here. have a great night. [applause] ♪ ♪ >> laura: i am laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. two cities, two incidences of police officers ambushed making simple arrests. that's big news, so why haven't you heard about it? we will tell you in just a moment. also tonight, the seattle mayor and the media lead us to believe the residents and businesses inside of chop were happy. why are they now fleeing or suing the city? this is rich. and the woke mob takes down one of disney's classic attractions, no! and raymond arroyo has it all on a special thursday follies. but first, the kids still aren't all right and that's the focus of tonight's angle.

>> these children are the kite strings that lift our national ambitions aloft, and how we treat them is the major of what kind of decency and honor we have as a society. >> we also want that future to be better for our children, so this is all about the children. >> laura: for decades democrats have tried to convince women that they cared more about them and the children than the republicans care. it's tedious cliches and support for things like abortion and food stamps. meanwhile, republicans think women value things like i don't know, from economic prosperity, a good job into safe streets. but that's not all. mothers and fathers of course also greatly value education an, anyone who has or has had

children knows there is no substitute for interest in learning from teachers in an actual school with peers and actual curricular activities. >> the kids in my classroom are all laughing and talking and they are busy and there's movement and i've gotten that from a totally different thing where i'm an i.t. person looking at a screen all day. >> it's important to focus on safety but there is an essential business that has to get work done and we think educating our kids is essential. >> laura: thus, after three and a half months of distance learning, don't you hate that phrase? for millions of students, exhausted parents coast-to-coast and especially mothers are anxious about with the fall will bring for their children and themselves. as moms who work outside the home are beginning to head back into the office, they need to know that their sons and daughters will be heading back to school monday through friday. you know, like they did in the

pc era, precobit covid. in one of the most affluent suburbs of washington, d.c., the democrat-controlled school district made the shocking announcement that it's not going to be fully reopening the fall. instead families are given two options. enrolling their kids and 100% online classes four days per week or in person classes were just two days a week. twith the latter option kids wt would have to remain 6 feet apart at all times, daily health screenings and regular hand washing ands sanitizing. it's similar to a plan being put forward to the neighboring loudoun county virginia, under their wealthy county a controlld by democrats. we have a lot of those in thela d.c. area, i wonder why. now parents in both counties are rightfully outraged. one parent telling the local abc station, i also have seen the repercussions at home where they

were distancing. i saw depression. i saw them lose interest in life and i can't a sit by and watch that happen again. she is right. we can't let this happen again. we know the heavy toll this is taking on children's mental health. >> the vast majority of children are very, very low risk of any serious consequences of this disease. keeping kids out of school is causing enormous harm to them.il we know some studies now out of china that depression rates in kids who have been locked down or up to 20-30%. we know the children from low income families in particular or being homeschooled, if we are waiting for tilden to be immunized before they go back to school, we could be looking at two, three, or four years, that's an eternity. >> laura: now of course living in this area we are used to mistakes, and it would be a terrible, terrible shame.

if these two counties set an example for the rest of america. now i am sure the folks in fairfax county are claiming they are only doing these extreme measures because of the virus, for public health. but that is just absurd. there is no science that supports keeping kids especially those in the younger grades away from the classroom. npr reported yesterday that throughout the pandemic both the ymca and of the new york city education department kept child care centers open for the children of front-line workers. they collectively took care of tens of thousands of kids for months.el so guess how many covid outbreaks were linked to them staying open? zero.. f furthermore a survey by brown university economist found that just .16% of the 20,000 children

at 916 care centers across the county were covid positive. .16. the evidence for reopening our schools is overwhelming. elliott haskell, a policy expert with the robins foundation saying there are almost no recorded cases of child to adult transmission of covid-19. it's not a zero risk but we are acting with the march 2020 understanding of covid-19 and not with the 2020 -- june 2020 understanding. let's see how the europeans are handling this decision. european countries that had far higher covid death rates than we did such as france and belgium have already sent students back to school. italy and spain are reopening

schools in september and of course sweet and never closedito solar schools at all. no significant outbreaks in these countries have been reported due to school attendance. unfortunately fairfax county isn't listening. the student body in fairfax happens to be one of the mostl diverse in america. 26% of hispanic, 8% african-american, 23% asian and 33% white. thousands of these parents are essential workers and others live paycheck to paycheck. and there are others who are wealthy of course. but what are the people who are less advantage supposed to do here? how is not going towh work? are women, who democrats care so much about, are they going to have to quit their jobs to homeschool their kids? how can governor ralph northam countenanced this and how are the teachers unions driving these decisions? the answer to the last two questions is likely, a lot.

