tv   The Ingraham Angle  FOX News  May 27, 2020 11:00pm-12:00am PDT

11:00 pm
be done by the law and vice enforcement. the president sends his condolences to george's family and friends and justice will be served. let not your heart be troubled. although, laura ingraham, i mean... six plus minutes put on the neck. i cannot comprehend this. no resistance that i saw. >> laura: yeah. it's another bad night in a beautiful city in america where there are losses of lives and a lot of questions. there will be a thorough investigation. not only done, i certainly hope so, by s the minneapolis, st. pl police authorities but by the federal government and the civil rights authorities. we don't want mob justice. it will be justice done by the books. and thorough. and fair. it certainly looksho bad. i think you brought a lot of that to light. i'm glad mike tobin is going to join us this hour as well, sean.
11:01 pm
>> sean: all right. as always, have a great show. our thoughts and prayers are with this man's family, the community, people there. everyone, please stay safe. justice should be served. >> laura: we'll see yoube tomorrow night. much. so i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" in a busy washington t tonight. we are keeping our eyes on minneapolis, minnesota, where protest of the killing of a black man by a white officer has turned to riots and even looting. latestin on that. we'll have a live report later on in the hour. also, twitter is arbitrary fact-check of president trump. not only did it open the social media giant up to criticism, but now legislation. senator josh hawley is here with breaking news on what he's now proposing. and he's here with a full recap plus did the former vp let something slip or rip?
11:02 pm
he'll explain. but first, a land of risk takers. that's the focus of tonight's angle. all of us in the when itd was scrap to scrapped due to storms in the area. they rescheduled for saturday afternoon. when they will make a new set of risk calculations before takeoff is attempted again. this got me thinking about risk assessment that we all make every day. decisions big and small that have enormous consequences on our health, our well-being, our inner sense of harmony, our finances. walking out of the house every morning instantly exposes us to risks. stepping into a vehicle. buying a stock. even ordering at a restaurant. all involve a certain level of risk.
11:03 pm
ntwhen you think about it, if we never take risks, we never move beyond ther status quo. we never innovate, we never improve, we never learn, we never grow. while the coronavirus is novel, our approach to it, like our approach to every challenge, also includes risks. letting citizens make their own decisions, determine their own destinies? that's the hallmark of a free society. yet time and again, the left has chosen to limit personal choices to whether you can buy a firearm, whether you can educate your own children at home, to the type of car you drive. to your rights to speak freely on social media. other than pushing for the right for abortion or may be marijuana, may be liberals today have become very ill liberal. and their argument against you exercising your own free will are the same.
11:04 pm
you claim you are putting yourself and others at risk. and then they use scare tactics and sometimes skew statistics to push their agendas from gun control to climate change. and rather than passing actual legislation, they'll often do this through emergency decrees or other executive action. this has been the pattern of blue state governors and radical mayors during covid-19. they simply don't trust their own citizens. they seemed to relish punishing them. >> a political rally like that where people are wearing masks, they are in close, not touching each other, you know that's precisely what makes this kind of a disease that drags out. actually think about extending the stay the stay-at-home orders.. >> laura: and she did extend the stay-at-home order. also andrew cuomo, he needlessly
11:05 pm
pushed for this complex plan called new york forward. it requires only sevenen metrics to get to phase one of reopening, if you can believe it. this as the city is literally and figuratively dying, mayor de blasioer still had no detailed plan to reopen new york city restaurants andr bars. >> so we are going to figure out how and when we can reopen bars and restaurants, how much outdoors are going to play a crucial role in that. i think it's a great very encouraging possibility to lean in to outdoors. even with that we've got lots to figure out in terms of social distancing, face coverings, protocols, and the capacity that can make it work while. >> laura: they still haven't thought this through? i trust any restaurant
11:06 pm
restaurant notice how none of the rules that these governors are mayors ever apply? that of latest fraud new mexico governor is michelleo' lujan grisham. has learned that when she ordered nonessential businesses to shut down and lectured all new mexicans to stay home, and nonessential business opened up so she could buy jewelry and have it delivered to her. again, rules for thee, but not for me. defending her conduct by saying the store was never opened and a good, safe process was followed. the governor has, of course, in her personal and professional lives adhere to all public health measure is the state enacted during the duration of the pandemic. she's on the short-list of
