and i have never looked cooler. where do you get your ties? thanks, gary. it's just these glasses, i don't know i do need them to read up close. the ties most are from brooks brothers but a bunch of different ties. tomorrow on "special report" come ground segment with senators tim kaine and ted cruz on bipartisan legislation to combat illicit drugs such as thank and fentanyl. we are continuing to do that common ground bringing republicans and democrats together talking about things they are working on. remember if you can't catch us live set your dvr 3:00 p.m. in the west and 6:00 p.m. in the east. that's it for this "special report." fair, balanced and still unafraid. "the ingraham angle" starts now. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. while the presidential nominating contests are wrapped

up. voters are still going to the polls in key states like florlt and arizona to make their voices heard. we are going to bring you the results of those races at the bottom of the screen throughout the hour. meanwhile, all eyes are on ohio's g.o.p. senate primary where polls are closing in about 30 minutes or so. trump endorsed frontrunner bernie moreno trying to hold his lead so he can take on democrat senator sherrod brown in november and possibly change the balance of power in the u.s. senate. we're going to bring you all those details as we get them. but, first. ready, set, don't fire. that's the focus of tonight's angle. thanks to house republicans and gold star families who refuse to take silence for an answer, former biden officials were forced to sit and answer questions today on that disastrous afghanistan withdrawal. now, without naming names. the generals denied they were at

fault. >> n. if there was culpability in this attack it lies in policy decisions that created the environment of august 2021 in ckabul. do you believe if state and dod were on the same page that bagram could have remained a viable option? once you go below 2.5 k for u.s. forces you can't hold bagram. at 2.5, i was enthusiastic about holding bagram. >> presidents make decisions and once that decision is made we execute. the refusal to abide by the recommendations that both of you made would have preserved the option to maintain bagram. would bagram have been a preferable strategic exit. >> all things being equal, you would prefer to have bagram at 2.5 k. >> laura: what the generals are saying is that the resources and troop levels were not sufficient for a safe withdraw from both abby gate and bagram. how strenuously though did they argue that point? did they warn of the potential number of u.s. casualties?

now, some in common sense. you don't announce your withdrawing of military presence as biden did hostile country only then to drag your feet on the actual removal of personnel and equipment the term sitting ducks come to mind? again, milley blamed blinken and biden without using their names. >> 14 april 21 president biden made the formal announcement of his decision to honor agreement with military withdrawal while maintaining continued diplomatic presence. the department of defense understood that our mission was to conduct a retrograde of the remaining u.s. military forces and equipment while leaving a small contingent to defender the american embassy while diplomatic outcomes were negotiated on 14 august the noncombatant evacuation decision was made by the department of state and the u.s. military alerted marshall mobilized and rapidly deployed faster than any military in the world could ever do. it's my assessment that that

decision came too late. >> laura: well the department of state is not a person, of course. and, of course, this all begs the question, why on earth did we stay in afghanistan for 20 years? the money wasted, the wonderful and credible brave people we lost for what? >> at the end of 20 years we the military helped build an army of state where we could not forge a nation. >> the enemy occupied kabul, the overthrow of the government occurred, and the military we supported for two decades faded away. that is a strategic failure. >> laura: well, don't forget, we spent billions upon billions training afghan troops. we were told it was going to work yet the afghan military so it's called as soon as the taliban began making resurgence it dissolved. it's a tribal society and always will be. we had no business being there. and despite our spending $800 billion annually on defense

you can't buy pragmatic thinking. the general, heck, even low level enlisted men stationed there knew full well what a rag tag group the afghan security forces were. without american money and our own military propping them up, they couldn't stand on their own. >> what role did the sudden just almost instantaneous collapse of the afghan government play in the events following the continuing evacuation and withdrawal? >> like melted away. and that was probably the most significant immediate operational effect of the collapse of the afghan government. we thought saw it as a possibility. that's why we had to put in almost 6,000 u.s. forces to replace those afghanistans that had melted away. we would have been able to hold with a small smaller number of u.s. force had the afghans remain. when the government collapsed that went away. that had immediate effects on

