doing right now in chicago and new york. >> sean: i misspoke earlier, i said 14 killed. 14 shot tonight. we apologize when we make a mistake. that's 14 people too many shot tonight. dan bongino, thank you. let not your heart be >> laura:. we have a lot to get to tonight. i am laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from washington out of chicago and according to the police, 14 people were injured. most of them shot near a funeral home in a community called auburn gresham. and a press conference a short time ago the police said there was a planned ambush outside of the funeral home where memorial service is going on inside for a homicide victim. at the end of last week in chicago, renders up 51%, shootings 4 4047% and the staggering numbers, mayor lori lightfoot presided over a city that has turned into

the wild west. now let me make this as clear as i can make it tonight. it is open season on the citizens of chicago and the mayor cannot be bothered to accept real federal help. you know why? because of her seething hatred for donald trump. that is outweighing her concern for the citizens that she is supposed to be serving. now, the head of the chicago fraternal order of police was here tonight to act to mayor lori lightfoot's refusal to accept help but instead will react to the story. john joins me now exclusively, john, are you as unhinged as mayor lightfoot says you are? see, she is putting it on you. that is what she is doing. putting it on you. maybe it is fox or trump, everyone but looking in the mirror and also at the criminals. >> good evening, laura, thanks

for having me. first of all, the mayor likes to use the word unhinged but the ironic part of the mayor became unhinged. i wish i could show you the text messages over the weekend as soon as she found out i sent a request to president trump. she was the one who totally became unhinged, unprofessional, childish and really pathetic for the leader of the city. >> laura: well, right now we have carnage as far as i can see. we don't know what will happen and we don't have depth of the injuries but it looked pretty wild on the scene that was shown. this was outside of a funeral home so if you are going to shoot outside of a funeral home some signage about the funeral they had on the street and apparently it was some police presence somewhere on the scene. you've gotten really bold, haven't you, john? you are pretty bold as a criminal and you're not worried. >> like shaun's guest said, the

bold is there because there is no consequences. the justice system in cook county has broken all the way from the president to kim fox, the prosecutor to the sheriff, tim opens the chief judge pier they have no idea what real justices. that is basically the bloodbath in the street as a result. >> laura: lori lightfoot said bring people into this back and forth to put it politely, john, between you and lightfoot. this is what she said. everyone watch. >> we've got to unhinged the leaders of the fraternal order of police who is crazy and in trying to get attention. this is a dangerous road for us to go down. we are not going to have people that don't know where streets engaging in clearly unconstitutional conduct of operating at will in our cities. that is chaos. that is lawlessness. >> laura: that is chaos. what we are seeing tonight wasn't chaos, but you wanting

federal help and actual assistance is chaos? this woman doesn't know her own city, okay? it is a travesty. i thought i was mad about other things tonight given what is going on in the country, but this is an outrage. the great american cities being served by her, a radical, and talk her out of office, john, go ahead appear it's because she is really running the titanic into an iceberg intentionally. 66 rounds and people shot tonight at a funeral where the police obviously special attention because of the gang victim that was already being waked at the funeral home. the irony about her not knowing the city streets and the federal officers, she just end this isn't a knock on the superintendent because i like the superintendent but she hired an outsider that didn't know the city, didn't know the streets. what is the difference? again, she has a big hypocrite. she has a napoleon complex and if you don't agree with her, heaven forbid. >> laura: the funeral

attendees, i understand, return fire on the vehicle. so these were all gang bangers, right? if you had to sum it up for us, the conjecture of this we need to know more, but people are firing on each other. this is part of the wild west. this is a killing field in chicago. we are complaining about trump, are you kidding me? talk about blame shifting putting it on you and the fraternal order of police or the cops on the beach? what are the heck the cop supposed to do with no support from city hall? were they supposed to do? >> you highlighted obviously the shootings and murders, but you know superintendent brown basically said yesterday that the police department has recovered 5400 guns so for the sheer off of the streets of chicago. now, as he properly highlighted, that is 54 deadly encounters, 5400 deadly encounters the men and women of the police department have dealt with over the first six months of this year and not a single person i shouldn't say not a single

