs in these two races.
13:13Yet we're talking about we're talking about single digits separating a number of these races.
13:20Charlie, in Virginia, you also have a Republican governor who is not especially popular now in Glenn Youngkin, who's leaving office.
13:29But that being said, despite Spanberger's single digit lead, the candidate for lieutenant governor and the candidate for attorney general on the Democratic side are both in dead heats or behind the Republicans.
13:45In New Jersey, which, again, is a plus 12, 15 Democratic state, the polls are basically a dead heat.
13:53And there's a lot of sense that Republicans in New Jersey, Trump and Citarelli four years before, have under polled their actual vote total.
14:03So I give Citarelli at least a 50 50 chance.
14:06Right.
14:06This is not a great time for a Democratic alliance.
14:10Right.
14:10That's for sure.
14:11So, Tom, obviously, the last several years, you and I have watched as Democrats bring out Barack Obama as their big closer.
14:20But it's kind of interesting because I don't know that his track record as a closer.
14:25I don't think a major league baseball team would keep him as their closer if that if that team that, you know, that not yet.
14:33Yeah, exactly.
14:34Had the record that Obama has.
14:36No, and this is one of the great myths about Obama.
14:42You know, when he when he was elected in 2008, he came in with 57 senators, plus two Democrats, plus two independents, a 257 seat majority in the House of Representatives, governors, Democrats had a majority of governorships, a majority of state legislatures.
14:56When he left office in 2016, after the 2016 election, Democrats were had lost 11 Senate seats.
15:03They were at 197 seat minority in the House.
15:06They only had 19 governorships.
15:08So Barack Obama was very good at getting himself elected and reelected.
15:12But in terms of his ability to elect other Democrats, I mean, just look back to 2010, he campaigned furiously and did the same shtick about, you know, driving the car, putting it in D, all of that stuff all over the country.
15:24And Democrats lost nine Senate seats and 64 House seats.
15:27So he doesn't have a record of being able to move the needle.
15:30Right. You know, Doug, talking about Jack Cittarelli, and I think we have this clip and I just would love to play it for you of a surprise visit from his son on the campaign trail.
15:47Watch this real quick. Oh, I think that we're going to set that up in a minute.
15:51But it is amazing to me how much Democrats have sort of lost the script and you have Republicans who are able to they're not only talking about the issues that people care about more than anything else,
16:05but you actually have these genuine moments in campaigns now that give I think we have the clip now.
16:11Watch your biggest supporter that serves this country just came over overnight to serve you.
16:19Jake, your father.
16:20It's so real. Yeah. The Republican Party is making inroads with working class voters.
16:41Many of the people in that site were probably Democrats at one time.
16:46But what Trump has done, what Republicans like Cittarelli has done, and it's my party, they've cut into what used to be our base.
16:54And the real issue also tomorrow is how do Hispanics, who also have strong family values in New Jersey, do they continue to show the same trend that Trump showed in 2024?
17:06So, you know, Tom, it's kind of fascinating.
17:08We've all watched politics for a long time, and it's a fun sport to watch.
17:13But you have the situation in New York City right now where you actually have the president of the United States, who's a Republican, endorsing the Democrat in the campaign.
17:22And then you have former President Barack Obama, who's a Democrat, refusing to endorse the Democrat nominee in the race.
17:29Does it get any wilder than this?
17:34No, no. And politics obviously makes strange bedfellows from time to time, and this is certainly an example.
17:40But that just shows you.
17:41We talked about, you know, the Democrats and what they might have learned from 2024, what they're going to use in 2026.
17:46And here they have Mamdani, who is clearly leading the party leftward.
17:52There's no question about that.
17:53I think, you know, I think he's going to win tomorrow.
17:56I think it's pretty clear, although there are some polls that may show some signs that there's some closing momentum on Cuomo's side.
18:01But if he does win, I think one of the byproducts of this is you might have a Republican governor in the state of New York in 2026 in Elise Stefanik,
18:07because Kathy Hochul, she has endorsed him, and she's going to own him when he wins.
18:12And every Republican running anywhere in the country, especially in the state of New York, is going to be running against that guy.
18:17Doug and Tom, thank you so much.
18:18Thank you so much.
18:19Okay, coming up, did Gavin Newsom just admit his party left?
18:24Schumer is a basket case, and he has nothing to lose.
18:28He's become, I just left Japan, he's become a kamikaze pilot.
18:32It's day 34 of the Schumer shutdown, and Democrats are doing everything they can to prolong the suffering of the American people.
