red and blue and conservative liberal and a republican democrat, you would hope for the safety and security of the children of world that they would not hate him like they do. let not your heart be troubled, laura ingraham is next. laura? >> laura: a great show from vietnam, we will be watching thursday night and i'm glad you got a helmet for your moped. >> sean: it was lot of moped it, it was a scooter. it's big when it was everyone is favorable of you writing in from all, long island to the studio every day with a camera following. >> sean: wait a minute. lasting. if i wore a helmet, i would have been brutalized more than i already am. >> laura: if the only better thing would have been if you were vague being with a helmet, that would have been good.

be safe and we will see you tomorrow. i'm laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from washington. president trump will make his first public appearance later on in the hour, but, we have live reports sometimes members of the media don't want to touch these but we will. these are poised to become flash points in the 2020 election. the less radical turn when it comes to life itself, plus, the push to racialized every segment of our cultural entertainment and political lives. tonight we will be joined by one of the most influential voices in american politics culture, shelby steele of the hoover institution, and a rare interview. what does he think when the 2020 democrat calls for reparations and his response to repeated charter comic charges that donald trump is just a racist?

well don't miss this. but first, the dark left evangelism. that's a focus for tonight's angle. with every passing day the democratic party reveals what it's your intentions are. though they claim to be the party of science and facts, the advocacy shows they are anything but. yesterday the senate voted on a bill that required the doctor to use all of the skills to preserve the life of a child. there were grizzly measure cob efforts in new york and elsewhere to leave the visually legalize. they specifically verbalized efforts. >> we had the case of the governor of virginia where he stated he would execute a baby

after birth to defend the dignity of every person, i'm asking congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion. >> there was essentially little to no response from the democrats in the room. stone-faced nancy just sat there. the senate attempted yesterday to do something about this democrat embrace of infanticide and hold doctors accountable. >> so my colleagues across the aisle need to decide where they will take their cues on these moral questions. on the one hand, there are a few extreme voices that have decided that some newborn lives are disposable more than others. on the other side is the entire rest of the country. >> i want to ask each and every one of my colleagues if we are okay with infanticide. this language is blunt, i recognize that, and it's too blunt for many people in this

body but frankly that's what we are talking about here today. >> laura: in the end, all but three democrats voted against permitting the bill to proceed, shameless. every one of the announced 2020 presidential democratic candidates voted no. senator's jell-o brand, booker, harris, globe char, warren and bernie sanders voted to support the wanton extermination of children already born. along with planned parenthood, they claim that the bill would limit reproductive rights and in the words of senator patty murray, -- >> it's a vote on yet under attack from our republicans colleagues on women's health and their right to access safe and legal abortion. this time in the form of an anti-doctor, antiwoman, antifamily piece of legislation. >> laura: nice try. family usually requires a child and infanticide usually requires

the taking of a child's life. she didn't mention that she and her party's opposition, we have a viable child that has been born. in what way is an antiwoman or antifamily to protect the life of that child. it's craziness. now the president correctly summarize the vote in a pair of tweets yesterday. the democrat position on abortion is no so extreme that they don't mind executing babies after birth. this will be remembered as one of the most shocking votes in the history of congress. but my friends, once a party embraces this nihilism, this dark tradition and treating abortion like a sacrament, all reason goes out the window. their unwavering defense of abortion on demand, even if it leads to infanticide or -- let's

say the embrace of other issues like gender fluidity. even if that leads to rank unfairness, we will get to that issue later on in the show. if it came to a secular sharia law among the left, you deviate from what the social justice warriors stipulate today and they will decapitate you in the workplace and in school if they have your way. these people are fanatics, zealots, hell-bent on a complete upending of the social order, and upending of everything that embodies or even comes close to embodying gloria steinem was on "the today show" promoting a book of old essays, one in particular written in the 1980s suggesting that the republican parties and hitler's abuse had a lot in common. >> on an more serious vote to

put it mildly, he campaigned against abortion. he padlocked the family planning clinic. >> well i'm afraid gloria is getting a bit dodgy in her old age. she's essentially arguing that in order to save humanity, you have to kill off more humans. notice how steinem practices the art of self protection? hitler just like planned parenthood practiced and did a market defended mass extermination all in the name of racial purity. margaret sanger believed deeply in eugenics. check out this article from 1926 about singers advocacy for birth control clinics. she said, we want a world freer,

happier and cleaner. we want a race of thoroughbreds. it shouldn't surprise you that langer established her first full-service clinic in harlem in 1930. why harlem? as the washington times explains, that's where a lot of the black people she often referred to as human weeds lived. sanger described it as an experiment to a clinic with the benefit of colored people. it's about the need to use the cover of ministers to set up these clinics. she wrote to him, the most successful educational approach to the population is through a religious appeal. and that's a minister who can straighten out that idea if it

should occur to the more rebellious members. can you believe that was writte written? the left has this insatiable appetite for this culture, which by the way reminds me of another baby story. ♪ what have you done to it? what have you done to its eyes? >> eight has its father's eyes. >> what have you done to you it, you maniac? >> laura: at the left dogmatic adherence to their dark domicile means it will never develop this undeniable racist, or purge her from their history. they even named a street after sanger. it's called margaret sanger way.