everything else that followed. >> laura: right. right. aren't our generals generals because they have the ability to game out scenarios better than anyone else? they knew the president of afghanistan was a puppet with no real support among the people; thus, they should have known that he and all his top staff would plan to save themselves first by bugging out of the country. but, they admitted their projections were off. >> we estimated that the earliest time of complete collapse could be in the fall, maybe around thanksgiving, something like that. nothing indicated august per se. >> president ghani's entire cabinet less one. one went up into the valley. the rest of them got on airplanes and took off out of the country. as soon as the asn saw that they immediately took their weapons off and put weapons down and collapsed. >> laura: no kidding. this is obvious stuff. this was predicted by people who were critics of this conflict from almost the beginning and at one point today general milley

seemed to indicate that real accountability may be long, long off. lots of documents needed reproduced and other military personnel need to testify. >> if you are going to get an accurate picture, there is lots of people along the line that will need to be discussed. there is a lot of documents. the vast majority of them are classified, and many very highly classified. and how that would work between, say, the department of defense, department of state, cia, et cetera, and the various committees, but, to get a full comprehensive holistic picture, you are gonna have to get documents and all that. that's going to take a long time. and as rules that govern all of that. >> laura: okay. of course, some key questions do remain that only the commanding officers on the ground know the answers to. >> when the team on the ground was seeking authority to take out the perspective bomber and

they saw somebody that matched the description, they were told, quote: leadership did not have engagement authority for us. do not engage. did we ever figure out what happened in the chain of command there? >> i don't have personal knowledge of that set of asks or denials. >> laura: wait? he doesn't have knowledge about that set of is asks or denials? that's kind of strange. as that's a pretty important thing for him to have inquired about in the aftermath of americans dying. don't you think? now, right after ethics change, chairman mccall said that the committee has asked dod for documents to be produced and for the testimony of the commanding officers who were on the ground. but no luck so far getting any of that information. so the obvious question, after years had have gone by, what is the biden administration hiding and why? if such do not engage order had

been in effect, it was insane and that individual should be fired. but then again, no one ever fired in this administration for anything. secretary austin wasn't fired after being missing for three days and failing to disclose his hospitalization. janet yellen wasn't fired despite spectacularly missing inflation. mayor pete kept his job after east palestine, ohio. that derailment and various faa screw ups. alejandro mayorkas wasn't fired when the border situation exploded but then again, is he executing his orders perfectly. flood the country with as many illegals as possible and who knows how many of them could actually end up voting for their benefactors. but, in biden world, firing blinken or austin would just mean admitting to failure. and, remember, to them, everything is a p.r. problem. the economy, the border, crime, ukraine, all of it.

they will never ever change their policies. they will just rebrand the old policies. and the same refusal to cut your losses and change course infects our pentagon. no matter how much and for how long american voters wanted to see an end to the afghanistan war, the pentagon never wanted to take its fingers out of the dike. no matter how unpopular the war became. and now, all these years later, we still see no one take responsibility for major policy failures that resulted in an incalculable destruction to our country and the loss of life. and at the same time, we see our government unfairly target president trump. the chief political rival of joe biden. they are going to hold trump accountable for no wrongdoing. and let real wrong doers skate. including in biden's own family. in november, voters finally have

their chance to do something that president refused to do. fire the idiots responsible for the mess we're in. and that's the angle. joining us now is daniel davis, retired lt. colonel of defense priorities and host of the daniel davis deep dive on yush. and medal of honor recipient staff sergeant david bellavia. lt. colonel davis, let's start with you. no one still held accountable, despite american death. what did you think of milley's testimony today? >> well, you know, i expected him to basically say that it wasn't his fault and he was just following orders and all of that. that pretty much what he did. at love the stuff he said was right. what he didn't say which stood out to me, he didn't say that the president trump had put the united states on a course to withdraw from afghanistan by the march 31st of 2021. in february of 2020. that should have put the pentagon on a course to have a