keep the chaos going through the fall in the streets and in the homes. it will be terrible for the larger economy, terrible for the unemployment numbers in god awful for students. not a good situation for any oyrsincumbent president. politics is already poisoned the school curricula across america. propaganda from the 1619 project already seeping into history classes, we talked about that last week. sensible school choice initiatives are blocked by democrats. they trap at minority kids in underperforming schools. but politics should never affect whether schools open for regular classes.ns in the coming days and weeks school districts across america will be announcing their decisions on schedules and classroom learning. mothers and fathers make their voices heard on this loud and clear. our kids need to be back in school.n

widespread closures will have terrible n long-term consequencs for our children and will do little, if anything, to stop covid-19. things like hand sanitizing stations and even temperature checks at the door could easily be incremented without throwing millions of american families into chaos. if parents want to keep their kids at home they should have the option and they should be able to do that. but the vast majority of americans don't have the luxury to quit their jobs or the skill and patience required to teach their kids at home let alone multiple children in different grades. now if already stressed out parents and isolated children are forced back into the situation again, the one they just got out of from the spring, expect a difficult situation to get worse, dramatically. so pelosi really cares about the children. then why hasn't she spoken out about this? and assuming biden even understands what's happening

here, why isn't he pushing for a safe and sensible reopening as well? remember. this is time for liberals to press their advantage, to experiment in terms of how much they can push you and how much she will take, how radically they can change the old normal to prepare you for their new normal. so it's up to us to conserve and preserve what we know works. students in class, learning and growing, that's what works. and that's the angle. joining me now is john schilling, president of the american federation for children. it's great to see you tonight. decision-makers are ignoring science and abandoning the ideal that our education is a basic moral priority for our society. what's really going on here? >> laura, i live in fairfax county in my children are grown, so that's not a problem for me. it's a big problem and this is a school district that proved

incapable of online learning. it took them five weeks to even start online learning. the date start of the system crashed andhe their response was to send a note to parents to say, we hired a law firm to figure out what went wrong. i don't know how that helps the kids learn. the plan is bad for students, families and teachers and when you have a situation where you are essentially going to do part-time education, well, what kind of a position does not put parents who have to work, two-parent families who have to work?it >> laura: that's what i just said. this is being driven mostly by liberal educators in the education bureaucracy. they both don't like homeschooling, they don't like that and they don't like online learning and if they don't want kids to come back to school so what is the option here?

>> the option is as you pointed out safe and sensible. we need to get the schools reopened withen safe smart plans which will be delivering full-time education for students. one of the things a pandemic has taught us, it has laid bare how inflexible and antiquated our k-12 system is and how much we need school choice. we need to have parents who have maximum flexibility. >> laura: politics should never enter into the equation but you know it does. virtual learning though, it's hurting low income and minority students. 15% of households with school-aged children, have no internet access. one in five teens say they are unable to complete homework because they lack internet or computer. 20% of black teens and 17% of hispanics don't have the resources to keep up with virtual learning.

so these lockdowns mostly advocated by liberals are further damaging the education of those who are less privileged in our society, correct? >> no question about it and this is why we have safe and responsible ways to open up schools. it's up to 30% of the lower income families that do not have access to internet. some of us do, and they did a great job. they were nimble and smart, friendship charter schools right here in washington, d.c., 16 schools and almost all of their kids were lower income and in the community. ndin one week all the kids who needed chrome books and hot spots got them. but in school districts becausei of politics, they simply failed to deliver. we need to get them open safe and responsibly. spring i can't say it strongly

enough. >> laura: how many mothers i have heard from in the last 48 hours, i had to do the segment tonight. it affects everyone across the country. john, your voice isn't really important. and the science is pretty clear. so across multiple studies, kids are less likely to contract andd spread covid than adults so why isn't this informing the people in power? joining me at his pediatrician and founder, author of the seven secrets of the newborn. okay dr. hamilton, if parents are concerned about sending their kids to camp or school what's your message tonight of hereassurance? >> first of all laura, thank you for having me on your show again. we have put our self into a corner and this really does represent a conundrum but education is a big deal. it's a big deal for everybody

whether you are a democrat or republican or whoever you are you want your children educated. the problem is, the reality is we need to get our kids back to schoolty because if you look at the whole thing from a medical perspective, children are doing remarkably well with covid-19. if you look at the numbers, and i looked them right before i came on here tonight, still, less than 2% of all the cases of covid are happening in children zero through 18. those children who do get sick are actually tolerating the infection remarkably well. many of them are asymptomatic and by the way they are notma super spreaders. so if you look at the whole thing -- and by the way. i should also say that thehe number of children that are actually dying of covid-19 infection thankfully is very, very low. >> laura: we can't even get the actual number. we don't want any child to get sick or died, ever. but in this case i think there was one teen who had leukemia