person but i think only three shootings that resulted in deaths. but my point is how many more guns or how many more murders would occur if the guns were not taken off the street. more importantly, there is a lot of people arrested with those guns that were immediately left out on the street again and it goes back to kim fox and the broken county jail system. >> laura: this is a revolving door of so-called criminal justice reform. someone is arrested on a monday. they are released on tuesday morning. they get their criminal defender, public defender, and we are crying about how unfair the system is. and i just want -- if everyone is joining us tonight, there was a disturbing scene in chicago a few hours ago at a funeral. we had 14 people shot. many in the hospital. people were returning fire from the funeral to the cars that were going off in different directions and apparently responsible for the shooting

coming from multiple directions. the reports we are getting tonight, john, and at the same time this is happening tonight, we have utter lawlessness in another great american city of portland, oregon. and we have people in portland, oregon, who are telling the media not to cover it because that tells a very distorted story. people are covering it because they want to hurt people politically. no, we want to cover it because we want to save lives, property and livelihood. what will happen if aoc and again get their way with biden and the whole crowd and defund the police? this is defined and dismantled the police movements across the country, john. his tonight's scene going to be repeated across urban american? i don't know about rib in america but chicago is unique across the country. i've said it time and time again approximately new york is 2.5 25 the size but 30% more murders than the whole city of new york. let that sink in.

there was a mindless comeau lawless mindless set in the city where they just do whatever they want because no repercussion. there was no accountability. this is piggybacking on friday nights scene where a large group of officers trying to protect christopher columbus day statue being pulled down and 52 officers were injured and that melee. they want to pretend this was a handful of anarchists that embedded themselves in the protest. the protesters knew that this was going to happen. they protected these people until they went down. we talk about account the last week and just this point come accountability. they cry that police officers don't speak up, they protect bad behavior but what about all the good protesters who stood there and watch the anarchist rural fireworks, frozen water, bricks at officers and did nothing? they did nothing. >> laura: i'm tired of the lie they are offering to good protesters. you shouldn't be throwing stuff at police were standing by people who are throwing stuff at the police come okay?

shouldn't be pulling down statues, it is not your property. if you want to take down a statue go the legal way amp petition alderman but don't pull ropes and pull down statues. that is thuggish behavior and we are tolerating in chicago and across the country. the broken window and the broken statues, okay? john, more breaking news, standby. we have to bring in sara carter fox news contributor host of the sara carter show podcast and raincoats on the national hole and editor chief of the pandemic podcast. the media are telling us not to cover these types of events where we have blood in the streets, now blood, outside of a funeral home in this memorial was going on. why are they telling us not to cover this? >> they are telling us not to cover this because they want to affect the november elections. they don't care about the people in and the city of chicago.

the children who have lost their lives they are since the beginning of the year and neither does the mayor. mayor lightfoot. i have to tell you, laura, i think about all the children across this country that have been so badly affected this year. not only with the violence in the streets, but with covid the, not being able to go to school. now we have a bunch of adults who act like children and put our children's lives in danger because of their political and divisive. and what we are seeing across the country is something that i believe can get far worse if something doesn't happen. if something doesn't stop this, this escalation of violence. i talked to law enforcement officials today, many of who told me, look, if we don't get the kind of backup support we need, a lot of people are walking off of the jobs. they are retiring. they will leave law enforcement. what happens to the citizens when that happens, laura? >> laura: i would say the same time a debate is going on in

chicago about whether to open the schools up. and i do it -- a slight majority of chicago public school parents want schools to reopen in some form. but what if you mix school closures online education with the defund the police movement and everything you are saying go down in the streets, now kids with nowhere to go? how do you write that little road map what will happen i in e fall? >> it is a recipe for carnage. i remember the speech that the president gave and he talked about the carnage stopping and how the carnage has to stop. it looked like the democrat policy and their friends in the media have used that and thought, it sounds like a great idea. here we are as a result of it all. it boggles the mind how the president has not called up and stepped up to the plate here, law and order is happening, not

just a phrase on twitter that is going on at the street but in oregon and it will be going on in chicago but meanwhile we are told, no, no, no we don't want . the democrat mayors, these people are treating these bodies that we are seeing and the people who are wonder that we are seeing as statistics. now, i can hear in your voice in your anchor's voice on the set, and if you actually care about these people being affected in these places them if you carry about the communities in their lives, they are not just statistics but what's another five or ten people as long as it doesn't mean we have to accept president donald trump's assistance to get law and order on the streets. there is a three track quality to the president to get elected, law and order in the streets, confronting the chinese communist party, and it is commanding the pandemic. he stepped up and he has shown he is doing all of those things. >> laura: well, this is what lori lightfoot said today at a press conference, sarah, watch. >> we all understand that having