resourced planned and rehearsed operation how to get everybody out by the designated time. but, as we found out, because he has said here he actually didn't want to leave at all. so, clearly he drug his feet. did not prepare and plan, hoping that the next administration would change their mind. and, then, when they didn't. they are cut short and don't have much time to respond. i think that's one of the most egregious failures of the entire chain of command. >> laura: mr. bellavia, your response to what you heard today again, no one was fired. we still haven't heard from the cos on the ground. and really, the names weren't really used at all today. nobody wants to take responsibility and certainly biden is not going to hold anyone accountability. >> i just can't get over the fact that the beta males in the state department are dictating to generals, four star generals, navy seals, delta force commanders how to fight? stop it. you are telling me that you

found out five days after six drones followed a guy around that you were telling us was the next zarqawi of isis-k only to find out he is the spring waters delivery guy of kabul. you saw secondary explosions? this whole thing is nonsense. it doesn't make any sense. we are talking about not repeating the mistakes of afghanistan. laura, we are in haiti right now and nobody knows how many americans are there. how many americans to get out. we have no -- we are not learning lessons like we learned in nigeria or niger or belarus or any of the other nine embassies that we have unloaded under president biden. these aren't lessons learned. the state department is running the show. tony blinken has more testosterone than general milley. i don't understand what the hell is going on here. >> laura: well, mark milley did talk about the chain of command today.

watch this. >> one thing that you may take a look at is the law on lead federal agencies with respect to noncombatant evacuation operations. who has decision authority. right now the law is ambassador and secretary of state. command and control and the decision authority and who is in charge matters. and when you make these calls matter. so i think that's something. i believe it's codified in law, actually, about the department -- i'm not positive about that but i think it is. >> laura: lt. colonel so the state department we hear made this call. we don't elect generals. he is the commander-in-chief and presumably he was in the situation room on top of all these details, right? who is in charge here? >> that's really one of the big problems there was a lot of guys that kind of wanted to do something but didn't want to take responsibility so then you

have this disaster here. and i give just a little bit of leeway the original plan was the withdrawal of the military forces and they thought they were going to have the government there and that they would have a military there so they wouldn't be taking all the civilians out that didn't come until very late. they only get a little bit of credit for that because milley said in september of 2021 that he was shocked that this had happened. you touched on that in your opening there that he should have known. >> how was he hooked? >> this is going to come across. the fact that he didn't know is even more problematic. >> yeah. david, on that point, we had forces that our men trained in afghanistan who then turned guns on our troops. remember covering all of those who are risk cases where our troops were murder derderian by the people they trained. we knew or should have known these people what they had no loyalty to anything except getting a check. most of them, not all of them.

but, i mean, to act like you are surprised by this? i'm sorry, with all due respect to general milley, i wasn't buying that at all. >> >> there was a whole lot today that required suspension of disbelief. and in real time by the way. pakistan is now doing air raids on afghanistan. no one seemed to want to mention the elephant in the room is that the regions -- it's not just that the biden administration is screwing up the world, it's that these are real consequences. it's recruiting retention. it's affecting our recruiting and our retention and, of course, you have gold star families that are affected forever. listen, this was campaign ad for 2024. that's what today was. it's time for adult to take the world over again. and adults to return back in the room. >> daniel and david, thank you both tonight. all right. letitia james, she wants control of trump tower and she wants mar-a-lago. yeah. chris landau is here to explain the lawfare, next. ♪

james figuratively speaking putting a big new york state padlock on trump tower. >> letitia james seizes his properties, puts liens on all of his assets, bank accounts that is not restricted to new york. she probably at this point understands where he has different assets in florida, mar-a-lago. >> laura: they are salivating. she ever salivating. joining me now is chris landau former law clerk to justice scalia. a friend texted me today and said trump should crowd fund this fine like i think like 1 million supporters. each gave him $450. that would cover the fine. but in the meantime what are his options here an emergency stay from a federal court? where does he go? >> well, he is in the state court system now. so, what he has to do, the trial court in new york, justice engoron who imposed the fine refused to stay it. he has to go to the new york intermediate appellate court,