and also had covid-19 and passed away.. c i think that's a handful of people nationwide. this is important for the ingraham angle viewers to understand. unfortunately we are making all these decisions and there is not a single american study on this but there is a chinese study which is all we have so let's put it up on the screen. positive cases in children, in the u.s. only 2% and as you said china 2.2%. italy 1.2% and spain .8%. and most of them are asymptomatic, or mild, 5% critical, children who have covid,. doctor, .6%. and we are not sending them to school, this makes no sense to me. >> it make sense if you look at it from a bigger perspective. you are not really doing

anything for children, what you're doing is protecting the adults in the room. therefore, and -- you know, this is a problem because in some ways, and i don't want to be overly hyperbolic here but you are kind of punishing children because you are afraid that they are going to pass infection on to the adults, to the teachers, the workers in the cafeteria, the administrators and other people in the room, right? and that's why -- >> laura: but there is no evidence. what people need to understand is there is no body of evidence that demonstrates that kids are tsuper spreaders of this disea. there are no outbreaks in europe, no significant outbreaks in france and they are already back at school. sweden has done incredibly well with keeping kids in school in those lower grades especially so that's not even a problem. his politics at play here, that has to stop and parents have to get involved. dr. hamilton, thank you for joining us tonight, it's very important. and after his reckless policies

killed thousands ofvo net nursig home residents, governor andrew cuomo actually had the gall to say this of red state governors. >> i say to them all look at the numbers. the play politics with this virus and you lost. if you told the people of your state and the people of this country, white house, don't worry about it.d just open up and go about your business, this is all democratic hyperbole. now you see 27 states with the numbers going up and they were in denial. denial is not a life strategy. >> laura: now he's mockingng states like florida and texas which despite al. rise in infections are not seen a spike in death. texas has only eight covid death in 100,000 people, ranking 43rd out of 30 states. in washington see in d.c. and new york, they have 20 times more than texas and ranking0 first in the country. here to respond, texas

lieutenant governor dan patrick. as cases arise, and texasnt is stepping on the brakes so shouldn't the ones that we laid out provide context to this conversation of increasing infection numbers? >> first of all governor cuomo is probably the biggest fraud who hold that position in the country. he had about 6,000 people die a nursing home and we had less than a thousand and that'sre on top of the other people who have died ingg new york. he shortchanged the people in new york and he cost people their lives and how dare him come on and point his finger at any other governor in the state. and we are testing in more than our 254 counties and we were before. so expect those numbers to go up. but here's the good news. the good news is we aren't

seeing it translate to the icu unit or into fatalities. so over the last eight days we had 47, 29, 28, ten, 17 people pass. t every life is valuable but with a spike in cases and a spike in hospitalizations, the firewall so far as of the icu units. talked to one major hospitalal chain last night and in march their death rate compared to positivity was almost 4%. may it was 9% and this month it's 5.9. here's a point. numbers are high, but there is a lot to be a very optimistic about.t. we are very concerned and being very careful but to be very optimistic about because these are mostly younger people who were in hospitals for half the time they were in march. it's been all over the place in texas, we have 1400 with covid. 721400. >> laura: and you haven't even had to move essential surgeries

off of the table. you have room to grow in your icu and i hope you don't have to use it. we'll texas in any way, shape or form, dan patrick, shut down because of the spike? >> governor abbott was very clear in his announcement, we put a pause on elective surgery to make sure we have plenty of room, but we are not stepping backwards. our pause button that we have taken, we are already 75% open, people are out there and about. it's one of the reasons cases are out there with the young people. i'm going out and they are socializing, we wish they would social distance as they do that but that's been the big reason for the spike.

to close the loop on the icu cases, when they say in texas it's 90 or 95% full, that's with noncovid patients.n >> laura: dan, and about three or 4 minutes, because dan has a long history in radio, too. you clarified so much that has been confused, purposely confused by the media. thank you for doing this tonight. we will keep track of this tonight and we will check back with you next week. tell of governor abbott, no closing the state down. can't do it. it's not just of protest hot spots, we have more when we come back. ♪ it's pretty inspiring the way families

♪ >> laura: earlier this week the marxist radicals pledged to attack and rip down the emancipation memorial in d.c. why not, of course they are? the plan of desecration was supposed to happen tonight and the law enforcement rose to the occasion. police put up fencing on concrete barriers, can you believe we have to do this in the united states of america? they put more officers in the area as well. so police presence, shocker, was enough to get the anarchists who canceled their plans for the night.

