In a scathing monologue that cut straight to the heart of the latest Washington controversy, Fox News host Laura Ingraham delivered a powerful rebuke to the Democratic Party on the November 24, 2025, edition of The Ingraham Angle. The segment, titled “Nobody is Buying This,” dissected a recent video released by a group of Democratic lawmakers—dubbed by some critics as the “Seditious Six”—which urged U.S. military personnel to defy “illegal orders” from the Trump administration.
Ingraham did not mince words, labeling the Democrats’ latest maneuver as both “unserious and dangerous.” Her analysis provides a critical look at how the opposition party is struggling to find its footing in the current political landscape, resorting to what she characterizes as fear-mongering and institutional destabilization.
The “Seditious Six” and the Manufactured Crisis
The controversy began when six Democratic lawmakers, all with military or intelligence backgrounds, released a coordinated video message addressed to the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces. Their message was simple but loaded: they reminded troops of their duty to disobey “illegal” orders. While on the surface this sounds like a restatement of standard military law, the context was unmistakable. It was a direct shot at President Donald Trump, implying that his administration is on the verge of issuing unlawful commands to the military.
Ingraham opened her segment by exposing the absurdity of this premise. She argued that this was not a genuine attempt to educate soldiers on the Uniform Code of Military Justice, but rather a calculated political stunt designed to sow discord and panic. By preemptively suggesting that the Commander-in-Chief is a threat to the rule of law, these Democrats are engaging in what Ingraham and other critics—including President Trump himself—have termed “sedition.”
The host pointed out that this narrative is a continuation of the “Trump is a dictator” trope that has failed to resonate with voters for years. By reviving it in such a direct and institutional way, Ingraham argued, the Democrats are showing just how desperate they have become.
Unserious and Dangerous: undermining the Chain of Command
One of the core arguments Ingraham drove home was the sheer danger of such rhetoric. The U.S. military relies on a strict chain of command and the assumption of discipline and order. For sitting members of Congress to actively encourage skepticism and potential insubordination within the ranks is, in Ingraham’s view, a reckless game with national security.
She emphasized that the Democrats are “playing with fire” by politicizing the military. The term “unserious” was used to describe the lawmakers’ grasp of reality—there is no evidence that the administration is planning illegal operations—but “dangerous” was the operative word for the consequences. Ingraham warned that eroding trust between the military and civilian leadership for the sake of a soundbite weakens the nation’s defense posture and emboldens adversaries abroad.
When political leaders signal to the troops that their Commander-in-Chief is illegitimate or rogue, they aren’t just attacking a president; they are attacking the constitutional structure of the military itself. Ingraham’s monologue highlighted this distinction, framing the Democrats’ actions not just as partisan attacks, but as an institutional betrayal.
Why “Nobody Is Buying This”
The title of the segment, “Nobody is Buying This,” refers to the American public’s reaction—or lack thereof—to the Democrats’ latest hysteria. Ingraham argued that the average American voter has tuned out the “boy who cried wolf” narratives coming from the left.
After years of being told that democracy is ending, that fascism is around the corner, and that the sky is falling, the public has become desensitized to the hyperbole. Ingraham noted that while Democrats focus on imaginary scenarios of military coups and illegal orders, everyday Americans are worried about real issues: the cost of living, the safety of their communities, and the security of the border.
By focusing on abstract and fabricated fears, the Democratic Party is exposing a widening gap between their priorities and the reality of American life. Ingraham suggested that this strategy is alienating the very voters Democrats need to win back. The “resistance” theater that plays well on social media or cable news panels falls flat in the heartland, where people want solutions, not sedition.
A Pattern of Desperation
Ingraham placed this specific event within a broader pattern of Democratic behavior. From the “Russia collusion” hoax to the current “illegal orders” narrative, she traced a line of continuity where the opposition refuses to accept the legitimacy of a Trump presidency. However, unlike previous years where such narratives might have gained traction, Ingraham argued that the political capital for this kind of outrage has been exhausted.
The segment also touched on the backlash this video has received, not just from conservative pundits but from within the military community itself, who resent being used as pawns in a political chess game. Ingraham cited reactions from other GOP leaders and the administration, reinforcing the view that the “Seditious Six” have overplayed their hand.
Conclusion
Laura Ingraham’s “Nobody is Buying This” monologue serves as a potent summary of the current political mood. It paints a picture of a Democratic Party that is out of ideas and out of touch, resorting to dangerous rhetoric to maintain relevance. By trying to drive a wedge between the President and the military, they have only succeeded in exposing their own desperation.
As Ingraham concluded, the American people are too smart to fall for it. They see the “illegal orders” narrative for what it is: a distraction from a party that has no positive vision to offer. In the end, the only thing being bought is the realization that the Democrats have become the very source of instability they claim to oppose.