additional federal resources can be a value add up but they are not a value add if they are nameless agents writing around in vans pulling people off the streets, and depriving them of their constitutional rights. that is not what democracy looks like. we will not have that in the city of chicago. >> laura: always community organizing there. and she's talking about pulling around in black cars, always in nefarious description of law enforcement. meanwhile, we have a black suv pulled up with multiple people inside and shoot up this funeral. we had 60 shell casings found on the ground outside of the funeral home. but she is focused, o oh, the nefarious police will be -- so she will accept some federal prisons, but clearly not enough. >> she is absolutely lying, laura. this is what is so tragic here. she has absolutely propaganda and a liar. the law enforcement officials come everybody knows who they

are federal law enforcement officials they are to protect the community and there are thugs on the streets. what about the children who have to walk on the streets? what about the innocent women and children and men who walking the streets in these communities that are run by gang members? what about the drugs being sold on the streets? how many more children do we have to lose? how many more people's lives have to be taken before people in our country, particularly in these major, urban cities. wake up and do something about! president trump is doing the right thing. he is speaking about law and order. law and order is necessary for our society to move forward. we can't do that if our children are dying in the streets. we just can't do that. and we can't afford in this country. >> laura: and raheem i think about the difficulty we have had since george floyd and that horrific death of his at the hands of a police officer. everything that the country has endured and gone through.

i think of the people hurt the most in chicago by this crime. we did two town halls focusing on almost exclusively on this horrific crime with people who really cared about the communities, faith leaders, mobs and others, it is heartbreaking, literally. i have bawled. it was just so heartbreaking. this is more of that. and these are real lives, real people in the city is a great city, but you can't have a mayor that comes out and says we don't want a tater ship, she said as she is excepting some federal. we don't want dictatorships like portland, what you're trying to do to portland. that is not helping race relationships. >> no, laura from i would keen to look and organizer of "black lives matter" in the eye and asked honest question, have things improved? have things improved since the marxist organization used george floyd's name to bring homage to

the united states streets? and the less country lived in the united kingdom domain kingdom and then london. and the mayor of london when i first came to america to say adele mcstay on a long-term basis, thank goodness i'm in america. because could never come to america. sure enough, lori lightfoot or whatever comes london to come america come it is distressing and deep deeply hurtful for the people who have to live through it. and the president keeps the handle and this, he is assured of victory in november. my goodness, joe biden and this stuff come he is certainly not in control of his own party. and i still remember they were campaigning and please don't make me vote for joe biden the political left and going around at the time. and by the way the left will cancel joe biden on day one to give it to somebody more on the radical left. it is a total mess. >> laura: sarah come up when we see the political landscape

as it is unfolding this election season, covid is dominating the minds of so many people. but thankfully, increasingly low mortality rate and the more people we test. but i think people have got to look at what they are seeing in new york and chicago, portland and seattle and say, that is all blue leadership. that is all democratic leadership and they refused to enforce law. they refuse to do it. they demonized a very people who are putting their lives on the mind and not making a ton of money, by the way, putting their lives on the lines and getting junk thrown at them and celebrating, the left celebrated by these political leaders. this is a moment for everyone to think long and hard what kind of america they want. this can't be it. >> no, that is exactly right, laura. people have to decide come november. what do you want? do you want to see the country

pull apart the way we see it fall apart in the cities? because it is literally falling apart. in the people who are paying for it for the people in those communities, the children of the communities. we save this over and over again. when biden comes in, raheem is right. if biden was present, look who would be behind him. he would be a puppet and they would eat him up. they would move in. i'm talking about people like alexandria ocasio-cortez, representative ilhan omar, lori lightfoot, the mayor of portland. i mean, these radical ideology is to push marxism and socialism. we are seeing what is happening in our communities. we have to ask ourselves, when does this stop? that requires the american public, laura, to stop being silent. for those of you afraid out there to speak up and say no

more, this is not going to happen in our community. we can have a normal discussion, but we can't allow people to take over communities and destroy them. >> laura: let them have free reign and let them be for a while, let them be. i want to bring you back in and i said it at the top but i want americans to look at the chicago crime stats. murders are up 51% since last year and shootings 47%. the competitors on cable have still not reported this to our knowledge. again the move to obscure this, to keep it concealed, to downplay it and even dismiss it is shocking and it certainly is not doing any good for the most underplay a pledge to people in our society who are always the ones that suffer the most. not the people behind the gates were the people with the private security, those people are fine. it is the working people and the poor people who suffer from high crime, john, thoughts. >> you know, some of these neighborhoods i have said, they are basically hostage. they cannot leave their house. literally until the early morning hours when the criminals

