"the ingraham angle" starts now. ♪ >> laura: good evening, everyone. i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight a big fox news alert. secretary of state marco rubio just announced moments ago that america will start revoking the visas of chinese students including those with connections to the communist party there or those studying in critical fields there are hundreds of thousands of chinese students in

the united states. we're going to have more on that breaking news in moments. first, the hate they live. that's the focus of tonight's angle. ♪ >> laura: now, what happens when you are a christian espousing traditional christian views on human sexuality and you hold a reality in seattle? >> in d into chaos. >> go glom far left activists and antifa militants tried to disrupt the concert. throw water balloons at the crowd. menacing aattendees and some achactivists tried rushing the stage. >> there was more chaos yesterday when a christian group held a peaceful rally under the hashtag don't mess with our kids and they were attacked by violent antifa radicals move

back! move back! >> laura: police moved in but thugs wearing masks felt entitled harass the families trying to get into the event. [shouting] [bleep] [shouting] [bleep] you pig. >> just a few days earlier mayor bruce herrell's office in seattle defended the free speech rights of that group no not of the christian. he referred to the gathering of christians as a far right rally and a right wing national effort designed to provoke a reaction inherently opposed to his city's values which, of course, are

very lgbtq+ friendly. he claimed he was committed to justice and to fairness. but, instead of instilling calm, this guy's words tacitly green lit the violence that would end up occurring. as i said over the weekend, the pastor who spoke at the first rally, well, he had demanded an apology. >> bruce herrell, the mayor of seattle owes christians in washington state an apology vicious remarks after holding event were assaulted. police officers were hospitalized. church people were assaulted. and the mayor of seattle has the audacity to blame christians for the violence. nothing could be more demonic and untrue. >> laura: well, the fbi has announced that it's doing an investigation, thank goodness, go dan bongino. now, it's about time, isn't it, that these violent thugs feel

the consequences of their actions. their potential civil rights violations here, 18 usc section 241. and these types of threats, intimidation, acts of physical violence, if they are allowed to continue without severe punishment, well, what can we expect? we can expect that things are going to get worse. not get better. now, for years, the left beat the drum that trump was a threat to democracy. we still hear that they call him a dictator. sometimes they even called him hitler. and we had two assassination attempts in the span of a few months. the groundwork laid for all this violence though, it was years in the making, and all by democrats. >> you get out and you create a crowd and you on them and you tell them they're not welcome! >> go to the hill today get up and, please, get up in the face of some congress people. >> there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is unrest in our lives.

>> laura: senators threatened supreme court justices. >> i want to tell you, gorsuch, i want to tell you, kavanaugh, you have released the whirl wind and you will pay the price. [cheers] you won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions. >> laura: and their new stars are openly call warfare. >> god damn it, shut down the city. we are at war! >> laura: no wonder the far left feels like it can get away with targeting jews on campus or christians in a public park because, for them, committing acts of violence or intimidation or harassment it's become a civic duty they are carrying out marching orders. reel on about charlottesville

and claim january 6th disqualified trump from offers? flies try. the voters saw right through that they see what you are doing and rejecting it. because we have a corn substitution because trump is in office. coordinated campaigns of violence and intimidation. they are not going to be subsequent under the rug. in our countries, unfortunately, it's easy to do this. remember what we have seen in places like china. where churches have been demolished. worshipers harassed and even jailed the sufing of syrian christians post assad well documented. in iraq, according to our own state department, the number of christians has gone from 1.1 million in 2011 to only about 120,000 as of last year. they have been slaughtered or driven out by islamic militants. in the middle east, the cradle christianity the faithful are asking whether it's the end of the line for them but most western elites blissfully

unconcerned by. this the truth is most liberals like the seems mayor view traditional christianity as oppressive and extremist. because, if you have a biblical world view of gender and sexuality, odds are that you are going to be labeled as haters and anti-lgbtq+ fanatics and we have seen christians are routinely derided by well-known television personalities. >> one thing to talk to jesus. it's another thing when jesus talks to you. >> exactly. [laughter] [applause] that's different. that's different. that's what mental illness, if i'm not correct. >> christianity has long been used to justify the oppression of others. it was used to justify slavery. was use to the justify jim crow. >> radically democratic ideology. >> laura: these people loathe middle america and loathe middle america's faith. >> why are white rural voters threat to democracy. >> they are the most racist,