and it's not just the old war horses of the left preaching the steadily created, the young upstarts have joined the conversation, even when cooking alone in an empty apartment. >> the scientific consensus that is that having children can be very difficult and it leads young people to have a legitimate question, is it okay to still have children? >> laura: the lives of children will be very difficult. sure are, if they are born. it's called the eventual human, professor. people who claim to be concerned about being on the right side of history, they seem to be running in the opposite direction. nbc reported on millennials who just say note to babies. they did it last month. >> i think they had a lot of other aspirations in mind. babies are a lot of work and i wasn't really willing to take on

half that work. >> laura: well, there's no repercussion for that type of thinking, right? >> some say it puts our country in jeopardy of not having a strong enough workforce in the years to come. another possible impact, we risk having fewer people to help care for the nation's growing elderly population. >> laura: but who cares about them? not sure margaret sanger would care much about them because they are disposable as well. those old people will have robots to feed them by then, right? come on, there is some sunshine in the forecast. a new marist poll finds that after a 17-point gap last month americans are now just as likely to identify as pro-life, as pro-choice. and democrats are where the movement is happening. last month, 20% of democrats claim to be pro-life and this month that number is up to 34%, massive increase. and americans are overwhelmingly believing that third trimester

abortion should be outlawed. 71-25%. the poor people in the 25%, we will pray for them. the left, blinded by their dogmatic attacks into abortion can't see that americans don't want what they are selling. if aoc wanted to be edgy, should couple her love of creation of all things green with a love of life and defending the most defenseless. and that is the angle. here now, dinesh desousa, conservative author and filmmaker and kelly heineman, a social justice attorney. dinesh, let's start with you. there's something strange going on with today's democrats because one of their radical members propose something that some people think is absolutely insane, and yet then they all rush in to behind it. in this state, it has their actual opinion. so what's going on here? >> dinesh: well this may seem

like a radical turn in the democratic party but it's actually anchored in the deep history of progressivism and the early 20th century democrats. of course in the early 20th century it was abortion but, something they were fascinated by was, forced sterilization and the other was forced euthanasia. basically killing. margaret sanger for example was a champion of the sterilization side, and she was -- the euthanasia program of 1935 was also directly lifted from blueprints supplied by american progressives. this is the actual and it's kind of papered over by progressive historiography but it's all coming back in a nightmares fashion. >> laura: looking at the results of this most recent poll, it is without a doubt

influenced by this infanticide debate. as a social justice attorney, how do you view this change, even among democrats, on the issue of abortion? >> first off, thank you for having me on your show, it's great to be here. first we have to focus on what the issue is and we must look at it from the standpoint of unwanted pregnancies and how we prevent that. the best way to avoid that, and what we need to do to help people and advise them of the problems that they have. >> laura: i get that, kelly, but let's stay focused very specifically on what we are talking about here. we're not talking about counseling people on birth control, we are talking about infants who are actually born in the u.s. congress can't get itself together to protect an

infant that is born alive? it is a person and the person is living. and now the democratic party has gotten so -- just totally smothered by this abortion deal, that they can't even see the lack of basic humanity in that moment. how do we get there and how did we get past this? i don't care if it's bad for the democrat. these are people, including girls, little girls. teen pregnancies are going down. this is a problem. this is it when the embraces infanticide and i can't imagine that you do. do you buy into this? >> kelly: i understand with regard to the legislation that

was proposed, there were books on the law to handle the situation and my understanding is that there hasn't been a situation that occurred like this. there have been people born alive after botched abortions and we will talk to abby johnson, of the former planned parenthood clinic director who will talk about that in just a moment. but again, we are talking about -- we are not talking about first trimester abortions, or even second trimester. we are talking about a child born alive. this was not about what it was supposed to be. hillary nodded her head during that debate when donald trump said, you want to rip the baby up after the baby is viable? and she physically said no no no. but yes yes yes, apparently. >> dinesh: .