are finally going to bed. time and time again, many of the citizens come out of their office and thanked the police once they clear a block because they haven't been able to leave their house all day. and forced to live in these conditions for generation after generation. it's not the police that created these problems. it is the politician. and these politicians he's holding accountable. i'm repealing to every voter in polk county right now in illinois. you have a chance this november to take him for walks out of office and do something worthwhile. she needs to go. if we are going to get the city back away from the iceberg, that is your chance come november. >> laura: people have to get involved in their local elections, whether at a school board that are closing the schools, john, and that is going to be chaos. more shutdowns that will leave people hopeless and without any where to go during the day. we had a story -- go ahead.

>> the ironic part is you talk about the schools. the teachers union, one of the biggest lobbyist against the police. and it's sad to say there's a lot of great teachers in chicago but the teachers union specifically has been outspoken critic and constantly railed against the police misconduct, okay, fine. but yet they had their own sex abuse scandal for the better part of the last ten years that no one talks about. the police get fired at about ten to one richer -- ratio who outnumber the teachers force to one. but they depend through and through and it's old misdirection in the city. everybody does this look the other way but never point to themselves because they don't like what they see and they don't want anybody else to see what they see either. it is disgusting. >> laura: tonight and "the washington post" there is a piece about how oklahoma a very dark feeling hundreds campout in oklahoma unemployment lines. we tried to warn them what would happen if they do these role shutdowns. and we let a virus confine us or

define us. we warned about increases in crime. we warned about increases in despair and loneliness and drug abuse and sadly, i hate to say it, we were right. walking down people, shutting down businesses, how is that going to affect us as this pandemic continues to dominate headlines despite the declining mortality? >> well, i think it is kind of ironic if in a sad way the numbers for violent crime in the city of chicago have gone up during the stay the stay-at-home order. that the mayor and governor of illinois put into effect with an iron fist exceeding their authority time and time again. clearly the criminals did not get the message but again, this is all a designed effort to badmouth the police in order to try to get licensing passed in illinois to go circumvent the collective bargaining rights. she is willing to let the blood

of children achieve her goal. sad but true. >> laura: illinois governor billionaire j.b. pritzker ripped trump's plan to send homeland security to try to help the city of chicago. that is jb's answer after he sent his family to hang out in a very safe florida during the pandemic, okay? so his family was fine. it was the rule for the but not for me, john. and whether a republican doing this or a democrat, i don't care. the people are hurting. you cannot take away their schools, they are sports, their livelihoods, and expect them to sit inside and wait for the government to rescue them. it's not going to work. it is a disastrous policy. these locks towns have killed more people. i think we will find out when this all over these lockdowns have been a deleterious force on american society across the board. and they are just getting going with a lockdowns, john.

i'm telling you if lori lightfoot would lock down the city tomorrow she would do it. >> she went back from step 4 down to step 3 and we are going backwards, reverting. again, it is mind-boggling in over her head she is. i mean, maybe it's got something to do with how short she is, but she is not cut out for this job. she has proven wanton and the task and unfortunately we are stuck with her for another two and half years. >> laura: i don't know your city laws. i don't know if there is a recall petition but the people have to take the government back. john, stay with us. you are so kind to be with us tonight. we are pleased to be joined on the phone by pastor cory brooks of the new beginnings church in chicago. now, for those of you who remember pastor brooks he hosted "the ingraham angle" at his church last september when we thought at the time to highlight and find resolution to the violence problem in chicago. pastor brooks, i'm sorry to have to talk to you on a night like

tonight, but i got your message and what you have seen happen both tonight and over the last several weeks. >> well, it is unfortunate that i just left the crime scene. we are about 17 people have been shot in our city. it is really bad now with all the shootings in all the young people being shot, especially all the children being shot. if we don't get a hold of the situation real soon, sorry we will be in for a long, tough summer. >> laura: you heard the fraternal order of police chief just say that the lockdown has coincided with a huge spike in crime. now, the city is going backward. and no you see it with your own congregation, pastor, pastor brooks. very hard for churches in these lockdowns as well. how do you expect that to affect the situation on the ground as you see it? >> well, there are a lot of churches that you know, are in a

