to help reduce urges to for you this means less bathroom interruptions, improved stream and emptying, and less urges to go during the night. let super bad a help you return to normalcy. find it at wal-mart. are these website for one final thought adam where are you going to at the l.a. comedy club at the strat in las vegas this thursday sun accident. where can people get tickets? i have no idea. >> but we like to we like to keep everything a mystery i'm sure they could just go to a website or just shout at a clour ond. all right. we're out of time. thank you. clearly, adam hunterthl.a., >> laura: good evening, i'm laura ingraham, this is "the

ingraham angle" from washington tonight. we have a jam-packed show, including an interview with the parents of an 11-year-old who say their daughter was forced to share a bed with a biological man boy while on a school trip. and how rioters are compared. and poison ivy is tonight's angle. >> life on campus for jewish students feels like this. >> i was forced to leave my study group halfway through the semester because my group members told me -- deserved to die. >> being a jew at nyu means being physically assaulted while

wearing an israeli-american flag and having my attacker roam freely on campus. >> a mob, many of whom were not law students or harvard affiliates, got into our building chanting phrases. i watched someone hide under a desk. >> laura: it took a lot of guts for the students to speak out. they did speak out regarding antisemitism at our nation's colleges and universities. shortly after the october 7 massacre, americans have seen what many of us have known for years, our institutions of higher learning have become institutions of liars earning big money for doing nothing. where were the diversity deans when the slaughter of innocent

jews were held or do only trans transgender,blm types? when they are asked about antisemitism, pivot quickly to islamophobia. >> during these past months, the world, our nation and campuses have also seen a rise of incidents of islamophobia. we are seeing a rise in intimidation and threats toward individuals based on their identity as muslim or arab. we have launched standing together against hate in addition to fighting antisemitism, it will also fight islamophobia, also on the rise. >> laura: do you recall any huge rally on any campuses urging annihilation of muslims?

mobs roaming about campus, terrifying international stations from the mideast? >> has there been a large gathering in support of slaughter of muslim or elimination of arab states that you are aware of since october 7. >> not that i am aware of. >> then you agree, they are not equivalent problems. >> congressman, i abhor all actses of hate. >> laura: that is rehearsed. this begs the question, what happened when students brought their concern to college administrators? >> day after day mit failed to enforce own rules on antisemitic actors such as the chaplin intimidating jewish students, dei staff declaring israel has

no right to exist, faculty dismissing student concern for safety telling them if they are scared, they should just go back to israel. >> wow, fair-minded americans should be thankful for mike johnson, steve scalise and elise stefanik. supposed respect for free expregsz is what factor constrain their response to some of the pro-hamas rallies. >> free exchange of ideas is foundation upon which harvard is built and safety and well being are prerequisite in our community. diverse viewpoints are debated. those arguing for speech code,

need to be countered with -- and we are doing that. >> laura: since when have the schools been known for respecting viewpoints other than those fiercely left wing? imagine this, imagine someone, i think pretty sensible, ron desantis, what if he came to speak on campus in an open forum in cambridge? i mean open forum, not invitation only, scripted questions. how would it go down? we know what routinely happens on campus? stan ford students shouted down judge kyle duncan. kristen hawkins was yelled at until she was asked to leave the room. in april at san francisco state

university riley gaines was met by an onslot of trans activists and she was forced to free the building. last year political view of college professors demonstrate how conformity of thought is policed on campus. 50% of professors are liberal, just 26% conservative. self-censorship at exam time when a paper is assigned or a student is called on in class, we're never going to know how pervasive it is, but from what i've heard from sons and daughters in school or recent grads, they say things like this. i keep my head down. then i write what i think the professors want to read. that is how they get a's and now university presidents want to throw up their hands and say we're not for speech codes, they