xenophobic, and gay geographic group in the country. >> also the most strongly white nationalists and white christian nationalists. now, who doubts that if they thought they could deny christians a platform to speak, that they would? or if they could ban traditional churches, certain churches and certain church teachings? who doubts that they would? they are extremist groups. they want attention according to mayor herrell spokesperson craig head and further publishing their event would further assist their goal. she said heft and supporters see you as the enemy. they are going to do everything possible, if they can, to wreck your career, hinder your ability to speak. brainwash your kids, and even get in your face and assault you. with there own incendiary rhetoric, democrats are fueled

the intimidation campaign. don't they see how desperate and weak this makes them look? and this is why so many christians support donald trump they simple m.r.i. do not trust democrats to protect their religious liberty and who can blame them? johnson the lead pastor of the pursuit church. helped organ both events in seattle. he joins us now. pastor, it's good to see you tonight. >> thanks. >> tell us what you saw and heard when things began to develop into chaos and unrest. >> yeah, you know, it was crazy it. started on saturday with the worship event in call anderson park. lgbtq type rally and it wasn't that event offered free haircuts

for kids, bikes. free prayer for people who needed it and also incorporated worship empty end of that outreach that's when we were swarmed by hundreds of antifa militants. i will only correct one thing in the reporting of your story. they weren't throwing water balloons. they were throwing water balloons filled with urine at christians who stood in the park who stood in the park and assaulted for the high crime of worshiping jesus in a public space. so that happened on saturday then the mayor followed it up an hour after that event ended. police officers were hospitalized good church people were injured. he followed that up with a press statement blaming the church for the violence saying we are advocating values that are anti-threatt call to seattle's values at that moment i decided.

>> laura: sorry to interrupt you. one of the fox reporters spoke to where they are coming from what exactly they took issue with. check it out. >> today was a very good example of. [sigh] two sides of people trying to be heard. on one side i saw a lot of hatred. these people that. [clearing throat] tell us they love us, are showing us the opposite. >> laura: she is dressed like a rabbit with a slit eye thing i don't really get that you heard her point that you guys hate them. they feel put upon. and they were just expressing themselves. >> yeah. you know, antifa is made up of petulant children who are grievance mongers who decide to perpetuate violence on people they disagree with. of course in a place like seattle, they are coddled and

supported by people like mayor bruce harrell, their voices are amplified by liberal news outlets like the seattle times and, in doing so, it creates a perfect storm that results in violence against people of faith, police officers, and others. and so, after the mayor put out a statement and blamed us for the violence, i said we are taking the rally to the front steps of city hall. that's exactly what we did on tuesday. and similar things happened. antifa was out in force. they bloodied and beat up good church people who stood in line to try get into a rally to sing hymns and worship songs and pray for the direction of the city. and the mayor put out a second statement, even worse than the first. and he said well, the only reason you are rallying at city hall is because you are opposed to the idea that i am biracial. i mean it's a clown show with these leftist agitator

supporting politicians who are so out of touch with, i think, a wide swath of their constituents. and i think mayor bruce harrell terminated his political career by releasing those statements. there was a show of force. thousands came out to city hall. >> laura: i scanned the crowds in the video that's got access to. it was a very diverse crowd. i don't understand the biracial comment at all because they seemed to be a lot of hispanic folks there. mr. there were african-american folks. white people, young and old. a lot of families. part of what the rally was about, i thought, was the concern about the transgender rising our youth, correct? wasn't that part of it? will included testimonies from people who have de-transitioned after succumbing to trans ideology. it was shared in the context of uplifting, hopeful, god can

change anything. jesus has the power to transform your life it wasn't this hateful rhetoric. it was people sharing hopeful optimistic outlook on what it looks like when god begins a work in your life. >> laura: are christians welcome in seattle in your view to publicly express their views the mayor put that in his statement. in the future is he going to deny religious groups the ability to pauper mitts to hold similar worship-themed events in public places. >> laura: he said -- he says look, i'm a christian first amendment rights need to be upheld. that's why you were able go to a park. dedicated in some way to the lgbtq cause and that kind of made them upset. but you got the permit to do it where did you it and it wasn't your first choice i know too

much information for some people. is he pushing back on you. he said they get to speak. they did have two rallies and now they are whining about it, basically. >> yeah. after antifa hospitalized people. after people got hit in the face with urine-filled balloons, after antifa members performed lewd sex acts in front of children getting free haircuts. yes. after paying a massive price for the high crime of exercising our first amendment rights, yes, we were allowed to have some sort of event. and the mayor is so out of touch with the people and you are right. that rally was super diverse. here is what happened. when we announced that we were taking this to the front steps of city hall, i got inundated with emails and texts and congressmans from people who are not christian and not conservative. we are going to stand with christians at city hall because

we believe in the first amendment. >> laura: this is what seattle voted for. so, you have the demilitarized zone, the chaz, all this stuff. this is what the people of seattle voted for. it's a beautiful city. spectacular natural resources, beautiful. but, this cannot continue. pastor, thank you for sharing your story. we'll stay on this. all right, ahead, democrats are in crisis mode but mayor pete, he says he has the answer. ♪