as you can see they drew a massive crowd of malcontents, about eight people. is that a live shot? i love that. have no fear, they will reportedly try again tomorrow. now aside from the looting, some of the most disturbing visuals from the mass protests we've seen where the wanton attacks on police officers, most of them unprovoked. this is a toxic brew of antipolice sentiments and it's been accelerated by media that wish to perpetuate it. this has led to a series of violent attacks across the nation outside of the protest hot spots. now i want to walk you through a few that have happened overer te past five days or so and asked, why aren't you seeing this anywhere else? let's start last night in grand rapids, michigan. according to a local report and officer sitting in an unmarked police car was shot at by multiple people. more than two dozen rounds weree fired and thankfully that officer is okay. and tuesday night in boston, officers responding to a call for a person carrying a

fanny pack containing a gun. they arrived on the scene to arrest the man he wrote resisted and suddenly they were surrounded. the crowd grew and of someone opened a fire hydrant. and saturday in tampa, florida, they provided the most frightening example. police were responding to a report of shots fired when they were set upon by hundreds of people. the crowd had all four intersections completely blocked off and as a police try f to locate a victim, the mob became aggressive. fox 13 reports that his officers took one person into custody them up surrounded him and even jumped on one of the officers cars. >> they've got rocks and bottles and glass bottles being thrown, beware and use caution. >> two officers were injured but thankfully they got out of there.

joining me now is at davis, former police commissioner of boston where he was in charge during the horrific marathon bombing and ed mullins, president of the benevolence association. our criminal elements around the nation now just feeling totally emboldened by the lawlessness and the fact that so few people end up getting arrested with son much damage done? >> hi, flora. you see these incidences growing in frequency. they are not covered well by the media and i think people don't understand how dangerous it is out there for the cop on the beat right now. >> laura: ed mullins, when i hear ambush and police in the same't sentence, a chill goes dn my spine. i feel -- it's such a deep feeling of anguish. because we think of police who are responding in good faith, contrary to what so many in the mob want you to think, to try to

help someone. but then as we've seen in instances in the last year or y two, police find themselves in an ambush situation. we just saw that developed on the west coast i think last week or the week before when there was an ambush. what about situations like that, and the fact, again, that the american media willk not cover this? >> while we sought to happen right here in new york city and we are finding criminals are being more and more emboldened. we have standard down orders of everything that's occurring as far as rights go andn attacks on police. just a couple of weeks back during covid we were sending s.w.a.t. teams and to enforce covid violations so what we are witnessing is anarchy. we need the american public to get out the vote, stand behind the police and let us lead the way to bring back society the

way it was in this country. we are a nation of laws and wees will do the job but we need to change the laws and get rid of the politicians who are definitely doing everything they rycan to disrupt the american wy of life. mayor de blasio in new york city is a classic example, he has to go. the marion seattle, she has to go. but it's up to the people, the government belongs to the people. we need them to get out. police will lead the way but they need to back the police they need to get these politicians out of the way and to demand it. >> laura: edit davis, something that has not been covered has been the spike in the number of officers murdered this year according to the fbi, 27 law enforcement officers have been reported feloniously killed in 2020, and during the previous year for the same. or, 21 officerss were feloniousy killed. that is just tragic, and again,

getting zero coverage in the rush to smear the police coast-to-coast. >> it's a troubling trend and we need to do something to turn it around. the first thing that made sabin is the politicians who for decades have stood shoulder to shoulder with us to fight crime are now turning their backs ono us and saying things like all cops are racist and all cops are brutal. they know that's not the case, that's inciting people and it's dangerous.no >> laura: i want to play this troubling scene from ishington, d.c., this week. watch. >> you see this? this is what we call community policing. : we don't need you. we have our own [bleep] people and they are actually standing up to protect us. >> laura: and of course a lot of minority police officers they were calling pigs.

at davis, why is the sentiment of community policing harmful? >> well, i believe the anarchists or the extremists, they are using anything the police do as a negative example of control by the state. and that's not what police officers do. police officers are out there to protect people and help people. >> laura: is now the one new york city precinct commander is quitting his job in protest. he says his bosses are not giving him enough guidance to get guns and dot comic drugs off the street. now that they have disbanded and reassigned a fancy crime unit. we have talked about this before but i cannot imagine what the morale is like in the nypd with de blasio in charge, just like

before trump came in the border patrol. so how are you going to recruit good officers in this environment? >> well, morale is at an all-time low after 38 years in the nypd, nypd, exorcising it. to be honest if i had a family member or mom or friend or, anyone who is thinking of taking this job, i would tell you not to do it. you don't have the backing of anyone in the nypd, leadership in the nypd is failing, they are following orders from the mayor and his time as they break ranks from the mayor, they keep the oath they were sworn to protect. they are putting every police officer in harm's way and once you get past us, you are next. s it's coming to the public if you don't start defending the issues of police. we have terrible leadership across the board and a lot of these departments who continue