18:39They don't care if people aren't getting paid or aren't getting food stamps.
18:43You're just leveraged to them.
18:46This is day 34 of the Trump Republican shutdown.
18:50And our position as Democrats remain the same.
18:53Democrats are in this fight.
18:55It is Democrats who care, and it's Americans who care.
18:59Democrats have been very clear from the start.
19:01We need to lower people's health care costs.
19:04We need to extend the ACA premium credits.
19:07That is what a majority of Americans want.
19:10So, how's that going for you?
19:13They're willing to gamble with the lives of every American just to get their way, as Republicans vote over and over and over again to end the shutdown.
19:21All they have to do is open up the country.
19:24You know, we voted 14 times to open the country.
19:28We have voted 14 times to open the country, and they vote to keep it close.
19:33All they have to do is vote to open the country, and we only need five Democrats.
19:38They have a lot of Democrats.
19:40We only need five.
19:41But the Republicans have voted 14 times to open the country.
19:45Here to discuss, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson.
19:50Thanks so much for joining us this evening, Senator.
19:52So, I do think this is a really, really important point to drive home every chance we get.
19:58Bipartisan majorities in both chambers of Congress have voted more than a dozen times to continue spending at the level of Joe Biden, the Democrat,
20:10and a minority, a partisan minority of Democrats in the Senate have refused to let this get through.
20:21They are filibustering, keeping the federal government open.
20:25Are you getting your message out?
20:29Well, Charlie, what's even more absurd is Democrats under the Biden administration voted 13 times for a clean, continuing resolution at President Biden's spending levels.
20:38They voted for these spending levels.
20:41Personally, I don't like the CR.
20:42I don't like the fact that it ends right before Thanksgiving.
20:45It spends too much.
20:46But I hate shutdowns even more.
20:48So, I've continued to support this CR voting 13 times in the United States Senate for it.
20:53So, this is definitely the Schumer shutdown.
20:55The easy way to end this is just to vote for that continuing resolution.
20:59And then, if they do that, I am more than happy to sit down with Democrats and figure out how to repair the damage done by Obamacare
21:06and transition to a system that actually works.
21:09Because what they're fighting for are these subsidies that just mask what a miserable failure Obamacare is.
21:15The reason premiums have skyrocketed is because of the faulty design of Obamacare.
21:19So, food stamps have run out.
21:22Do you get a sense from your Democrat colleagues that maybe they're starting to get a little bit worried
21:28that this failure on their part to keep the government open is actually hurting their constituents?
21:36Yeah, I think they're brazen about it.
21:38Again, they're so used to having the mainstream media carry their water for them and amplify their message.
21:45I think it's probably shocking them that more Americans are starting to blame them for the Schumer shutdown.
21:49So, no, again, they are more than willing to play hostage with federal workers,
21:54people that keep our skies safe, our nation safe, our streets safe, not getting paid.
22:00I propose the shutdown fairness act.
22:02We could have passed that if we would have got Democrats to support that.
22:05We would have been at least paying the people we're forcing to work to keep this nation safe.
22:09But Democrats voted no, just like they voted no to reopen the government.
22:13Real quick, we've got to go.
22:14But do you have any prediction about when you think that this shutdown might end?
22:20Well, people are saying after tomorrow's election, maybe they've blown off enough steam and they might do it then.
22:25But, again, they've been pretty irrational now and they back themselves in the corner.
22:29So I hope they do.
22:30But I can't make a prediction.
22:32Indeed.
22:32Senator, thank you so much for joining us.
22:35Have a great night.
22:36When I, nothing I dislike more than the politician that sits there and lies to you.
22:46And we all just sit there rolling our eyes going, give me a break.
22:48The best.
22:50Funny, that's how we all react when we hear Gavin Newsom speak.
22:55Democrats act like they're putting you first, like they're the party of the little people.
23:00But really, they're just a little party of liars.
23:03They would do anything if it meant beating up on Trump, including propping up a guy who couldn't find his way off the stage.
23:10The angle has been saying this for years.
23:13But now, not having Gavin is finally letting the truth slip out.
23:18Did you legitimately believe that he was capable of serving as president until January of 2029?
23:24Yeah, I think my focus was, frankly, situational.
23:27It was making sure Donald Trump didn't get back into office to experience everything that we're experiencing today.
23:33And there was no interaction I had that suggested otherwise.
23:37What do you say to Americans who feel misled by you and other top Democrats?