have always been for speech codes. come on, man, to quote joe biden. there is active wing in the antis antisemitic party. if the -- doesn't turn out, he could be in major trouble and colleges have resorted to this twisted dance that are bubbling up on campus. for their part, democrats have backed themselves into a corner and the best they can do is try to blame republicans. colleagues claim to be committed to combating discrimination on campus, they are simultaneously stocking culture wars that can be divisive and discriminatory. i hope my republican colleagues will denounce the culture wars. >> laura: i guess he's talking

about biological men who compete in field hockey or swimming, those are vulnerable students, have you seen them? please. more bad acting. there is zero empathy for the jewish students traumatized here and they only started pretending to care when donors noticed. donors like bill achman. your views are protected. whenun stereos tell you life on campus is unsafe and there is a double standard where only certain people are respected, believe me. this fester antiamericanism and antisemitism will still be there. so now it is up to donors and

alumni, to put their money where their principles are. that is the angle. joining me is one of the students who spoke today, a senior at upenn. great to see you. were you satisfied with what you heard from the university president today? >> not at all. particularly when elise stefanik asked if the code of conduct of university of pennsylvania allow students and professors to say and rally around the idea of the genocide of jews. it was a very direct question. and president mcgill said there needs to be context provided to calling for genocide of jews. i don't understand what context she is referring to and it is terrifying for myself and other students. the genocide of jews doesn't

violate the code of conduct, are you serious? >> laura: are you surprised by what you have seen? i'm not surprised at all, i lived this in the '80s at dartmouth. it has gotten worse since then. the anti-israel and pro-hamas sentiment on campus surprising to you? >> there is going to be hate where anybody occupies space, there will be hate. >> laura: you can't outlaw hate, this is different from that. >> 100%, when students and faculty are not held accountable, it becomes a bigger issue and something that can end in a student seriously getting physically harmed and i hope universities agree that should be avoided. >> laura: i know you and another student are filing a lawsuit for egregious violation of civil

rights law, but i want to play something else she said in line with what i said in the angle about what they are doing about all types of bigotry on campus. watch. >> we are in the midst of making certain that all antibigotry efforts ensure education on antisemitism. some parts of the program do and some parts of the program need to be enhanced. we are working on that now and will make sure that is included, antisemitism. >> laura: antibigotry efforts are underway on campus. >> i feel for anyone who experiences hate, jewish or not. as someone who -- >> laura: welcome to the world, i'm hated by a lot of people. this is different, this is calling for genocide of jews and excusing of beheading of babies. >> and what has been happening onnen approximaten campus

started three months ago, since roger waters dressed up. these were professors inviting them and my class list has been shortened to not as many classes because professors, one of which tweeted during the hearing today issue had hashtag, gaza holocaust. >> laura: i think the antisemitism and antiamericanism is like this, gone like this and i am so happy that you came to capitol hill, as difficult as it was and i wish you all the best with what you are doing. we stand with the jewish people. thank you. joining me is victor davis hanson, from the hoover institution. this is the left the world has created. do you think there will be any

awakening on campus on the part of administrators or is this legalese you heard from university presidents today? >> no, there won't be anything until they take seriously any effort to reform them. if congress people said you don't reform and treat jewish students as you do other students, we'll tax huge endowment or get the government out of the $1.9 trillion student loan business, they might pay attention. what is happening on campus, since 2000s, influx of middle east student who pay with oil-fed scholarships and if you are dei member of marginalized group, you can't be held to be racist because you are victimized and you can say almost anything about anybody else and you are exempt from any

consequences. in the '70s we had 20 or 30% of jewish students in ivy league schools and because of new admission, where you don't judge comparative high school gpa's, jewish population has gone down to 10% and below. put that together and you have a huge group of people who feel there is no consequences in expressing antisemitism and there isn't. if you substitute latino, black, gay, trans, they would be expelled in two seconds, everybody knows that. >> laura: you would never see the light of day nor get a recommendation letter or offer to work. the president of mit, one of the preimminent institutions in the

world addressed this. >> our staff are charged with making campus welcoming for all students. staff are being trained about antisemitism. >> laura: victor, 15 seconds, too little too late? well, she already admitted there are places on campus where jewish students were not safe and she just said don't go there, she has no credibility whatsoever and when students break the rules, they may lose student visa than enforcing laws, no credibility at all. >> laura: it is up to donors and alums now. why are well dressed chinese nationals shows up at our border? the video next.