seeking relief and seeking some kind of a stay without posting the full amount of the bond, which his lawyers have said is impossible. who has $500 million in cash just sitting around under a mattress. we are talking about a wonder that would be put into escrow that satisfy the judgment. if is he able to raise that, that allows him to get a stay automatically and there can be no execution of the judgment. unless he gets relief either from the new york intermediate appellate court or from the new york's highest court. >> the court of appeals. is he going to basically be subject to execution on his properties by tish james as she is threatening unless he posts that bond and get that automatic stay. regardless of the merits of th appeal. it's one of the crazy aspects that in a sense the backier and bigger the underlying judgment the harder it is to post a bond to prevent the judgment from being executed when you are telling an appellate court this is a wacky judgment. >> laura: we have talked about this before. for those across the country who haven't heard this. the eighth amendment, it's not

just cruel and unusual punishment but excessive fines. against usually we would think a criminal defendant but in this case this is a civil fine. that would have to be decided at the supreme court of the united states level. correct? >> yes. so that is a federal issue. the eighth amendment is an amendment to the u.s. constitution. you can raise your issues but you have to raise your federal issues in the state court system. but ultimately, you can raise them all the way up to the u.s. supreme court if necessary. if you don't get relief in the state court system. i continue to hope that somebody in the new york court system will recognize that new york maybe has been the financial capital for the world for the past century because it has a reputation for upholding the rule of law, laura. and, you know, that reputation can be blown in new york is seen as a bunch of political hacks and clowns in their judiciary who will do anything to reach a

desired objective. so, i actually think a lot more is at stake here than donald trump. this is really about the future of new york as a great financial capital of the world. if you think justice engoron is going to be the kind of person that's in charge of your company, who is going to invest a nickel in new york? >> laura: chris, just to be clear, they have to raise the federal claim on appeal in the state intermediate court. have they done that? >> you know, i haven't reviewed all the papers, laura. i assume he has a good legal team. i assume they are raising all the necessary defenses. now, again, what we are talking about here, the excessive fine, that's the case on the merits. right? that's the merits of the appeal. >> laura: they have to post the bond. >> in the short run is the bond. which is really, again, you know, that is the immediate issue which is basically unless he posts the bond, they can start executing on his -- on the judgment. even while the appeal is pending, even if he wins the appeal, it could be that they

will seize trump tower. i think this is all going to backfire politically. i would think if i were a democrat, i would be trying to get la tissue that james not to be, you know, seizing these properties. it may make msnbc salivate but i think a lot of people are going to be very turned off by this lawfare. particularly when he they're taking the cash -- sure mikesell pleasure. good to see you. >> laura: it's so out of control, you can't believe this is actually before the united states of america. chris, thank you. in just moments polls are going to close in a key republican senate primary. we will have the latest. plus, speaking of the supreme court, give texas a big win in its fight against biden's open borders. i'm going to explain it, next. ♪ when dry eye symptoms keep... coming... back... inflammation might be to blame. over-the-counter eye drops can provide temporary relief. xiidra can provide lasting relief. it targets inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. xiidra? no-o-o! xiidra treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. don't use if allergic to xiidra.

closeness ohio where the g.o.p. senate primary is turning out to be a nail-biter. fox news correspondent mark meredith is live from cleveland at the headquarters for trump endorsed candidate bernie moreno. mark, what's the feeling there? >> laura, good evening to you. as you mentioned the polls just closed within the last few minutes still some time before we find out which republican is going to take on democratic senator sherrod brown in one of the most consequential senate races this fall. this primary has certainly been contentious. where you are as we mentioned the campaign headquarters for bernie moreno a businessman for ohio. the candidate former president trump endorsed. that trump endorsement may make a huge difference in race. we will have to wait to see what the results say. we have seen moreno campaign on the maga agenda as well as with the support of the last 72 hours of ohio senator j.d. vance. vance out there on the stump really trying to help bring moreno to the finish line. the other candidate is matt dolan. taking the opposite approach here to what we have seen with