11:07 pm
biden's potential vp picks, by the way. far away in hawaii, a state with only, i kid you not, again, one of too many, but 1 of 17 cobra deaths. governor david dickey, is that how you pronounce it? it doesn't trust people -- he hasn't finalized a plan to end his stupid interisland quarantine. i was saying this earlier, the aloha state is going to say aloha, as in goodbye, to any hope of recovery if it doesn't wake up soon. not saying the coronavirus should be taken seriously, we taken very seriously seriously. the human toll of economic call, passing 100,000 deaths, it's just heartbreaking. the enormity of it, it's sometimes hard to even take in. what we are saying is the states that have given more trust to their own citizens are doing
11:08 pm
better than the states who treat their citizens like schoolchildren. we believe that pastors at the local church are going to do i think their best to balance their duty to god with the duty they have through the safety of their congregation. we believe that local, high school football coaches, are going to balance their duty to the school with the duty of their players in preserving their health. we believe that local restaurants restaurant with their duty to keepre customers and workers as safe as possible. if they slip up, that's where the free market comes in. they will either be sued, they'll go out of business, or both. some elected officials never liked the free market too much, they deploy preferred to keep you deplorable's blocked down and afraid that they want you masks not during just as a virus
quote
11:09 pm
but all time here there'll be another potential virus lurkingt around the corner. don't you want to protect others? whatonan kind of monster are yof you don't wear a mask forever? they talk about unity in crisis. well, they turned neighbor against neighbor, reporting on each other for violations. for the truth is, they don't believe in their own rules. if virginia governor ralph northam was really convinced that wearing masks would save lives, he would've won a mask at the beach last weekend. and if illinois governor j.b. pritzker really thought the lockdown measures were so great inj. his state, he wouldn't let his family travel and risk their lives to go to florida and wisconsin. and if michigan's governor gretchen whitmer reallyf thougt traveling up north was going to put folks inin jeopardy there, r hubby wouldn't have traveled there to take the boat out of
11:10 pm
storage. but all of these pro-lockdown governors were willing to take risks they deprived their own citizens from taking. but the risks are being taken anyway. what am i talking about? investors today continue to bet on actual money on the great american comeback. think about it, they are not betting the more lockdowns, they are betting on recovery. the world is moving on. you read it, feel it, sense it. i understand the medical establish rent doesn't want us to move on. the media, they don't want us to move on and liberals do not want us to move on. but we are. we are moving on. wear may not take and have all e talent of elon musk, but no one should deprive us of our own rights to launch our own dream, raise our own family, build our own businesses, and worship god
11:11 pm
as we always have. and that's the angle. on the topic of mask mandates, my next guest wrote an interesting piece in "the federalist" exposing what's really going on. she said for those looking to benefit politically, mandatory masking policies against american liberty. now and in the future. joining me now is molly mccan mccann, if americans submit to wearing masks, even in areas that had very few covid deaths in comparison to other places, what other rights and freedoms can be taken," and the mask mandates become like tsa, permanent? >> thank you for having me on. absolutely, what we do know is it'll push americans to a mental
11:12 pm
point where we sort of submitted to the idea that life will never be the same. from there, we could have all sorts of coalbed contact tracing o is one of the things that spring to my mind, but there o are all sorts of different regulations that i could imagine coming in simply other this "you are in danger and the government is going to help you." >> laura: if you think about it there's always another virus around the corner. another bad flu season, we've always had a flu season this year but it didn't get talked about that much. 1968, during the terrible flu pandemic, you just get the sen sense, what they need to move forward, not that there is no benefit from it, but this is just a symbol as these things keep getting better with the numbers. >> absolutely and we've already seen that they are using it to
11:13 pm
extend and perpetuate the idea innd this emergency, the emergey power to legislate, to rule by fiat, so we've already seen it lrpoliticized in virginia and other states, you can see it in the future and other perspectives, bees that liberals believe such as gold will warning that can reach this overreach. >> laura: dr. fauci's views on masks have changed the last few months. >> there's no reason to be walking around with a mask you're wearing a mask might make people feel little better, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. people don't fully appreciate is that putting a mask on yourself is more to prevent you from infecting someone else. i wear it for the reason that i believe it is effective. i want to protect myself and