>> laura: why are so many chinese nationals crossing the southern aboborder? 24,000 chinese nationals were arrested by border patrol, more than the years of five years previous combined.

wow. "new york times" says many chinese nationals fly into ecuador and pay smugglers to guide them through colom bia and panama en route to the united states. does the group in the video look like they trekked through the jungle? how did they get the rolling suitcases through and who is facilitating the trips? joining me is gordon chang. you think biden and xi in san francisco discussed the issue of all these chinese coming into the united states? >> actually, i don't think so, this is something biden can't deal with. he is allows thousands, maybe tens of thousands into the united states. on 9/11, it took only 19

terrorists to kill 2977 americans on one day. >> laura: this is why hunter biden making money in china is a problem for many reasons, but you wonder whether people look the other way. in fiscal year 2023, 21,000 of the chinese nationals who crossed were single adults. what does that tell you? >> it tells me these are saboteurs. they are military age, traveling without family members and pretending not to speak english and some have links to the chinese military.

remember the secret biological weapons facility that was discovered this spring in california, that is pathogens and 1000 mice genetically engineered to spread disease and i believe some saboteurs were meant to take some of the mice and spread around the united states. >> laura: the numbers shocked yours truly and i thought i had seen it all. there is something very disturbing going on and you're the best person to talk about it. thanks so much. most republicans are cracking down on china influence in united states. patrick mchenry, the guy with the bowtie wants to let it grow. blocking amendment to the ndaa. he says he is doing it because

the measure would strengthen rather than weaken the objective of xi jinping and chinese communist party. joining me now is robert lighthizer. how do you respond to that sensible legislation? >> we have to remind ourselves and i think gordon did that and you do it constantly, we're in a cold war with china. they are aggressive and threatening adversary and every time your viewers watch the news and watch wars going on, realize those are proxy wars and paymaster for both of them is china. this is most serious geopolitical threat we have faced as a nation. i start with that. the argument mr. mchenry has and i know mr. mchenry, he's had a great career in the house. he's a smart guy, he was chief

deputy whip, he did good things. on this, the most important geopolitical issue is wrong. their argument is if you invest in china, they will become like switzerland, that is the view the clinton administration had. >> laura: it is ridiculous. >> by the way, at that time, you and i both said it was nonsense, this is the why we gave china this relationship. they are more authoritarian, more aggressive, more antiamerican, they spy on us more. they send over 24,000 people, frame of reference, that is about two army divisions. >> laura: bob, china is, let me say, china has structural

problems, real estate collapse, other issues, why would mchenry and why would any republican, let alone any elected official want to throw them a lifeline? reagan didn't do that with the soviet union? >> it makes no sense at all thchl is very important amendment, not nearly strong enough. it was watered down by chamber of commerce and biden administration, it is important we pass this and i hope mr. mchenry realizes this is going to be very important part of his legacy, he's had a fine career and to have this as your legacy. one other point, he's one guy. 400 house members would vote for this, leadership is responsible, too, not just this one guy, everybody has responsibility.

this is a very popular provision, 96 votes in the senate and get 400 m the house. >> laura: speaker johnson and mcconnell, we want to hear from both of you. blm rioters get off easy and joe biden just made a stunning decision. katie pavlich and ryan are here next. wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage so we don't have to worry about it" conversation. so you're calling about the $9.95 a month plan -from colonial penn? -i am. we put it off long enough. we are getting that $9.95 plan, today.