23:43What misled in what respect he decided to step down?
23:45The mental acuity of President Biden, that they wish you'd sounded the alarm sooner to give way for an open convention?
23:53I'm not going to substitute myself for someone else or for popular opinion.
23:59I'm going to express my relationship to my truth with the former president of the United States.
24:05Here with us now is Clay Travis, OutKick founder, Fox News contributor, and the author of the brand new book, Balls, How Trump Young Men and Sports Saved America.
24:19That is quite a title.
24:21That is quite a title.
24:22You were telling me that your mom hears the cover, by the way.
24:25Please go buy it if you believe in sports insanity.
24:28I want to apologize to your mom for you saying that.
24:31Anybody who says my truth, you should immediately ignore it.
24:34Because there is not my truth and your truth.
24:37There's just the truth.
24:39And the truth is Gavin Newsom is a moron.
24:43I feel confident about that.
24:45But what they're really trying to do when they say my truth, Charlie, is they're trying to redefine truth itself.
24:52And a big part of this book is when they say men who identify as women are actually women, people can say, well, why should I care?
25:01I think the answer is as soon as they can get you to lie, as soon as they can make you complicit in the lie, then they have you.
25:10They can convince you of anything.
25:11So biology is real.
25:13Men are bigger, stronger, faster than women.
25:15I think it's a big reason why Donald Trump won, because it cuts through all the noise.
25:20So when they tell a lie that seems obscure, it's not really some obscure little lie.
25:27It's all part of a much bigger strategy.
25:29Yeah, I think so.
25:30Because, look, biology is real, right?
25:34It's called science for a reason.
25:36They are saying now that doctors sometimes get the sex of a baby wrong.
25:42Charlie, you're a parent.
25:43I feel fortunate to have been in the delivery room.
25:46My wife did an amazing job for three different boys being born.
25:50Guess what?
25:51Doctor holds up the baby.
25:52You got a pretty good sense of what the gender is.
25:56They are saying that that's not true.
25:58Even the National Women's Soccer League, do you see this craziness?
26:01They had a press conference in L.A. where the women called out one of their teammates
26:08who said, hey, the National Women's Soccer League should only be made up of women.
26:14They had a press conference.
26:15Let me just pass this out there.
26:17NWSL, I will buy a franchise.
26:20I will relocate it in Nashville.
26:23We will be called the Nashville Chameleons.
26:25It will be all men who identify as women.
26:29And Charlie, we're going to be the greatest sports dynasty of all time.
26:33I'll pull out my checkbook right now, National Women's Soccer League.
26:36I am going to get this done.
26:38I think I would have to get into sports betting.
26:40I don't do that now.
26:41But if you did that, I would get into sports betting.
26:43We would never lose.
26:44We would never lose.
26:45I want the franchise.
26:47I want to be the greatest team sports owner of all time.
26:49My pocketbook is ready for you.
26:51And then I'll have so much money at the end of that, I'll be able to bankroll the next one.
26:54Clay Travis, always a pleasure to see you.
26:56Please go read the book.
26:57It's fine.
26:57I can't wait.
26:58Yeah.
26:58All right, coming up.
26:59Trump delivers a clear message to our enemies.
27:03World leaders aren't used to dealing with a U.S. president who doesn't screw around.
27:08President Trump's already put Xi on notice.
27:12Would you order U.S. forces to defend Taiwan?
27:15You'll find out if it happens.
27:17And he understands the answer to that.
27:19Why not say it?
27:20This never even came up yesterday as a subject.
27:22He never brought it up.
27:23People were a little surprised that he never brought it up because he understands it.
27:28And he understands it very well.
27:30Why not communicate that publicly to the rest of us?
27:33What does he understand?
27:33Because I don't want to give away.
27:34I can't give away my secrets.
27:36I don't want to be one of these guys that tells you exactly what's going to happen.
27:39If they understand what's going to happen.
27:41And he has openly said, and his people have openly said at meetings, we would never do anything
27:46while President Trump is president because they know the consequences.
27:52And the Venezuelan drug cartels, they're running scared.
27:55The U.S. has launched at least 15 strikes against narco-terrorists, and there could be more.
28:00Are we going to war against Venezuela?
28:04I doubt it.
28:04I don't think so.
28:05But they've been treating us very badly, not only on drugs.
28:08This is a country that allowed their prisons to be emptied into our country.
28:12On Venezuela in particular, are Maduro's days as president numbered?