>> laura: he is the polar opposite of bidennd president biden. president trump is visible, unafraid and dominating. politico is calling him the most accessible president ever. and today totally impromptu he spent more than 20 minutes talking about everything from harvard to tiktok to tariffs. he has done media 111 days out of the 13 will he has been in office and that includes weekends. he is the energizer president. he keeps going and going and going. meanwhile, the democrats, well, they have mayor repeat. >> democrats have created this impression, i think partly because ever the way we feel and talk about trump, have created

this impression that that translates into the way we feel and talk about people who support him. and that's the thing that i think really is a cultural struggle in our party. there is this sense of condescension. >> laura: condescension. then he gave some framing advice. >> talking about how if, you know, speaker johnson got his way, it wouldn't be possible not just for gay people to get married but for straight people to get divorced let alone like birth control or how he would want to regulate porn or whatever -- most people would have a problem with. >> laura: okay. now, what is amazing is that he actually thinks he has a shot at being president. here to discuss ari fleischer, fox news contributor, former white house press secretary. ari, now democrats have a net favorability rating of negative 21 percent. so does any of this resonate, what you just heard? >> i think everything that you said, laura, is true.

but going into the midterm elections of 2026, the democrats can still win it because rejection it s. more powerful than popularity. and president trump's popularity is decent right now. he has got a 48 job approval. a 50 disapproval. i want to point out 10 points higher than it was going into the midterm elections when he was first elected in 2018. so that's significant. but, i think that democrats' hatred for trump is stronger than republicans love for republicans. and midterm elections, especially without trump on the ballot are very to the party that power. the republican party. yeah, democrats are in the wilderness, they are unpopular. they are too liberal. that doesn't mean they can't win. >> laura: this is where in states like virginia and ohio. they are finding candidates who like on the surface might appear to be moderate with you when push comes to shove they are always going to vote with the radicals.

you think about elizabeth spanberger jon tester in montana always voted with the liberals. rarely did he ever oppose them. that's always the trappings of being a moderate. maybe you have a military background in some way like mayor pete did. but they are just a tried and true liberal. but that has worked for them in the past. but it doesn't solve their problem with male voters, ari, which they keep stumbling over. >> let me go to the biggest factors going to drive the politics of the future. one, what is the economy like in 2026. what republicans need is for the tariff wars to be over. for trump to win the tariff wars. to pass the tax cut to unify house senate. pass the tax cut and hope that does indeed lead to a booming economy. if the economy is weak or if they don't get it passed they are dead ducks, republicans in the house. if that happens and the economy is strong, then here's the other kicker, 115 million people voted in the 2022 midterm.

155 million voted in the 2024 presidential. trump voters don't show up in the midterms. the democrats who hate trump do show up. and that's the big problem republicans have. they are going to have to work on the turn out machine. excite people, and can they do it without donald trump on the ballot? donald trump is going to have to personally work real hard to deliver a lot of these votes for republicans to get trump voters out, especially in those marginal congressional races. >> laura: if he cares about his legacy he is going to have to do that. at some point they will have to figure this out when trump is deciding he is not going to do politics at all anymore. ari, thank you so much. all right. this is big nippon steel is closing in on a deal to acquire u.s. steel. but the white house, president trump, is touting it more like a partnership. >> it will be controlled by the united states, otherwise, i wouldn't make the deal. we will see what the final is. but they are going to invest billions of dollars in steel and

it's a good company. it's an investment and it's a partial ownership but it will be controlled by the u.s.a. >> laura: so who is really the boss here big decisions. in a japanese owned company takes over a u.s. company, how does the united states or the u.s. steel have control over what goes on here? how does that make sense? >> the control structure is going to be somewhat unique. it's a national security gleement that will be signed with the u.s. government. it will be a u.s. ceo. u.s. majority board and then there will be a golden chair which will essentially require u.s. government approval of a number of the board members. >> laura: it doesn't matter where the company is headquartered if the u.s. can select board members, does it? it matters who can make the final call. here to help us understand this pennsylvania congressman dan muser. of course, this is a big issue in his district. could create thousands and thousands of jobs. he met with president trump last week about this deal. congressman, you may have seen that i'm pretty concerned about

