Good evening, everyone. I'm Laura Ingraham.
This is Ingraham Angle. Thank you,
as always, for joining US
tyrants in training. That's the focus of tonight's angle.
Is Donald Trump at risk of being
America's first real political prisoner,
I thought a lot about this over the weekend.
Now, with the unconscionable financial judgment in that New York
civil fraud case,
the Fonny Willis debacle in Georgia,
the efforts to knock Trump off state ballots,
and of course, let's not forget Jack Smith.
January 6th. Criminal prosecution. What else are Trump supporters supposed
to think?
Now, there are various ways that despots cling to power.
Political opposition is eliminated through censorship of opposing views,
intimidation of free thinkers through harassment,
and also show trials, of course,
And imprisonment of the opposition.
That's all part of it.
And then there's always the threats to family members
and financial ruin. Well, Donald Trump is facing all of
that.
Now. How do we know this is all political?
Well, aside from New York's totally novel application of fraud
statutes or Fulton County's spurious claims that Trump is running
some kind of Rico enterprise,
there's this obvious point. Had Trump just quietly retired from
politics,
none of us would have heard about Leticia or Fanny
or Jack.
Russia and its Biden era ally China.
Well, they're pros, aren't they,
at destroying dissent before it gets too powerful.
They're brutally vicious and efficient.
China subjugates and tortures Uyghur Muslims.
Russia crushes the pro freedom protesters,
imprisons Navalny, then announces a sudden death.
Now, anyone who challenges the ruling authority now knows the
same fate can happen to them
now. By the same token,
loyalists who prove themselves, you know,
to be, you know, real followers of the movement or
they get special privileges and accolades.
And that's exactly what the leaders of the Get Trump
crew are hoping.
Watching this, you could see,
you know, Sonny Willis was if standing on business was
a witness.
I also saw today, frankly,
was a clinic in black womanhood.
He's a fraudulent businessman. And eventually those House of Cards
fall down.
But Tish James was really smart.
There were many winners today when the Court of Appeals
opinion was issued.
Special prosecutor Jack Smith and his brilliant legal team.
Yeah,
with communist dictators. Now we know what we're getting right.
We're getting tyranny. Dissent is not tolerated.
Period, of course. All supposedly to protect the tranquility and
security of the motherland bull.
And North Korea, Russia, China.
The rule of law is perverted and it's weaponized against
inconvenient forces.
Everyone knows the game. Security forces,
government lawyers, judges. They're not independent.
They're all political hatchet men for the Communist Party.
And since 2015, when Trump announced his run for the
presidency,
official forces in Washington have been unleashed on him,
from the deep State to the Russia hoax to the
lowlife DA in Manhattan.
They call him Pro Putin as they scramble to put
him in jail,
bankrupt him, and even come after his family.
And by the way they brag about it,
I look forward to going into the office of Attorney
General every day,
suing him, defending,
and then going home. We will rise up together and
we will resist this president that ultimately will bring him
down.
And Friday, she bragged about getting her political scalp,
claiming it was going to help the little guy.
Today
the court once again ruled in our favor
and in favor of every hard working American who plays
by the rules.
Donald Trump and the other defendants were ordered to pay
$463.9 million.
This is not what America is supposed to be.
This is Soviet style political persecution.
Trump's original appeal came from his message that the American
system run by and for the globalist had become rigged
against our middle class.
That's why he got so much publicity.
That's why people flock to him.
In 2015 and 2016 he focused on our trade policies,
spend, you know, sending millions of jobs overseas.
We engaged in too many endless,
pointless, costly wars. We had an out of control,
unaccountable, permanent bureaucracy. And of course,
millions of illegals were crossing the border
and America hating radicals were taking over the schools.
Of course, on all of that he was right.
But in their quest to not merely drive him from
politics but to destroy him personally,
they've damaged every institution that used to have prestige and
respect.
Now New York had the crown as the financial capital
of the world,
but today, what entrepreneur would take the risk in New
York?
Now you get sideways with Leticia or someone like her,
and you could lose everything for no wrongdoing.
By the way, Jonathan Turley put it well,
saying the impact on New York business is likely to
be dire.
New York is already viewed as a hostile business environment,
with the top end of its tax base literally heading
South.
As taxes and crime rises,
this draconian award is only going to deepen concerns over
the arbitrary application of the law.
Now, Governor Hochul, she knows this is going to backfire.
But of course that's a price she's willing to pay.
Her political machine has told her to destroy Trump
and she's going along with the plan.
I think that this is really
an extraordinarily unusual circumstance that the law abiding and rule
following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to
worry about because they're very different than Donald Trump and
his behavior.
Week, week, week, week. Trump literally defrauded no one.
And look, since COVID, many wealthy New Yorkers,
they've left, right, left, New York,
taking their business with them.
This is just another reason for all of them to
bolt.
And they will. Now Governor Hochul has proven that if
you offend the wrong people,
they will try to ruin you.
It's not just the corruption in the court system.
It's the FBI, the CIA,
the DOJ, the SEC, the FCC,
the corporate press, even the military.
All these institutions are supposed to exist for all of
our benefits,
regardless of politics. Politics should never come into play.
But about half of the voting public now believes that
those institutions,
for the most part, are just tools of the DNC.
You don't play ball or you're a disruptor.
Think you know Elon Musk or Trump,
and they will eventually make you pay big time.
Now
let's be clear, Trump got
74 million votes in the last election,
and those people contribute trillions every year to our GDP.
So are they all Russian sympathizers?
Are they all potential insurrectionists?
Omega mega monster class? Of course not.
These are decent patriots who simply want the government to
work for the American people.
There are none so blind than those who refuse to
see
and in their rabid zeal to stop Trump,
the establishment has not only sacrificed their reputations but the
credibility of key American institutions.
At this point, every country in the world understands that
the FBI and the CIA are nothing more than branches
of Biden's re election campaign.
That's a terrible message to send to the world
by laying waste of their own institutions,
the establishment setting itself up for a major loss.
Even if they finish off Trump legally,
politically, financially, they're going to be shocked to discover that
for many,
many years to come, their position will be significantly weaker
because so many voters and so many leaders in other
foreign countries will know beyond any doubt
that US institutions have been weaponized for short term political
gain.
Some people like Biden, Lincoln.
They can huff and puff about Putin all they want,
but to the rest of the world,
they're going to just look like hypocrites who will do
whatever it takes to destroy their own political opponents.
Look, if they had their way,
Trump would rot in jail for the rest of his
life.
We all know that. But when Biden talks about democracy
or freedom or following the Constitution,
that is just empty rhetoric,
no more meaningful than the phrases we hear from dictators
all over the world.
We can only hope that the voters correct this situation
and give us a government that truly respects the will
of the people.
Otherwise, this notion that America stands for freedom and liberty
will become harder and harder to take seriously.
And that's the angle.