really bad situation along with our communities and a bad situation. the economic situation for a lot of people. >> laura: i think we might have just lost the pastor. we will see if we get him back in a moment. my guy will tell us if we get him back in a moment. john, he just said, john cantanzara is back with us, john, the pastor that left the crime scene, there seems to be a discrepancy with a 14 or 17. but regardless, it is a mass shooting. it was broad daylight and it was still light out as you saw when this occurred. 60 casings found on the ground. when was the last time you remember 60 casings found on the ground, john, last time you remember that? there was a shooting at a park i want to say about five years ago where 13 people were shot. >> laura: 2013, i believe. not to one up you want the crime statistics. i believe that was 2013 if my

memory serves me correct. not funny. >> it is not funny but macabre humor and you almost get desensitized to it. again, think of the trauma as the responding officers, how may times we see these on a daily basis in and out, in and out in the trauma we hold with him. so you know, we can obviously have sympathy for the victims and we should, but don't forget the police officers who deal with this kind of trauma in the certain locations on a daily basis, on a yearly basis. it takes a toll over time, it really does. and the reason why alcoholism is so prevalent in the police profession. >> laura: well, alcoholism and drug abuse. thank you for being here. we will sing on this with breaking news throughout the hour. we will bring you new information, news conferences as they do come. but up next, the president resumes covid press conferences. they will tell us the real

numbers that we need to examine behind the reopening spirit don't go away

♪ >> laura: you can feel it, right? we are moving toward new threats of a shut down nationwide. and i was a strip -- instructed to check on sweden. this is a narrative on the less it don't make less restrictive approach. sweden is a big problem in terms of its death rate and economy. it is a red spot on the map of europe. >> a lot is happening in sweden as a bit of a caution to those pushing to ease restrictions. >> what might have happened if we never shut down businesses or schools? let life go on as normal? they did that and sweden and they believe the experiment failed. >> laura: such bad reporting. one of the next guest pointed out a trend in sweden data pointing to these three graphs. first, look at deaths by day in

sweden, death peaked in early weeks and have declined ever since. number two, the positive test by day. there is no relationship between the peak in cases and the peak and deaths. third, death by age, nearly all deaths were over 70. most were over 80. and it is the same everywhere. joining us now, former "new york times" reporter and author of unreported truth about covid-19 lockdown and also with me phil kirk and president of the committee to unleash prosperity. alex, critics will say there is nothing to learn from sweden they had all those deaths in the old folks home as well, denmark did better, what is your response? >> well, that is absurd, sweden is a major country that pursued a different strategy. if you look my would save one of the mistakes sweden made was they didn't protect the nursing homes aggressively enough. in fact, a "wall street journal" article in june suggesting some

cases they actually allowed older people to die rather than getting them into icu. that was clearly a big mistake on their part, how over the overall in sweden, peter deaths per capita italy, france, the u.k. or spain, major european countries have done it without blowing up the education system and disrupted and reason to believe if you look at the more recent, they will not talk about herd immunity and i don't like to use the term but they may have gotten there were close to there. because death and icu admission is low this month. it is hard to explain why that is considering they are seeing cases if the virus has not burned its through the most vulnerable of the population. so what is still too early to tell that, you know they definitely have gotten through this, but the signs are positive for them. >> laura: and phil, speaking of what sweden didn't do which

is to close out schools, "the washington post" is reporting tonight that the superintendent in fairfax county, loudoun county and montgomery county all surrounding washington, d.c., are calling for all virtual classes to start the school year. scrapping earlier plans we reported on to do partial online, partial in school. phil, what are these school districts putting ahead of the kids and their well being here? >> laura, this is 100% negative partisanship. this is politics. this is because president trump said to open the schools. they are sacrificing the education of the children and the parents, the social development badly needed in classroom instruction. they are a zero rationale for this. a new study came out of the u.k. today that said there is not a single confirmed case in the entire world of a student infecting a teacher, not one confirmed in the entire world. we know students far lower

health risk far lower health risk of covid's then they are seasonal flu every single year. so this is based on health, logically they could never open again. but this is not based on health but politics. >> laura: alex, this is political. this is going to devastate american families and it's being done to set up this election. is it not? this is disgusting as coppery bran at fairfax should be ashamed of himself. >> it is disgusting and it's happening all over the country. to go back to sweden, sweden and finland did a study comparing the two country schools because schools in finland close for two months, schools and sweden never closed. they found that activity, raised rates of hospital and tests with one through 19 were the same in both countries. note children age 1-19 died. and this is important because you hear the teachers complaining i'm at risk, i am at risk, but in fact, rates of