moreno instead campaigning with the governor of the state mike dewine as the former senator rob portman the idea of the campaign dolan is trying to push forward is return from the pretrump era of republican politics pushing a little more civility in this race and obviously there is going to be a lot of focus about how much money was spent on this race both moreno and doll lab investing a lot of their own money to get to this point tonight. also listening for the secretary of state frank larose to see what kind of exact he will have on the race. he campaigned a lot laura on the trump issues. without that trump endorsement and also made it clear he hopes voters will see his army record as something to be proud of and we should get those results here in the next little bit. laura? >> laura: all right, mark, looking forward to it. a decision has top jubilant tonight. the supreme court ruled 6-3 s.b. 4 the law allowing the state to arrest illegal border crossers can take effect as the case returns to the federal appellate court for a full argument on the merits. and just yesterday, the court had extended the temporary block

on the law. but today both mexican officials and biden administration were outranged. in statement, the white house press office called the ruling harmful and unconstitutional. and then hilariously they contend that it would burden law enforcement and quote sow chaos. joining me now texas lt. governor dan patrick. all right, dan, now you guys are causing chaos by enforcing laws that the feds refuse to enforce. explain that to me. >> well, you know, laura, we have talked about invasion so many times on your show that you had me on. and i always believed and i thank migrate legal team and senator charles perry. we wrote this bill and we believed that we could make the case that this was a better law that failed from arizona many years ago in the supreme court. it was a better law. it is constitutional. because we could prove we're being invaded and that, i think,

is the key. land, by sea, by air. you know, the story of the drones a thousand drones a month. boats have been coming into florida for years, bringing in drugs and illegal immigrants and the millions that have crossed over biden's open border policy i always believed in this bill. a lot of people didn't. this is law now. it has to be finally adjudicated. at some point in the courts. but we believe this is great first step and we're going to start arresting g illegals and sending them back to mexico or putting them in jail. >> laura: good. good. enough to the mexican foreign affairs secretary, no surprise here, reacted to the ruling this way saying mexico expresses its rejection of the decisions of the supreme court the entry into force the s.b. 4 our country will not accept repatriation from the state of texas. the dialogue on immigration matters will continue, et cetera, et cetera. what a big change from the days where the remain in mexico

policy was the law of the land under trump. where basically they said you don't allow us to send these people back and wait in your country, we're going to slap a huge tariff on your goods and suddenly mexico was like what can i do? >> look, laura, president trump and i talked with him today after the supreme court decision. he had the border secured. and joe biden open border policy at least 10 million that have come across the 28 bridges that doesn't count the million we can't catch or don't see. of course mexico is taking that stand. when president trump returns to the white house i believe that border will be closed on day one and then is he going to begin sending back the people who are here illegally. you know, there was a time, laura that, some people said well, you can't do that let me tell you whether you live in a red state or a blue state a red city or a blue city, the citizens are fed up with the

existence that means gas powered cars as well as gas powered appliances, leaf blowers, lawn mowers, et cetera. emission standards going to come out tomorrow, i haven't seen them but i'm 100 percent certain they are going to be incredibly punitive because, as you mentioned earlier, ev sales are dwindling, so the only way to make people to buy an ev force them by eliminating the competition. they will use the power of government to regulate out of existence the big three and all the other free market products that they don't want you to have anymore. >> laura: yeah. they went are a him because he called it a bloodbath. we know what a bloodbath is in the automobile manufacturing market. it would just memean the closure of american car companies. that's what he was getting at. and what about the lie at the same time that this is better for the environment? that's a constant lie that's told about electric vehicles. >> well, evs, all of the adjectives they use they are carbon neutral.

they are green, they are clean. those are all made up terms. just as made up as jennifer granholm's statistics there that by 203050% of evs -- 50% of cars will be evs. these are a all arbitrary numbers pulled out of thin air. they are not based on free markets or free decision. they are based on politics. but the problem is that when you have at power of government to force a political decision well you are gonna we would it without care for freedom. for free people. for your property. so it's going to be really really devastating. we have seen ev manufacturing plants to move to mexico. the company that did so, this is so offensive. they said mexico does this very efficiently. no they don't. i mean, mexico doesn't have an osha. they don't have epa. they don't have labor . they don't have to give you weekends off. >> laura: of course not. >> so that's what they are going to do. they are going to drive out businesses and they are going to move overseas like the ev industry as regulators.