this deal. but, if nippon is acquiring u.s. steel for $14 billion, how is this a partnership and why would they do it? >> great being with you, laura. it is an investment. let's be very clear about that. the president, frankly, would not approved it if it wasn't strictly an investment, a strategic partnership, where it's american owned, american run, and remains in america. that's actually, i have met with the folks from nippon. that's the commitment they are making and it is a binding agreement. there is not -- this isn't just a handshake my any means u.s. steel in our communities and in ration of nearly 70,000 direct and indirect jobs. it's an investment in american steel. and i will tell you what, laura, the biggest national security concern should be if this deal

didn't happen because we need the steel manufactured here in pennsylvania and in the united states. >> laura: one of the things i keep hearing, this is documented not hearing. nippon is one of the most notorious trade sheets as is japan. president trump has talked about this in the past. 12 antidumping orders against japan, including some against nippon, other companies like it. so, is this -- people can say oh, is this rewarding years of bad trade behavior in a new deal that ultimately gives a foreign country a fight hold in critical manufacturing. what does it do to the other steel companies in the united states? they are, as you can imagine, very concerned about this deal. nippon has assets existing throughout the united states. this deal with impact minnesota, arkansas, kentucky, sneangsd, it's also going to be very

positive for pennsylvania coal. but, to your question, the president will have veto power. actually the department of treasury via the president over the board oversight over the company's operation. will nippon's reputation tremendous commitments to pittsburgh r and d center being jointly done with carnegie mellon university. >> laura: congressman, i don't blame you. you are doing what you should do for your district. i don't have any doubt about that. but president trump campaigned against a deal that would end up ultimately 51% control industry

like steel in the hands of a foreign entity. we don't see the terms of the deal. i'm a lawyer so i want to see the deal. i don't know why they are hiding the terms of the deal. i haven't seen the deal. have you actually seen the terms of the deal? >> no, but i have seen where sithous is on it and how those national security concerns can be mitigate and i also know that the president has reviewed it. as has, i believe, cot bessent, howard lutnick and others. but it is still being structured; laura. >> laura: congressman, i don't mean to be -- i'm not trying to be difficult. but it is still being structured but we have heard repeatedly that this is a partnership. on the u.s. steel website it says it's a good thing basically paraphrasing that we are being acquired by nippon are you saying they are not being acquired by nippon because that's what it says on the u.s. steel website. >> i'm saying strictly

investment like the other investments that the president's economy that he is creating are being made. it will be american-owned. it will be american run. the white house has investigative and oversight authority. and that is what we have -- the deal that we have. and i will tell you this. the president was against it initially until he reviewed it, until he made it better. until he came in and made it in with no national security concerns and a great investment for pennsylvania and keeping u.s. steel, american steel being manufactured here where strategically need that to happen. there was a period of time when we were buying foreign companies and critical manufacturing but now foreign countries and companies are buying -- you know, you know what i'm saying. i see what you are saying. and we need to see the terms of the deal. we have got to roll, congressman. we have got see the terms of this deal. i respect everybody's opinion but, you know, this is what i do. i want to see the terms. all right, congressman.

>> laura: this is a fox news alert. trump is traumatic cracking down on chinese students in the united states. ruby the trump administration is going to start revoking the visas of chinese students including those with connections with the chinese communist party or studying in critical fields. here to discuss this louisiana senator john kennedy. senator kennedy, examples over the years many of them of chinese spies working within the student visa framework, the things happening and all over the country going back to, you know, early 2000s, 2 2019 just a

few months ago a report out of stanford. what is this all about tonight? >> well, i have read the reports about what marco, secretary rubio is doing. look, i can tell you how i view it. i welcome international students. i don't welcome international students who come here and barack the law. i don't welcome international students who come here and threaten our national security. the chinese communist party has a horrific record of sending students to america to do that. and we do need to be careful. it would be nice if some of our universities, like harvard, would help us screen these students rather than contribute to the problem. so i support what secretary rubio is doing. the simple fact of the matter is this has nothing to do with