11:14 pm
protect others. also because i want to make it a symbol for people to see. >> laura: a couple of things. started off at them and doesn't really have an effect. ends up today saying that it protects him, a couple of weeks ago, it was in protecting the individual wearingpl it, it's fr others. and it's a symbol. biden said it's a sign of respect. gone from not having any effect to now it's a symbol, and it shows respect, and it protects you both ways. i thought only a n95 protected due both ways, but i'm not a doctor. >> absolutely, we are seeing with a shift, it's now a really necessary tool to protect us. but i think that really is the intention they are, to shift the national mood. you hear strategists talk about the nation isn't ready for it, or conversely the nation is ready for it. the left really does have to shift a very independent spirit of americans. they have to shifted to the
11:15 pm
point where we are willing to accept further regulation. i think fauci has jumped on the training and understands what the goal of the masks are and they certainly are not health related. >> laura: i saw a sign at one of the events, one of theat protests. "subjugation? or science?" that got me thinking. thank you for the peace, thought provoking. last month,t- new york governor andrew palma was widely condemned for giving nursing homes community for covid related lawsuits. it's clear that why he made the sleazy move. the guardian reporting that cuomo gave community after big campaign donations onto $.3 million, to be exact. despite this largess, cuomo is blaming nursing homes for the thousands of deaths among seniors. >> the obligations was on to say i can't take a covid positive
11:16 pm
person. i don't have enough ppe. whatever the answer is. doesn't matter. if they said i can't take the person, they can't take the person. >> laura: they wouldn't have been slapped with a fine or citation, i'm sure, governor cuomo. they were following his polici policies. not only did you order nursing homes to take the covid pays the positive patients, you also you won'tfind the order on the e health apartment website anymore. proof. it's gone. formal had a text of the original nursing home mandate wiped from the site. joining me now senior fellow and constitutional scholar. you say that nursing homes should have immunity because they were following state mandate, how can they actually do that now?
11:17 pm
>> two things. i do think they should have immunity when they took someone who was covid positive because of governor cuomo's orders. here's whatrd it said, no residt shall be denied readmission to the nursing home solely based on the confirmed or suspected diagnosis of covid. meaning it was illegal under his order to deny somebody who was between us is positive. there was nothing here of them able to opt out of that if they don't think they are ready. that was ac/dc guideline but it's not governor cuomo's order. but the it's anything that's touching on or related or might somehow be connected to covid. if they have one person down the hall, and it requires the shifting of staff resources and negligent and kill somebody else in the main wing, they are immune. i think they ought to not have immunity or from that ato all. broad immunity for any
11:18 pm
negligence whatsoever. remember, on top of that, this all going on when contrary to cdc recommendations banding family members from coming and visiting, even people who are dying. this compassionate ban on home family visitors. what are family visitors most able to do? tos be able to spot check on whether there is negligent care being provided. so they are using this covid excuse to get formal off the hook for this ridiculous order but provide broader community for any negligent conduct they take in a nursing home whatsoever. >> laura: everybody seems off the hook and somebody has to be held accountable. i want to ask you, getting back to this mask mandate. as a constitutional scholar, is there any recourse for individual citizens in any part of the country who don't feel comfortable wearing a mask.
11:19 pm
i know they could be aif symptomatically, that's what's always sad. that goes forever. you could always be asymptomatic for something, correct? what can they do, individual citizens, or groups of individuals, to challenge these mask mandates and the public shaming obviously going along with all this. >> my daughter had a great response when somebody tried to public shame her in a target today. "i already have the antibodies. don't worry." i think people need to fight back. the principal being established here would allow them to prohibit you from getting in your car, because people die in car accidents. everything we do in life has some risks, and if any risk, it's going to allow the government to alter your behavior to deal with that risk. we know longer live in a free society. the courts can stand back when there is an emergency and people don't know what's going on.