>> laura: daniel, i have got to read one comment. this is from the ceo of the chinese ev maker xi ping. he told employees this year also marks the beginning of a fierce competition that may end in a bloodbath or as i prefer to call it the brutal knockout round among chinese automakers, daniel, i guess it's okay when the chinese say it. daniel, we appreciate it what could biden's han handlers haven common with the oscars. common with the oscars. expwrimy failla is here to explain it, next. ♪e great. one more thing to worry about. it was all too hard to deal with in the beginning, but making a plan with my doctor to add precision was easy. preservision areds2 contains the exact nei recommended, clinically proven nutrient formula to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression.

>> laura: now time for wtf, joining me is at jimmy faila the host of fox news saturday night good to see you tonight i know that you are excited because biden had an oscar like moment today.

>> president joe biden: wages up across the board so look i've gone on too long and i apologize. [ laughter ] [ simultaneous talking ] >> laura: he tried to cover that but what is going on there? >> the easter bunny was not there normally they wouldn't play music the easter bunny would come out like they did at that easter egg roll that time which to this day if you watch the video of him being interrupted by the easter bunny he looks like a guy who believed he met a talking rabbit it's pretty funny to watch but in this instance they just couldn't play his campaign song freefalling so they went with that old jim and this is where we are at now. >> laura: they always do that they have him say ivana not go there i will get in trouble or i think i have gone on too

long or look that is his little crotch, verbal crotch. >> that's how he asks for them to stop essentially we have a president like if anyone has ever travelled with adopt -- toddler you have devices in case they lose their way you have a lollipop or a squeaky toy that is our president now they have a little bag of thanks in case things go wrong so quickly as song handyman ice cream cone get him out of here it is kinda crazy to watch but that is the world we're living in. >> laura: jimmy the new york times put out an opinion piece today celebrating your friends at the deep state calling it actually kind of awesome when we hear deep state instead of recoiling we should really think we shouldn't rally we should think about the workers as the everyday superheroes that wake up ready to dedicate their careers and lives to serving us. >> i preferred that narrative in the original north korean because you understood the propaganda for what

it was this is so embarrassing i mean telling me you are dating a spy without tell me you're dating us by either that or i don't even know what to make of this it was supposed to be coming because they were showing rank-and-file workers but it's a strawman argument because drop not going after rank-and-file workers you're talking about powerful bureaucrats that are shaping government policy which we all know is the case so a bit of a miss but again it is always nice when the new york times can get a pat on the back from kim jong un for a job well done. >> laura: to think that they see that people are coming against the abuse of government authority and the use of it against the people and they want to try to protected but we have to get to this story because it's right in your wheelhouse one of one of the royals has a new business venture watch. >> meghan markle decided it was the last -- right meant to launch her laptop ran on instagram

the trademark promises things like tableware cookware food textiles. >> laura: is this the new group, a dupe. >> you know that scientists have a word for people who buy meghan markle's brand, they are called idiots, this is such a gripped american riviera what is that it sounds like an expensive candle that will upset my dog when he smells it because they have blended some pretentious sense but this part of me that respects are because she got rich off of stupid people she's like the bernie sanders of celebrities and that she is making money by playing some sort of victim. >> laura: it was great to see you as always and i know you will be buying her freshly minted candles catch jimmy on the road in montana a lot of cool places follow me on social media jesse is next. >> jesse: welcome to jesse watters primetime tonigh