diversity or inclusion. the chinese communist party will steal the hair off your head. and they hate america. they think america is decline -- is in decline. they think that all we do is sit around all day and debate whether a mother should be called a birthing person. meanwhile, they're. >> laura: senator, we got breaking news. we just got other breaking news. the big news tonight. a federal court just blocked the majority of trump's tariffs. the court of international trade saying he overstepped his authority on international emergency economic powers act. this was, i believe, the three judge panel that was a reagan appointee, a trump appointee and a biden appointee on this particular panel. this was kind of widely predicted among those who study trade closely. so those european tariffs

blocked. senator, your reaction? >> you mean a federal judge has intervened with the over two branches ability to make policy? i'm shocked. that hasn't happened since yesterday. [laughter] >> laura: five minutes ago. >> it will be appealed. i think it's pretty clear that the president has tariff authority congress gave it to him. can you debate whether that was a prudent move or not. but i think it's clear he has tariff authority. i think it will be reversed on appeal. >> laura: they goal to the supreme court, senator. it was a three judge panel two republican appointees on the court one biden appointee and focused on the use of ie statute. this is a long way out. this is going to be challenged and challenged and challenged.

>> sooner or later the supreme court is going to have to address this. those who oppose the executive branch and those who oppose the legislative branch and are seeking recourse in the courts are at some point going to dig up more snakes than they can kill. because the judges are going to -- go ahead. >> laura: all right. senator. i'm so sorry. we are up against a hard break. we appreciate you and have you on for longer next time. coming up the media trying to paint trump and musk at odds. we will tell you what is really going on behind the scenes, next. ♪

make the doge cuts permanent. the white house is expected do send a $9.4 billion package of spending cuts, called rescissions to congress next week. but that's just a drop in the budget, do too. here tamaswamy ohio gubernatorial candidate. vivek, is elon right? does the big, beautiful bill undermine what doge was all about. >> i think the doge cuts need to be made. as you pointed out, laura, that's $9 billion against the backdrop of a $36 trillion national debt on tap to become $60 trillion in 10 years with a $2 trillion deficit each year. it's like picking a barnacle off the back of a whale. we have got to deal with the actual issue at some point queer going to have to the have courage to take on independence from the federal entitlement state. that's what we actually need to be talking about. i personally believe that everything else ends up being a

distraction topic of real national debt issue. asked the question how we will start with a generation of americans who hopefully become so wealthy that they don't need the federal entitlement state that lyndon johnson created. at some point have to muster the courage to take that on. until we do that everything else is mostly a distraction. one of the things i'm looking to do in ohio set up a model for how we w wean ourself off the entitlement process. >> i'm always shocked when people are shocked that washington never wants to cut spending. i mean, have you not seen what they have done? $3.9 trillion added to the federal deficit in what some republicans hope, wishful thinking, perhaps, but maybe some of it is true, they hope there is going to be so much investment that that's going to override this concern about the deficit they are going to grow their way out of this deficit and interest rate debt bomb

problem. but to me that seems like very wishful thinking. >> financial markets certainly believe that treasury rates continue to push upwards. we are paying more on interest payments now than the entire u.s. military budget. the defense budget is smaller than the interest payments on our national debt. at the time, laura, i don't think it's too late. time to i can with a up and ask the question at some point the kid born in this country next year when we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the declaration of the independence in 2026 that, kid will grow up in the country where that debt is on their shoulders. they won't have money for social security and medicare because we will have run out for that bone by then. how do we create that generation so financially successful that they declare independence from the federal nanny state. that's the declaration of independence we really need. next year is the 250th anniversary. no better time than now to create that modern declaration of independence which is gnel

[screaming] >> laura: i love the screaming. sounds exactly what i would do. >> why are the patrons trying to capture the thing with blankets and their jackets? where are the stewards and stewardesses, couldn't they have helped? >> laura: they are getting pretzels to throw at the pigeons hoping the pigeon lands on that -- would you like pretzels?

anything flying at me, i would be the person screaming. raymond, if you ever say you've got a little spider, ice cream. reflexive,. >> that's all you need in the cabin of the plane, a bird. >> laura: all right, raymond, go check in on that capital protest and text us. that's it for us tonight. follow me on social media, thank you for watching. remember, american now and forever. jesse watters takes it from here. >> jesse: welcome to "jesse watters primetime". tonight... >> i have a lived experience that has taught me something i talk about all the time, which is my lived experience, they see what can be and they are unburdened by what has been. >> jesse: kamala goes down under. >> this is why you