back in the 70s the feminist said the is an uninvited guest. this is a long debate because as long as a fetus is considered an extension of the woman's body, the argument is the woman should have every right to dispose of it as she sees fit. but even in roe v. wade, this issue of viability, the argument shift at the moment that the fetus can live outside the womb. of course, the fetuses still depended on the mother but a 2-year-old is also dependent on the mother cell viability was a critical reasoning pivot of the early abortion decisions and it seems like that has gone out the window and at the basic idea now is that even if the fetus is viable outside of the womb, if we feel like killing it, we should be able to do that. >> laura: kelly, final words? >> kelly: i think we need to come with a resolution and i think it's important. at the way to think about it is, when we think about a resolution, what is the way to

deal with this how do we resolve that and what do we need to do to fix that? >> laura: i understand what you're saying but there are a lot of people that are desperate to adopt children. there are so many people out there who love to take these babies and raise the children and just on the infanticide question, we have to be better than this. but i'm really glad that both of you came on. thank you so much. >> there's one thing that experts agree on, but at this stage, the fetus can't feel anything. >> sorry to bother you but they need an extra person in the back room. are you free? >> laura: that was a scene from "unplanned," a film about clinic director turn pro activists, abby johnson.

abby, when you worked at planned parenthood, did you ever think that pro-choice advocates would eventually line up behind infanticide? >> abby: you know, honestly i have to say that i didn't. there were a few people, they thought that late-term abortion was acceptable. she thought it was perfectly acceptable to allow the baby to suffocate or delivery suffocate the baby after the baby was born alive. but most people, most people who say that they are pro-choice and do have some sort of line in the sand. where they say, okay, that's too far. that's too much. for most people who are pro-choice, that line is viability. >> laura: dinesh just said

that but that's out the window. after this vote on the hill and after what we saw with north rome and now vermont and rhode island, whether it successful right now and new york rubbed over the precipice. >> abby: 20, 30, 40 years ago people were ignorant, but it was also innocent to believe that we were just dealing with a clump of cells or a massive tissue. now we have dna testing, ultrasound technology that shows us that this is a human being. this is a child that is alive in the womb and we haven't really really -- we have reached a new low level of depravity in our country.

people know to say, i know it's a human being, i know it's alive and i know it has a beating heart, i know it feels pain and i'm still willing to kill it. >> laura: well mother theresa warned us against this decades ago and now with technology and everything else we know, it's breathtaking. "unplanned" was given an r rating, but girls under the age of 17 can get abortions without the consent of their parents. so think about that for a momen moment. "unplanned" will be out shortly. the latest gambit might take the cake. race bait preparations for slavery. you knew we were coming to it. what is one of the most

prominent in the country think of that? we will be back. this is jc... (team member) welcome to wells fargo, how may i help?

one of their fringe members propose something really radical, and then they all rush into support it in an effort to boost their own radical bona fide. from the new deal to medicare for all and now we are onto reparations. >> people aren't starting out on the same base in terms of their ability to succeed. so we have got to recognize that and give people a lift up. >> so you are for some type of -- >> yes i am. >> i have long believed that this country should resolve its original original sin of slavery. >> laura: we are pleased to be joined tonight by conservative author, filmmaker and fellow at the hoosier institution, shall be steel. we have so much to get into

tonight. i want to start with this reparations push. we just got through infanticide with a former planned parenthood clinic worker and now it looks like one after the other, they are going to come out for some type of reparations to "resolve" the issue of slavery. what's going on here? >> well i like the word, resolv resolve. it's unimaginable to me that you would have the bravery to think you could resolve slavery. it's holding onto an idea of justice. not only is it impossible but it's self-defeating. you continue to see yourself as a victim, waiting so long in

life to be resurrected by the significance of the largest society, by white guilt. once again, you put your faith in the hands of other people, rather than yourself. i would like very much to think that i have the self-esteem and dignity to reject even the most lavish reparations. i have too much racial pride to consider such a thing. keep your reparations. i will fight like every other man in the world, every other person in the world, to get ahead and make progress. but to cling to this idea is shameful. >> let's talk about why -- everything from the oscars to college campuses, that we have

arrived at this place. and this is 50 years after the civil rights act, all sorts of progress made. we have black ceos, multimillionaires, top universities and every aspect of life, we have seen great progress. yet we are at a point where it's almost like there was no progress, there is no progress, and now white privilege will be the rubric of the moment. we had this privilege issue percolating but now it's really taken root. what do both white people and black people do when they are stuck in this conversation? it doesn't seem to go anywhere positive. >> shelby: well, that's right. it's cyclical. there is no way out of it. this is the term i've dealt with