to politics with their bosses. >> laura: and i's will tell everyone tonight, electing biden, if you think things will calm down electing biden, you will just be rewarding the mobs that tried to burn it all down. the lesson from that isse keep fighting and keep burning and you will get even more stuff. gentlemen, great to see you both. and the pc mob comes to disney world. biden is out of the basement and the latest in the quo bro saga. that and raymond arroyo has more on thursday follies, next. ♪ borough saga. saga. are you sick and tired of looking and

disney world. >> laura, some confederate monuments are falling at the disney parks. not leanne calhoun but br'er rabbit,fe br'er fox and br'er br who are no more. disney announced today they are repurchasing their splash mountain attraction. although they don't reference it in their statement, it's clear that the black lives matter march has persuades to this decision. when they are built the attraction in 1989 they cut uncle remus away from it, completely from the story line. vicious cartoon characters from a film that's been in the disney vault for 40 years, for a perio, of now suddenly i guess the cartoon characters are racist. exhibit d dude i won the academy award, it ends the show. when the academy award for best song and that, too, is to be stricken. if we follow this bad logic of the day the statue will have to go next, and walt disney personally produce the film that

splash mountain is based on. so expect wards to come to mean street and pull a wall down. what about the 12 owning animatronic figures in hall of the presidents? how about the tiki birds, hello cultural appropriation, they all talk in accents. where does the sand?im that's a question. where does this end? >> laura: must i go back to, "it's a small world? isn't it all making them seemer smaller than they are? really? >> joel chandler harris who wrote the uncle remus stories, thieves werere based on the folklore of the african-americans. it was those stories that he put into this. the first children stories, aa milne he who created winnie the pooh stoolha story lines and brace some of

them on br'er rabbit and br'er fox. he o took them wholesale. so you have to strike a lot. if you start striking these core pieces of american literature, sure. it's bound up in slavery and bound up in the time but youta explain it all. >> laura: what are they replacing splash mountain with? >> a princess and the frog attraction. and princess tiana is the first black princess in history and that was based on a woman i know, leah chase. soan splash mountain will be a trick. tiana should get her own right in new orleans square in disneyland and the briar patch it should be left alone. this idea is all wet. i wish i cared as much as you do about splash mountain. you are a disney fanatic.

>> laura: an update to a story we brought you last night, the complete and very public leftward turn of the sports media. the espy awards used to be unique because one could actually sit down to watch an award show without the fear of being lectured, politically. now it was espn doing what it

used to do best, highlighting the best in the world of sports at every level, it was really fun. now it could be read inspiring and it could be unifying, but now? >> as white people, this is the breaking point. this time, we have to have their backs. trust us, we know sports are important. that's why we are here tonight. but you black lives matter when they are not scoring touchdowns, grabbing rebounds and serving aces? >> laura: that broadcasts deliver the lowest sp ratings ever come down 81% from 2014, that's a way to go. more people watched the discovery channel show about ghost hunting and velocities of the amazon than that broadcast. now given those horrific numbers he would think that espn would pave it away from constant social justice haranguing and lecturing but you'd be wrong.

this was a conversation on one of their morning shows today. >> we seen even just in recent elections of voter suppression in georgia, kentucky and other places. >> colin kaepernick has become an icon in the movement and obviously faced backlash early on when he was ahead of the game. >> it's too big of a topic in this show but since were being asked, the broadersl answer is reparations. there should be reparations in the country. >> laura: if you want to hold those beliefs, that's totally fine. if you want to use your sports broadcast to espouse them, your viewers, even the ones that may agree with you politically start tuning you out. come work at a cable channel, just do politics all day long. well, it looks like they are doingag that. meanwhile in seattle, a group of property owners are now suing the mayor to let the radical air run wild. one of the plaintiffs is john

mcdermott whose auto shop is right outside of the anarchist populated zone. he said police didn't respond to help as vandals torched and diluted his business. >> people don't call 91 for entertainment, it's because i have an emergency and need help, snow. i'm very frustrated that the city has put us in this position, the city council and theen mirror, even up to i gues, the governor, they are not doing their job and are not protectine us. >> laura: joining me now is john eastman, claimant institute, senior fellow in constitutional scholar. john, what is thend most interesting about this lawsuit? >> they were named only the city of seattle as the defendant and said if any of the organizers of occupied zone movement up there.