28:17I would say yeah.
28:18I think so, yeah.
28:19And this issue of potential land strikes in Venezuela, is that true?
28:22I don't tell you that.
28:23I mean, I'm not saying it's true or untrue, but I, you know, I wouldn't be inclined to
28:28say that I would do that.
28:30But, because I don't talk to a reporter about whether or not I'm going to strike.
28:34And to the monsters in Nigeria killing Christians because of their faith, Trump's got his eyes
28:39on you too.
28:41Nigeria, I just wanted to ask you, do you envisage U.S. boots on the ground?
28:46Could be.
28:47I mean, a lot of things I envisage.
28:49A lot of things.
28:50They're killing record numbers of Christians.
28:53They're killing the Christians and killing them in very large numbers.
29:04We're not going to allow that to happen.
29:07Here with me now is KT McFarland, former Deputy National Security Advisor under President
29:11Trump.
29:12So great to see you, KT.
29:13Thanks for coming on.
29:14You know, it's really amazing how America First Clarity reorganizes the entire world.
29:23You know, and this is the whole point, and you're right to bring it up, but not just
29:29by region, by region, by region.
29:31He is out to reorder the globe.
29:34And he's doing it because he's got a few allies in each of the major regions.
29:37He's got Maloney in Italy.
29:40He's got the Saudis in the Middle East.
29:43He's got in Europe.
29:46He's got his allies in Europe.
29:48Maloney, as I said.
29:49And then in Japan, he's got the new prime minister of Japan.
29:53And so what he's doing is he's finding Trump-like people who believe in free markets, who believe
29:58in really their country's interests first.
30:01But he's using them as strong allies in the region, and he's trying to reorder the globe.
30:06I mean, for example, South and Latin America, everybody's ignoring them for decades.
30:10And what's President Trump doing?
30:12He's laser-focused on getting that part of the world back under the real auspices of the
30:18United States, the country of Argentina.
30:20Right.
30:20They have their President Malai.
30:22He's been great with him.
30:23And as a result of all these things, President Trump has created leverage where he didn't have
30:28any leverage before.
30:29And he's got everybody in the world thinking he's the single most important person in the
30:33world.
30:34It really is remarkable when you look back over the past several decades where, you know,
30:37our foreign policy has been so focused on the foreign, in the Middle East, in Europe,
30:41all around the world.
30:42But we've completely ignored Central and South America.
30:47Why, what do you think the motivation has been for prior administrations to ignore our
30:55neighbors?
30:55I guess part of it, I think, is just snobbery.
31:01You know, these are not important countries to a lot of our previous leaders.
31:04They weren't manufacturing powerhouses.
31:06But they're resource powerhouses.
31:08And they're also potentially in a great North and South American alliance.
31:12I think President Trump is looking way ahead.
31:15And he looks at a country like Venezuela.
31:17If there's a new leader of Venezuela, a friendly American leader, you could see an American,
31:22Venezuelan, maybe even Canadian and Mexican energy cartel, an energy unit that would provide
31:29all the energy for the world.
31:31It would completely supersede Iran, the Middle East, Russia.
31:34So, again, I think he sees so many steps ahead, he's clean enough.
31:39And, of course, by neglecting that part of the world, China recognizes it and steps in and fills the void all over South America.
31:48And what Trump is doing now, like you say, looking way, way down the field, is trying to retake control of that area.
31:56You know, what happened during the Obama presidency was Secretary of State John Kerry made a speech.
32:03And he said, we don't believe in the Monroe Doctrine anymore.
32:05The Monroe Doctrine has been around since our founding fathers put it there,
32:09which says no foreign power is going to have a foothold in the Americas.
32:13John Kerry, they just threw that away.
32:15President Trump is reestablishing that.
32:17Because, as you point out, with the vacuum of the United States having left the region,
32:21who's come in?
32:22Communists, cartels, and China.
32:24And that's got to be reversed.
32:25Or all of a sudden, we're going to have a threat on our southern border,
32:29and we will have a threat in our own hemisphere.
32:31We've never had that before.
32:32And it is interesting that, of course, the first step he took to reclaim authority south of us was to seal the border.
32:42K.P. McFarlane, always a pleasure to have you.
32:46Coming up, two A-list stars have different takes on the political moment.
32:52And what former first lady is now a fashion icon?
32:57Seen and Unseen with Raymond Arroyo is next.
33:01So it's time now for Seen and Unseen, where we reveal the stories behind the headlines.