11:20 pm
and defer to the edex coming out of the government. as the dust settles and we know the masks aren't doing any good, that it's more a symbol, as dr dr. fauci said, the court is going to say that you don't have any which admit basis for continuing those mandates. it's gone. >> laura: in other words, harmeet said last night, its compelling speech, in a way. your compelling someone to symbolically speak with that wearing of the mask. >> we are compelling people that i'm a sheep and i will do whatever the government tells me to do. >> laura: john, great to see you tonight. >> good to see you too. >> laura: protests in minnesota tonight of a killing of a black man by a white police officer turning to riots. mike tobin has a lab report on the ground in moments. also i have a question and it's not meant to disparage him, has anthony fauci been treating
11:21 pm
anybody or treated anybody with covid-19? he's developed a curious disdain for hydroxychloroquine without controlled randomized trials but my medicine cabinet is here with their reaction in moments.

>> laura: rioting and looting in minneapolis tonight as thousands take the street to protest the death of george loyd, a black man who died earlier this week after being handcuffed and pinned to the ground with an officer's need to the neck. the lives we go live to mike tobin who is on the ground tonight, what can you tell us. >> we are backing up because the
11:26 pm
demonstrators just set the autozone on fire. when this is telling me that the fire was that by a fireworks and i can tell you that one of the things i saw was somebody ran up there with a fire asked her and tried to put it out, and they pelting him with bottles and other kinds of garbage. some of the people who are clearly very angry. things being thrown at the police, the police are responding with nonlethal weaponry. in fact, a rubber bullet just like this one, they are responding with a flash grenade. you've got a lot of angry people here, saying they are so sick and tired for despite what has happened, they feel like the wheels of justice on turning fast enough and they don't trust the people involved. laura? >> laura: you've got to stay safe out there. thank you for that report. the situation on the ground is not good. we hope we get to the bottom of that real soon. and that the justice department
11:27 pm
doing their own investigation and we will find out the results of that as soon as it gets done. we are going to move onto another topic because this is also important, affecting all americans. dr. fauci as you know has never been a fan of hydroxychloroquine. but now he is teaming up with the and an to disparage this potentially life-saving drug. watch. >> the scientific data is quite evident now about the lack of efficacy and even the possibility that there could be -- not could be, but the likelihood that on the certain circumstances it might be rare, but you see it, adverse events particularly with regard to cardiovascular and the arrhythmia associated with it. >> laura: joining me now is dr. steven smith, also with me is dr. ramin oskoui, cardiologist, ceo of vauxhall cardiology. dr. smith, you actually treat
11:28 pm
covert covid patients. been saying for weeks that we need randomized trials for hydroxy but why condemn the drug before the results are in? >> i can't speak to that, larra. good evening. i am sorry about going on in minnesota. i can't speak to that, obviously if the studies are ongoing, we should wait for the results. the data that show that hydroxychloroquine has an effect, our own data, our experience shows that the drugs we give have an effect. it can only be explained by therapeutic effect, meaning the patients got better, came off earlier, we see the effort coming off. every current disease after being very improved, the virus is negative, and all of those things come back. hypoxia, the increased ldh, these are all markers used.