infection among teachers in sweden were lower than the overall population. because children don't spread this very frequently, you know, i know it's hard to believe but schools are actually a safer place for the teachers to go than walmart or wherever they would be hanging out if schools were not in session. >> laura: the cdc, the cdc said today that you are more likely to get sick from being at home then you are from outside of contacts. that is cdc, phil. by the way, you said you caught "the new york times" lying about what a korean study on viral loads in children? the report warned that score reopening's will trigger more outbreaks with older children because they spread covid as much as adults. phil, what did "the new york times" get wrong about asymptomatic kids, he lied, go ahead appear and speak with this study is unbelievable what they are trying to use it for. the headline, older kids, and

randi weingarten is using it to justify the health strikes all over the country. you look at the actual study and you find over 97% of the time it is an adult that brings the infection into the home. over 97% of the time. they found 2% of the time it was a child that did it but that doesn't even tell the whole story because allison munro the number one pediatric covid researcher in the world said he saw the data set and 2% of cases the adults in the household actually shared the initial exposure. they were exposed at the same time the child was. so you don't know which one brought it into the home you and in the 2% of cases. so did this does not justify in any way. >> laura: alex, is this a form of child abuse? real quick, this is child abuse. i find this to be abusive behavior. >> locking kids up at home is child abuse. not letting them socialize is child abuse. telling them they will die if they go out and play is child

abuse. it is disgusting. it is the most disgusting part of this whole thing. and parents are starting to get furious about it. >> laura: they better appear they better get loud and put their views about president trun the backseat realizing the only one fighting for you and your families on this. phil and alex thank you so much. it's not just the school district on the east coast, the left and parents is it escalating in california? the next guest taking on governor newsom on plans to keep the vast majority of schools they are closed through the fall. now today she filed a lawsuit on behalf of parents against the governor. joining me now as harmeet dhillon, the center for american liberties which raises money to file these lawsuits. center for american liberty. tell me about this suit that you just filed, layman terms. >> sure, lower at the california constitution of the united states constitution guarantees students education and equal protection. they guarantee students will not

be discriminated against on that race or disability but governor newsom shut down 80% of the schools in california private and public does all of those things. it denies education by forcing the state distant learning on kids. and it moores learning for special needs children. it is disproportionately on minority and low-income families and single low income parents and basically gives up on the education of children in california who are betrayed during the semester by the state distance learning. as the prior panel pointed out this is totally scientifically basis and unnecessary, driven nt by teachers but the california teachers union and association and this is all about terrorizing the populace. as you said, laura, parents need to get wise across the political spectrum. my thought is overwhelmed parents all across every walk of life and every type of politics upset about how this is destroying their families peace of mind, economics. moms having to give up their

jobs. children who are good children in school withdrawing, getting depressed, suicide. all of these things. and laura, it is a betrayal. this is an economy that spends $100 billion in california on education, and this is what they are doing, phoning it in. it is unacceptable, laura and we need to make sure the governor does not get away with it. >> laura: you are fighting this. harmeet and her organization refining this. appearance in california, okay, i don't know if you are turning in for the first time. you must get involved or you are going to lose precious time with your kids and harmeet i am a mom of three kids. i don't know. i am blessed. i have resources, but i'm thinking of those who do not. and even if you do have resources, it is difficult. so those parents are the ones who will be hurt the most with the kids in difficult situations. and i hope they are seeing who is doing this to them. it's not the republicans.

these are the democrats. they are holding the kids hostage to try to get rid of trump. is that an overstatement? >> not at all. the nonsense i had a press conference today and liberal reporters asked me so you want the teachers to die? no, i don't want the teachers to die neither will they die based on literally read a book once in a while. there is no support for that. but for people who are scared or vulnerable, we can have options for those people. this is a country that put the man on the moon. so we can absolutely solve this problem, laura, and we must. we cannot just pump this. >> laura: kids used as political pawns, it is sickening. harmeet, thank you and thank you for this that are gnomic center for american liberty and everything you are doing to raise money, by the way. josh hawley shot across nike and the nba over there china. that jason whitlock is here and why the senator has him in a bind. not even our competitor's best battery