a lot and it's white guilt. white guilt is not the feeling of guilt, it's acting guiltily because you are terrorized by being seen as a racist. being seen as a racist in american life is a terrible thing. it's a ruminants to your career and your life. so whites are hungry for a way to prove that they are innocent of racism. and this is where the trouble begins. 60 years now at the federal government and institutions across society, bending over backwards and supposedly dealing with the problem of race and inequality and so forth. that's a regulation t response

and that liberalism will redeem us from that. the problem with that is you sealed up thunder of the people you are trying to help, you cut them off from the human part of themselves that wants to aspire, that wants to make a life no matter what. the part that is fearless and wants to engage the world. so to satisfy this guilt, this larger society, you end up facilitating weakness in the very people we are trying to help. it gets weaker and weaker. >> it takes away that drive, that initiative that i think we all neatly have to improve ourselves regardless of where we are in life or even where we came from. we want to get a response to the entire trip that we have seen, and it has reared its head

again. two separate occasions just in the past 24 hours. watch. >> when you talk about his statement on that, when you talk about him calling his african countries s-whole countries, i don't think you can reach any other conclusion. >> said he would definitely agree he's a racist? >> i do. >> i don't think the residency sees us as having agency, intelligence, as noted by his comment about spike. always some subtle suggestions that black people need to catch up. >> your reaction to that, shelb shelby? >> shelby: i think this is part of the politics of the left. liberalism has to have a menace to fight against.

they don't have many real problems to work with today. we don't have the racism that we used to have for example. what came along is a kind of gift to them, and he is an enemy of civilization itself and we have to rally against him. so trump in that sense is the new racism. he justifies -- without trump, what do they have to fight against? racism has been pretty much nullified. >> they don't believe that. you listen to the spike lee at the oscars, and -- they might believe that, when they walk around the world up and down the

streets, you can go and be anywhere you want to be. when you say that trump is a racist, that's retrograde. that was yesterday, not today. and you are not helping, the problem is, we have as people who were oppressed for three and a half centuries, we don't yet know how to deal with freedom. freedom is far more of a problem in minority communities today than racism. racism is -- we are calling back this old problem of racism to hide from our new problem of freedom. that's what -- we don't have a history of that. we had to deal with everything, but not that.

>> laura: shelby -- i could talk to you for an hour. i hope everyone in the country is listening to this right now. we've talked a lot about on thw about solutions, i'll people can get ahead in their lives, you are giving us some common sense ideas about how to think about the challenges. jussie smollett, this could have resulted in blocks being burned down in chicago. then it's found out to be a hoax, and, ucla shelby, not too far down the coast from you. students were actually saying, we still believe jussie. that's how bad things have gotten. shelby, thank you so much for

joining us. you don't do tv often and we really hope you will come back. just fascinating, thank you so much. live in hanoi, vietnam, which president trump is set to make his first appearance ahead of his second summit with kim jong un. any moment, we will take you there as soon as the president emerges claritin-d relieves more. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

each. and at the acting chief of staf staff, mick mulvaney. they will have time to break the ice. that's the same hotel as kim jong un, several members of the white house press corps i should say, including myself. we don't have any visibility into what his schedule is like, and, that's about it. as for president trump, we should see him very soon for the first time, arriving at the presidential palace where he will meet with the president and sign a commercial trade agreement. president trump said vietnam is thriving like few places on earth, and north korea would be the same and very quickly if it were to do nuclear eyes. it's a great opportunity, like almost none other in history for

my friend at kim jong un. so that is the president's pitch in a nutshell. if you commit to denuclearization, then your country could enjoy the same kind of prosperity. >> thank you, very much. we are expecting the president to arrive at the vietnamese presidential palace any moment. we will take you back to vietnam and ed henry with some exclusive photos as soon as he does. also tonight, an update to a story we brought you last month about two transgender girls competing in high school track in connecticut. on february 16, they took first and second place in the state open indoor woman's track championship. even though they are biological males. today they identify as girls. one of the girls finished in

that race finished in eighth place missing out on the chance to compete in front of college coaches by two spots. she said it's about competing versus miller and yearwood. she said it, we all know the outcome of the race before it even starts. it's demoralizing. well here now herself, selling us a lard. you go to glastonbury high school where i went to high school and it was a decent athlete myself in the day. but you say, you are happy for the competitors who beat you out, but that shouldn't be done in sports, because of just the basic unfairness of all of this? tell us about this. >> i'm very happy for these athletes and i fully support them for being true to themselves and having the courage to do what they believe in. but in athletics, it's an entirely different situation. it's proven that males are physically stronger than females and it's unfair to put someone