11:29 pm
the virus came back. we put them back on the drug and they get better. that's effective, that's internal controls. i have no other explanation. natural history, the natural course of the disease, that's very tough to explain. these people came on with ventilators. >> laura: let's go to dr. oskoui. dr. oskoui, dr. smith is being very diplomatic. but dr. fauci came on this show and said we need controlled clinical trials, randomized studies before any statements could really be made. we had to proceed very carefully. what's going on here? what is happening? >> i think what's going on here are really two things for the first is overt ignorance of studies being done abroad. raoult the study in france showingprophylag home patients in south korea, i
11:30 pm
think what you're seeing is whether he means to or not, he's spiking these studies, by such negative input. the reality is that the article that was published last week was very poorly done. it was a conglomeration of data that did very little to parse patients. it was bad science. junk science. >> laura: i should say this and, dr. smith, you want to get in on this. a new study came up moments ago that showed significant outpatient benefit of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. my producer will tell me, it was a yale study? who was it? a yale university study. that just came out. we will bring you more details on that, but it just came out during this hour. so that's pretty interesting. i want to put up on the screen what professor raoult's study
11:31 pm
showed, he tweeted this out today. early diagnosis, early treatment, with at least three days of hcq and speak 25 resulted in significantly better outcome with patients with covid. he tweeted that out after dr. fauci's interview on cnn. is that consistent with what you found? >> entirely. based on his work, dr. raoult's work, that we adopted the combination therapy with a larger dose, that large dose of hydroxychloroquine in late march, we see much better benefit, a much clearer benefit in patients with both drugs and the higher dose of hydroxychloroquine. yes, our data agree with his. >> laura: dr. oskoui, we have france now saying that they are going to basically put out a warning about
11:32 pm
hydroxychloroquine, a medicine that's been around them and given to pregnant women, with lupus, with rheumatoid -- 60 years! >> i'm flagger >> i'm flabbergasted. i think what's also very important about what raoult has found and also the north well group in long island, when monitored carefully and closely, you can use this drug very safely with really no concern about cardiac risk. you just have to monitor them and make sure the electrolytes are well down. the study didn't even contain the cutie interval data, something very basic that all patients hospitalized routinely done with a baseline . many studies have shown that when used prudently, the drug is very, very safe in covid-19 patients and should be made available to doctors to use
11:33 pm
easily. >> laura: i will say this to close very quickly. dr. smith, if you could make a decision for the fda, would you resend that warning that they put out a few weeks back about hydroxychloroquine? >> of course. has to be one or the other pair they have to resend that warning or put warnings and give much, much more hydroxychloroquine in those subjects in the randomized improved trial. >> they have to. they have to resend 1 or the other. >> laura: thank you both. will have to bring you back on the mass question. great to see you about. coming up, all eyes on biden. today's town hall a revealing train wreck and included perhaps his most embarrassing stinker. raymond arroyo has it all on the seen and unseen next.

♪ >> laura: it's time for are seen and unseen segment where we reveal the real story behind the headlines. fox news contributor raymond arroyo who has another edition of joe down below. what happenedd today, ray, pray tell? >> joe biden held a basement town hall with pennsylvania governor tom wolf.d a wolf looked like he could use a booster seat here, but what became clear, he was a little lower in the frame, what became clear when things went on, biden couldn't quite organize his
11:39 pm
thoughts even when he tried to remember is those lost to covid. >> we hold every one of them and their families in our hearts. i don't know. i remember that we've all had losses. i remember -- i hope they find the strength. you've got to find strength and purpose. more than 38 million lives have been filling the unemployment lines as well. and the consequences, the health consequences for that... i mean, the mental health consequences for that -- >> we wanted to play it at some length. he should avoid talking about mental health but there is a way toal empathize her began. it seems he tried to read the prompt there and could formulate the thought. ild can tell you with conversations with democratic strategists i've had, they are concerned about the cognitive decline and how he'll hold hold
11:40 pm
up. he's getting some assistance in his ear at times. today it looked like he was having some trouble with the ear piece. he keptit fiddling at it, lookig off. and with stephen colbert, he was asked a question, the questioned prompted him to talk about vaccines. listen closely. >> if you are elected president of the united states, that'll be your responsibility and your administration's responsibility to distribute that. >> this ventriloquist act is not working, laura. >> laura: no. but this keeps happening. and i think, again, god bless him. i don't agree with him on pretty much anything, but at some point you do begin to feel bad for him. i mean... >> you don't want to feel bad for somebody who wants to leave the country. you need a leader who's in charge. not a poor man who needs help to get across the street or go lay
11:41 pm
ads wreath. this is troubling. >> laura: right, but we've got to move on. this is why nancy pelosi spoke today about how could anyone gather with 10,000 people in the convention given all these threats to people. they have to cancel the conventions, debates, and keep joe down below. tell us about biden's... well, a little bit of gas came out of theam can at one point. >> during the town hall today, biden let something split. listen very closely. i long set biden had trouble getting it out. he didn't have that problem today.ro >> the actual study is from -- f >> i know a lot of people, making sure... health care programs. worksht on roads and bridges.