33:07And for that, we turn to Fox News contributor, Raymond Arroyo.
33:11So, Raymond, so Michelle Obama returned to the spotlight last night.
33:16Charlie, the former first lady was treated to an ABC primetime special to promote not her public policy or anti-obesity crusade,
33:26but to discuss herself as a fashion icon.
33:30This looks like a joke.
33:32I mean, it looks like something we created.
33:34That is actually the open of the special.
33:36Now, who made Michelle Obama Heidi Klum or Bella Hadid?
33:40I mean, what happened here?
33:41Now she's a fashionista and a trendsetter.
33:44Don't believe me?
33:45She'll tell you herself.
33:47Let's do a fit check right now.
33:49Okay.
33:49I'm thinking we're at Miramont.
33:51We're with students.
33:53So I wanted to be a little relatable, a little cool, but, you know, throwback with the brooches,
34:01because that's kind of a reminder that I did a lot of brooches.
34:05The most important thing is that it's cute.
34:10In between talk of her glitter boots, Charlie, and her hairstyles,
34:14she did manage to take a shot at the voters who made her first lady.
34:19Watch.
34:19You said we were all too aware that as a first black couple, we couldn't afford any missteps.
34:26Yeah.
34:26And you also say as a black woman, I was under a particularly white, hot glare.
34:33Did you feel that?
34:34For sure.
34:35You can't afford to get anything wrong because you didn't get the, at least until the country
34:40came to know us, we didn't get the grace that I think some other families have gotten.
34:46Good Lord, Charlie.
34:50I mean, the Obamas are a great American success story.
34:54Look at all that they have to be thankful for.
34:56I mean, this is a woman who came into the White House.
34:58She had a stack of student loans.
35:00Now she does one speech and she gets paid more than all those student loans put together.
35:05This is a cause for celebration.
35:07Show some grace to the American people who made that possible, but stop trying to pass
35:13yourself off as Donatella Versace.
35:17I don't think anyone is buying it.
35:18Absolutely.
35:19I mean, where's the gratitude?
35:21I mean, you look at something like this and it's so breezy and light and gauzy and it looks
35:27like, I mean, how do you make an interview like that turn so sour and kind of depressing?
35:35But, but like every time I hear a talk, I get sour and depressing.
35:41Yeah.
35:41It's, it, it's, it's part of a trend and I don't know quite why when so much is, so many
35:48blessings have befallen this family.
35:50And, uh, it's a, as I said earlier, it's a great American success story.
35:54You don't have to be a fashion designer to make it complete.
35:58I, and by the way, I don't think she has a political future.
36:00I think that, that, you know, there was a time there where people were afraid of her,
36:04but I don't think she does.
36:06Yeah.
36:07No, I don't think so either, but maybe that brooch does.
36:09We'll see.
36:10Okay.
36:11So next up, I want to ask you about this.
36:13Remember when actor George Clooney wrote an op-ed calling for Joe Biden to bow
36:18out of the presidential election?
36:19Well, apparently he now has a few regrets.
36:22I wanted there to be, as I wrote in the op-ed, a primary.
36:27Let's battle test this quickly and get it up and going.
36:30I think the mistake with it being Kamala is that she had to run against her own record
36:35and, you know, it's hard to do.
36:36And so she was given a very tough task.
36:39I think it was a mistake, quite honestly.
36:41I mean, here's your political expert.
36:44So it's time now for Seen and Unseen, where we reveal the stories behind the headlines.
36:51And for that, we turn to Fox News contributor, Raymond Arroyo.
36:56So, Raymond, so Michelle Obama returned to the spotlight last night.
37:00Charlie, the former first lady was treated to an ABC primetime special to promote not her
37:08public policy or anti-obesity crusade, but to discuss herself as a fashion icon.

37:30She'll tell you herself.
37:31Let's do a fit check right now.
37:33Okay.
37:33I'm thinking we're at Marymount.
37:36We're with students.
37:38So I wanted to be a little relatable, a little cool.
37:42But, you know, throwback with the brooches, because that was, that's kind of a reminder
37:48that I did a lot of brooches.
37:49The most important thing is that it's cute.
37:51In between talk of her glitter boots, Charlie, and her hairstyles, she did manage to take
38:00a shot at the voters who made her first lady.
38:03Watch.
38:04You said we were all too aware that as a first black couple, we couldn't afford any missteps.
38:10Yeah.
38:11And you also say as a black woman, I was under a particularly white, hot glare.