cover for the president's corrupt family also in how prosecutors handle the violent blm mob and the january 6. judge gave a sweetheart deal to these two, the pair who admitted to burning down that atlanta wendy's after the death of rayshard brooks. a fine, community service and five years probasis. during the summer of love, the media seemed to empathize with the arsonist. >> awful situation in atlanta. look at that building, it is totally engulfed in flames. the situation was very peaceful demonstration, then things

deteriorated. >> i think we minimize pain of the protesters when we focus on the fires or the looting. >> laura: yeah, she said that. i know that is a state case, compared to the sentence of paul hodgkins, who on january 6 wa walked while carrying a flag, eight months in prison. and -- for illegally parading in the capitol. and jacob hansley walked into the capitol with congressional police, he was sentenced to jail for obstructing a proceeding. none of the protesters were accused of any violence give st steeper sentences.

joining us are ned ryan and katie pavlich. this is federal versus state, the double standard here, months and months in prison or years in prison and slap on the wrist. >> you do a meme that offends the regime, go to prison. part of a riot the regime agrees with, you get a slap on the wrist. there is hierarchy, left regime with the right political views, slap on the risk. if you have opposing political views -- >> laura: you question the establishment. >> they will throw the book at you. what is troubling, this is obvious, there are governors and ag's who don't understand what time it is and this is reality. a lot of the base are desperate for gop leader to stand up and say enough, i am convinced the

only way this stops, you have da's and ag's, i will give to you 10 fold. the constitution is nothing but a paper barrier, only thing they understand is power and force. >> laura: katie pavlich, students take off their religious garb because of what is happening with pro-hamas mobs. supporters of trump or desantis, they would think twice about going to a rally that might getut off control. >> of course, the teaparty movement and summer of love, riots of 2020, the most expensive riots in the history of america. entire neighborhoods destroyed for generations and you had the

federal courthouse in portland under siege, rioters tried to glu and trap u.s. marshals in that building and burn it down. attempted murder. half of those cases were dismissed. i don't think it is hipocks ra -- hypocrisy. >> laura: they want to imprison trump. >> they have polled a number of prosecutors off serious sex offender cases to work on nonviolent j 6 cases and the person leading the department of justice is a defend the police advocate. >> laura: federal charges for january 6 charges 430 assault charges, blm riots, 44 assault

charges, damages january 6 2.8 million, blm riots, in the billions. biden ended a fundraising by saying if trump was not running, i'm not sure i would be running, but we can't let him win. that is a stunning admission, i shouldn't be doing this, he's saying. >> pretty amazing joe biden thinks he's best positioned to beat trump. >> laura: he probably is. >> i get that, i understand that, he is a hus husk of what used to be. >> laura: charlottesville is why he ran. >> he will be the nominee until he's not.

i think i actually want trump to run against biden and trump can beat biden and get back to the white house. >> laura: we need -- if there is going to be number two, in case something happens, trump looks like he'll be the nominee. if something should happen and he's not nominee, haley versus desantis, we need that debate. i want to see those two debate, giving them an open forum here. don't you think we need that debate? >> they are debating each other in their own events. >> laura: trump is going to win, but still. >> tomorrow night will be them going against each other a lot. they are in second and third place. >> the base will not go for nikki haley, it is ron desantis, if not trump, but it is trump.

>> laura: now at least two women have been killed by sharks in just the last few days, the first a young mother swimming with her five year old at a mexico beach. she was trying to boost her daughter on a platform when a shark bit her leg and she died of blood los soon after. and another woman was killed while vacationing in the bahamas. jet ski operator telling the guardian he saw the shark pull the paddleboard under the water.

what is going on here? why are the attacks happening? joining me now is forest ga galante. what can you tell us? >> i would say there are two separate instances, not related at all and it is a bad coincidence. likely a tiger shark and bull shark. the situations are different. people bitten were splashing and doing water activities and that drew in the sharks and resulteds in a negative encounter. >> laura: the newlywed off the coast of bahamas was on a paddleboard. in the bahamas, there is a lot of shark activity.