11:42 pm
>> laura: that is flatulence... >> it may have been the most coherent thing biden said all year. here are my two thoughts. one is, this is his solution to energy independence, natural gas. or he's tipping his hand to his real running mate might be. eric swalwell. >> so far, the evidence is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask ukrainians to help them cheat -- [flatulence] >> maybe this is why biden was wearing the mask. >> laura: i will not say he's running out of gas, his campai campaign. what else? >> before we go, biden announced today that he'll choose his running mate by august 1st. people should be aware when they go to the voting booth, theya aren't electing a running mate which biden accidentally confessed to cnn. >> there is one under consideration andti women under
11:43 pm
consideration because there's a lot of really qualified women that are ready to be president. om>> "ready to be president," >> laura: 29. even in, his own mind he realizs how short the time between his inauguration and when he stepped aside could be. democrats talk openly about it. maybe he's only a one termer and that'll get home over the finish line. you think ends up being the running mate? >> i don't know. old klobuchar, may be but everybody in the running has made a big slip up with the covid handling. witless whitmer, or gresham in new mexico who had the store opened up so she could get her jewelry. theyhe are all having their own moments here. >> after that "you ain't black"
11:44 pm
comment, i don't know how he gets away from not appointing a black running mate. and stacy abrams, failed to give an aerial candidate, valca demings, police chief, and you got kamala harris, the worst ree criminal justice to form reform thananybody in the democ. this is a tough pick for joe. >> laura>> laura: wasn't unleadr leaded gas, ray? the twitter warning on the president's tweets, how can porter be held accountable? senator josh hawley unveils his new plan in moments.
11:45 pm
11:46 pm
11:47 pm
11:48 pm
>> laura: do you get the sensese that twitter didn't really think it through? i'm talking about the decision
11:49 pm
to hit one of president trump's tweets with an absurd fact-checked. it wasn't just that twitter was wrong on the merits. but it revealed the staggering hypocrisy of the supposed admission. not only are they attempting to editorialize and censor the president of the united states, they do so while allowing chinese propaganda accounts run free on their platform. today, the president responded warning that he would move to regulate social media platforms that try to silence conservative voices, and he plans to sign an executive order on the subject tomorrow. but even before that news, missouri senator josh hawley called on the government to revoke liability protections for social media companies which would drastically change how they are treated. senator hawley joins us exclusively tonight. senator, explain for our audience how your proposed action would affect these
11:50 pm
entities? >> it would just take away the special deal they currently get from the government. there is a reason that twitter, facebook, google have got so big, powerful, huge. it's not because of free-market competition. it's because of the lack of free-market competition-m becaue the government has given them a special deal that fox news t doesn't get, "the new york times" doesn't get them in the traditional publisher get, they are free from liability, free from suit. they get a special immunity. if they are going to act like regular publishers, if twitter is going to editorialize about the president of the united states they ought to be treated like a regular publisher and that's what my deal would do. >> laura: there seems to be some opposition within the social media world to that as mark zuckerberg spoke out today and he said, that's not what we do at facebook. does that give you a sense that, well, they got the message pretty quickly? you go down this road, it's going to be a rocky one for you?
11:51 pm
>> i think that zuckerberg is clearly quite eager to throw up twitter under the bus because zuckerberg doesn't want to lose immunities for facebook.rg they want to keep their special deal bit i'm surprised google isn't out there doing the same thing. problem is google has been censoring americans that have criticized the chinese communist party, so these guys do all this stuff. they got by on it, they pick on the president, twitter did this time. they are editorializing, they are censoring, they are making political adjustment judgments. they claim, we aren't like traditional media, we are neutral, we don't have opinions, we post other peoples opinions. it just isn't true, laura. it's time to start calling them out on it. >> laura: when you look at the head of "site integrity," it's called. when we looked in thell past, ts guy has a history of tweets that call trump a "racist tangerine"