"corporate america and the slabs that talk the products have been playing this game for a long time. talk up corporate social responsibility and social justice at home while making millions of dollars off at the slave labor that assembles their products all just to save a few bucks." joining me jason whitlock partnering columnist "the great out kick.com." jason these critiques of nike and the nva, they really have struck a chord. why is that? >> well, i think it is an easy way to get the typical american sports fan, which is a massive audience to understand some of the larger issues going on in american society. and so when you look at a lot of resistance to president trump and his america first agenda, you can see it right there in the nba with nike. they have so much interest in

the market in china, that they have put the goals and the agenda of china ahead of the american agenda, and that is why it is so easy for them to sit on their thrones, smear america, while overlooking the fact that asian slave labor and the communist china party that runs china are using lebron james, colin kaepernick, and nike to smear america. this is what communist countries have done to the west forever. they smeared us with the race card when america is the worldwide leader when it comes to dealing with race. we deal with it more effectively with any other country in the history of the world, and we certainly do with it better than china. >> laura: jason, i want to put those numbers in context for the audience. the league rakes in an estimated $500 billion from china, 10% of its revenue and estimates say

that contribution could reach 20% in the next ten years as the audience grows. money talks. we talk a big game about what we will put on the back of our jersey. but you think about who with stitching that jersey. what kind of life they might want to lead to have freedom. >> i think this is just an easy way for americans to understand some of the larger cultural issues we are dealing with in america. the influence of foreign countries is so strong in america that our porch legs, our bending, the nba that has a global agenda with david stern vision, we will make the nba strong all across the globe. in the nba really isn't concerned with its american audience. i don't think they really care. i think that 20% revenue goal i think is very conservative. >> laura: yeah, i was going to say. >> i think their goal is to get a television contract in china

that dwarfs anything they are getting paid here in america has been the real agenda. and that is why they keep scolding america, smearing america. it is very hypocritical. i am glad senator hawley is putting it out. we need this conversation on a large stage, and we need the american public to understand. >> laura: maybe it is time for them to stay out of politics if they have an obvious double standard that is so easy to point out. jason come of this story, i we have been covering that espn ans media have taken in the coverag. "the wall street journal" reporting espn anchor has told management that she believed she was excluded from a special network on the network that aired on the race last month because she was not considered by certain black colleagues to be an authentic voice for the black community. now, as the daughter of an army colonel, i know she has spoken,

she spoken out against kneeling for the anthem. so do you imagine it is rooted in that sentiment? >> there is no question about it. she has plenty black and this whole conversation about black enough is a joke. her issue is she doesn't have the right message. and the message that espn wants and it's black employees wants is all one-sided. and you can only have one point of view. it is really unfair for black people to put these types of limits on ourselves in terms of opening our minds to different ways of viewing the world. it is hard as a black person -- the thing i keep trying to explain and a lot of my columns on out kick is like, hey, are we evaluating things to our religious faith? many of us were raised christian. are we abandoning her christian

beliefs in order to be a to a political point of view that is inconsistent with their christian values? i don't know her all that well, but what i do know about her. we are friendly but i don't know her that well. what i do know about her, i think she does have some old religious faith and she stays consistent with those values. >> laura: good for her. >> to have that defined as not black enough is really frightening for african-americans. >> thank you so much for your perspective as always tonight, great to see you. up next and update from chicago and a heartbreaking sound bite. stay with us. taking it, we noticed clarity that we didn't notice before. - it's still helping me. i still notice a difference. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

>> laura: more tragedy striking chicago. at least 14 people were hurt in a shoot out while a funeral. this is how a witness the scene. >> heard gunshots and he said no, those are fireworks and i said they look like gunshots. so i said let's go outside and find out and we went on the

street and they were laying everywhere. everywhere, all of her. legs, stomach, back. all over. michael wore out here. >> laura: it's a war zone in one of our greatest american cities. look at the leadership, make better decisions. shannon bream, the "fox news @ night" team take it all from here. shannon. spin when yeah, laura, where getting more reaction from on the street from some police as well so we will pick it up really but, thank you, laura. we begin with a fox news alert. if the president vowing to send in federal officers to quell what he calls violent anarchist and soaring crime, tragedy striking again tonight in chicago. the president called it a war zone. 14 people hospitalized after a shooting outside a funeral home. 60 shell casings, may be on the scene. we got a live report in minutes and reaction from chicago police who say they have been under siege lately with little support from democratic locals and state leaders. plus the president -- in the