would you caution people against going out that far given what we know about water in the bahamas? >> it's a good question, bahamas are incredible for shark abundance. this was likely a tiger shark, they go up to investigate anything unusual and give it a bite to see whether or not that could be a food source and tiger sharks have been found with everything from tires to license plates to jewelry. it is more about caution ing as being aware of surroundings. paddl paddleboarding in an area with tiger sharks is not a good choice, not a good thing to do and just unfortunate. how would she know there

happened to be a tiger shark there at that point in time. it is truly one of those lightning strike situations. >> laura: would the shark bite at the board first or attracted from the op eddel hitting the water. she was on top of the board when it happened, knocked off the board. >> most likely the shark came up and bumped the board by taking a small bite or knocking it with the board, which they do to gauge if it is a source. the woman is splashing and panicking and that makes it more enticing and leads to the bite and it only takes one bite to be fatal. >> laura: a lot of people are speculating shark tourism makes sharks more or less frightened

of humans and more aclimated to human activity, any truth or concern about that? >> there can be. the truth is if you are feeding sharks, you are going to condition them to associate human beings with food. that inevitably can lead to a negative situation or bad encounter. there are right ways to do s shark -- i think the feeding is not so bad. end of the day, if you feed wild animals, they see you as a food source. >> laura: that is not what i'm doing this christmas vacation. thank you, this is a horrible story, thank you for your insights on this. 11-year-old girl says she was forced to share a bed with a biological boy on a school trip.

>> laura: imagine you are a chaperon on a school trip, an overnight. you find out during the trip that she's being forced to share a bed with a biological male. yeah, that happened. serena doesn't have to imagine. her daughter called her in a panic from the bathroom of the hotel saying she didn't want to share a bed with a biological boy no matter how well they got along. joining me now serena. it is stunning you were on this trip as a chaperon, thank god you were there. in another room, what happened when you asked for your 11-year-old daughter to move

rooms? >> thank you for having us on and sharing our story. my 11-year-old daughter and myself on a cross-country trip to philly and d.c. and first night our daughter discovered she was assigned to share a bed with a boy who identifies as a girl. we love our principal, school and teachers, woo don't love the district policy that doesn't allow all students to feel secure and protected and doesn't allow parents to protect their children and guide them the best way they see fit. that is lacking on this trip. >> laura: your wife is nicer than i would be. most people are nice people. your daughter is going to be in a bed with a boy. this is when your wife is on the trip, the facts of mind-blowing, i can't believe them.

joe, at this point, did you consider pulling your daughter out of the trip and saying, we're out of here. you were not there, i would have hit the road and probably moved schools, but that is just me. >> that was my first reaction, we didn't want to take trip away from our daughter, she didn't do anything wrong, we wanted her to enjoy the trip. >> laura: i understand that. you are an attorney and these parents are trying to balance a normal experience for their daughter and this district policy, everyone is equal, no one different, what do you do? >> you do what they did, call and stand up for their daughter. what we're asking the school to do is tell parents what the policy is, one, and two, allow parents to opt their child out

if they find out their 11-year-old daughter will be sleeping in the same bed with a boy. >> laura: why do you have to opt out, this should not be a question at all. >> i agree with that. school is going to have this policy, they should not be able to hide this information from inner pas. >> laura: they are hiding it, what happened when you asked to have your daughter move rooms, briefly what happened? >> we were able to do it, she and i were not able to discuss what happened with anybody else on the trip. we were told to hide it to protect all of the students on the trip. >> laura: what? wait a second, trying to control your freedom of expression, your daughter's expression and your concern? joe? your thoughts here? i guess you can't speak about

it. the ccp land, you can't speak the truths anymore. >> right. >> right, like you mentioned, i wasn't on the trip, i was at home with my other two children and our daughter called and told me what was going on. i called serena, and she confirmed the story and we started trying to figure out how to address the issue. we feel like it is a story that needs to be told. all kids deserve respect and privacy, it needs to be applied to all children, this is very one-sided. >> laura: alliance defending freedom, thank you for doing what you do. that is it for us tonight. i get hot-headed about this stuff, it is america now and forever. jesse is next. >> todd: a fox news alert, a male suspect in police custody after going on a