who isn't biologically a male who has not undergone any thing in of hormone therapy against the system under girls. >> laura: i think you are being politically correct, which is fine and great, you are a high school student and you should be. but you're an athlete. and i was -- i played field hockey, softball and basketball and i know how hard it is to compete at that level because they are a very strong conference. whatever happens -- what happens to every sport? what happens to field hockey when the soccer players start to play? what happens to girls basketball, what happens with girls volleyball? what happens with tennis? martina said basically, it's going to completely change competition and unfair way to girls. and i don't think you can get anyone who is more pro-equality

to people identifying as different things, and she is and she's now being trashed for just saying that. so what are other members of your team saying for this? >> my teammates and my fellow competitors, we are happy for these athletes of course but we do think it is unfair. for us, it is upsetting when we work hard all season and put in a lot of effort only to turn up at the state meets and to get beat by someone who is biologically male and lose state championships. >> laura: what was the video will make a difference in the time between the top two transgender athletes and the biological girl athletes, number three? third-place? what was the difference in time? >> first place was 695, second place was seven oh one and third-place which is the first biological female was i believe

723. >> so it's a decent difference. so that's the difference, mail and biological traits differ. in case you don't know, females are on average 9% shorter than males. male bones are bigger in both size and density in females have shorter arms and legs relative to body size. females are around 35% muscle by weight while males are 40 or 50%. females ligaments are thinner and softer than males. the internal organs of men tend to be bigger and broader, more capable of taking in oxygen, shoulder size -- no matter if you are taking hormones are not taking hormones, the structure of the anatomy is different. period. and you are not going to see a lot of girls winning first, second or third if discontinuous. however people want to identify, that's fine. but what about next year's female athletes on the track

team? when they want to go for college scholarships, what happens to them? >> so the juniors right now who are applying for colleges, it can provide a major issue because in connecticut, you don't have to write on the meat results that one athlete is transgender. it's just all in the boys category or the girls category. so if a college coach looks at the results in the state meets, they see the wide margins between first and/or second place and the rest of the places will see that there is a wide margin of time and they will say, why are the rest of these girls running as fast as these two? >> laura: they actually commented on television briefly, they were asked about, wouldn't they think this was unfair at the table was reversed? let's watch. >> i'm not going to discourage you or try to say, it's not fai

fair, it's supposed to be the one faster. >> i'm happy for them because i get to do what they want. they are happy and that should in turn make me happy. >> laura: any final thoughts, really quick? >> it's very frustrating, because i know i have put in and some of my friends and fellow competitors have put in so much effort to take down our times and compete better but we are not physically able to be competitive against someone that is biologically a male. >> laura: no, you are not. get your parents involved. you are in glastonbury which is a liberal town, but you have great athletics, a great school. get involved, it's about fairness. not demonizing demonization ab. take you for having the courage to come on tonight and we hope other teammates have the courage to speak out. we will take you there live as soon as it happens.

one is comprehensive background checks and the other is closing the charleston loophole which allowed the shooter in that tragic case to be able to get a gun that he was not entitled to. >> laura: tomorrow, how stems will bring to gun-control bills to the floor but will these background checks actually protect law-abiding citizens or will it just make it harder for them to obtain firearms? congressman steve scalise knows a lot about these issues and these two bills. the house and judiciary committee blocked him from testifying at a hearing on gun violence and he is here to react. what do you think? >> first of all what these bills will do is they will make criminals out of law-abiding citizens. either the background check is already in place. if you have a gun and you want to loan it to a friend, because

she was beaten up by her boyfriend or she has a tro against her boyfriend and she's afraid he's going to come back and hurt her, he she says, can i borrow your gun? if you give her the gun and she goes back to her house you are now a felon. we tried to take that out by the way and the democrats blocked that amendment. by the way, we tried to bring an amendment to say, if the legal alien tries to buy a gun and goes through the background check system, and now he's tried to illegally buy a gun in violation of federal law, notify ice so that he can be deported. a law-abiding citizen will go to jail and be a felon and a legal person can be turned over to i.c.e. on the democrat bill. >> laura: after they think this gun issue will work for

them? they take a step forward and a step back. usually they are in places, people kind of move on which i guess could be a bad thing. but people generally think, be tough on crime, be tough on criminals and make it hard for a truly mentally unstable crimina criminal. >> and what's that about this is they hide behind some of these tragedies, like parkland. take the baseball shooting, their bill would not have done anything to stop these tragedies. las vegas, their bill wouldn't have done anything. what it would do is make criminals out of law-abiding citizens. if you go hunting with a friend and your friend wants to borrow your rifle, you better bring your attorney with you because depending on what you do with that gun, you might be a felon if you loan it to him. let's say he wants to go scope it out the range before he goes
