doing a live virtual book signing you can find all the details, it's on hannity.com. but i want you to watch all of laura ingraham and we will still be here when laura's show is over. we love her show. let not your heart be troubled. laura? >> laura: i'm still waiting for my signed copy. perhaps you can send me one and then you can also do yourin virtual signings. i mean, what am i? chopped liver? i still don't have my books. >> sean: i sent it to you! it's been embargoed until today. it'll be there tomorrow. >> laura: i had you on the show last night and it embargoed for me? thank you, hannity. >> sean: all of the incremental fans, i want you to watch all of laura's shows, i want you to not miss a second. >> laura: awesome show and congratulations on the book. number one!

unbelievable. congrats.. have a great signing. >> sean: i'm grateful. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from another busy washington. montgomery county, maryland, officials continue to park at and religious schools, feignings concerns for their health on this reopening of schools question. on the video you aren't going to see anywhere else, county officials throw down the race card to try to silence parents who want the school open. independent generalist andy ngo has documented the chaos in portland for years. he traveled all the way to capitol hill to give his first-hand accounts. what was the reaction from democrats? he's going to tell us h exclusively and he's really mad. you don't want to miss that. but first, the real covid record. that's the focus of tonight's angle. for months now, the media and frankly most democrats have been acting as though president trump

is directly responsible for every case of covid-19 in the u.s. back in march, the angle like many were dismayed that the cdcc initially mishandled the testing. thankfully today we lead the world in testing. >> we do more testing than anybody in the world. if you look at india, they are at about 11 million and we are at 61 million. what we do is incredible with the testing and we want to be able to test specifically the people who are the most au in the most danger, the most in need. >> laura: excellent answer and the constant belittling of the administration's efforts is deeply unfair and almost entirely political. we are going to set this record straight. we start with the biggest lies peddled by the left. first, that the president doesn't take the pandemic seriously. >> let's not forget he

downplayed the virus for months. >> what has happened here is donald trump has downplayed this virus since the beginning. speak of this man is determined to keep down his golf handicap, not the number of cases making us sick. >> the president said the virus is a hoax. >> laura: while the democrats are hyperventilating over the bogus impeachment hearings and the media was bemoaning anti-china bias in the reaction initially to the virus, the administration created a covid task forest january 29th. a few weeks later he ordered a public health emergency and ordered any u.s. citizens traveling from china to quarantine for 14 days. february 22nd, trump's travel ban for china went into effect, then the president went on to ban travel from europe. a lot of people unhappy with that. both of those actions have been applauded by the left's biggest

hero. >> were you involved in working with president trump on deciding to ban flights from china. >> yes, i was. ultimately we saw spread in europe and the president recommended that we extend that to europe, did you think that physicians save lives? >> yes i do.id >> laura: bingo. the white house didn't do enough to alleviate the medical supply shortage. speak of the country facing yet another dangerous shortage of ppe and medical equipment supplies. >> right now this country cannot beat coronavirus without more ppe. we had a shortage. >> we had to reset, surge in cases, long lines, and london of ppe and trump doing exactly what ahe did in march and april whih is to minimize. >> laura: the president invoked ththe president wisely used the

act only when businesses didn'tu voluntarily devote assembly lines to producing ppes, ventilators, other much needed supplies. when andrew cuomomo projected, they needed as many as 30000-40000 vents, we told you that figure was absurd, but the white house kicked into high gear and the way. there was a mass mobilization of resources, including setting up field hospitals in new york and using may be navy ships that were hardly utilized. it was all done to ensure the tri-state area's hospital system didn't ultimately collapse.t? and guess what? it didn't. and when we were three months out from a presidential election, andrew cuomo regularly acknowledged the billions in help. speak of the president brought in the army corps of engineers that build 2500 beds at javits. these were extraordinary efforts

and acts of mobilization. and the federal government stepped up and was a great partner. i'm the first want to say it.d we needed help and they were there. >> laura: just yesterday he waste trashing me on the trump administration very nice going, and d. this whopper, speaking of new york, that new york is somehow the gold standard for the rest of america. >> they've been flat line the last four weeks. that's an example of what can be gone done. >> he did at the right way from march 11th. >> not do this if you want language, but firm language. life-saving mandates by our leaders. he clearly was listening to his health advisors. >> laura: unlike the liberal media, numbersbe don't lie.ie we hear a lot about florida, arizona, texas not following in cuomo's footsteps. but look at this chart. the death rate per 100,000 in new york is over three times the

death rate in arizona. nearly five times the death rati in florida. and over six times a death rate in texas. no wonder new york's top health official resigned today. when the media harps on our covid death numbers, national numbers, they failed to mention the states with the highest numbers. >> new york had a very tough time, as you know. new york, new jersey. when you take that out, our numbers are amongst the lowest. >> laura: the president loves new york but the notion the states should be taking advice from governor cuomo or anyone, frankly, who presided over the disaster in the empire state, is just absurd. fourth live. the left falsely blames trump for the economy tanking last quarter. >> the handling of the coronavirus pandemic is not good for the president. that is bad news for the economy. >> decimated our economy.

>> our economy's worst drop ever. ever, okay? 32.9%. >> laura: the last claim you heard about u.s. gdp.9 strengthening 32.9% in the second quarter this year is insanely misleading. while it's technically true, the figure represents an annualized number. it was the amount of a decline that would take place over a year if trends from the second quarter continued. would only happen if we followed biden's recommendation tore shut down the economy and keep kids out of schools, thus parents out of works. on a nonannualized basis, the decline from q1 to q2 2020 was only 9.5%. that's still a staggering loss, don't get me wrong. but when we can actually quickly recover from if trump is able to continue with his pro-freedom agenda.no of course, once you dig into the numbers, it's easy to see which

states are holding back a full-fledged recovery. the blue ones! nevada and hawaii have an excuse because of the problems resulting from tourism, but why are all these other states on this list still doing poorly? because they failed to take president trump's advice and rather trusting their people, they imposed drastic lockdown measures that had catastrophic economic consequences while doing very little to stop the virus. it is also worth remembering where this virus came from: china. why aren't democrats clamoring to hold them accountable for unleashing this play on the world after they initially tried to coverri it up? for that matter, why are democrats pushing for more funding to theg w.h.o. which aided and abetted china's lies? for fly. >> despite the dismal performance of locked down loving blue states, democrats still complain that we didn't follow europe's lead in the

handling of covid. >> we did not wait to crush the curve in europe. they did the exact opposite. >> compared to europe, we have to get our virus under control like they did before we can start reopening schools. >> the number of new daily coronavirus cases in the united states than those in europe. it shows just how much worse the outbreak has been in the united states. >> laura: looking at the numbers, you have to remember that the u.s. is an enormous country with about 230 million people. when you add the populations of germany, britain, france, italy, spain, and belgium, they are together have almost 336 millio people. that's roughly equal to our population. first off on testing, we have performed better than those six european western countries. they have done 42.8 million tests for covid-19. we have done 59.9 million.

since we've performed more many tests, we can't really do an apples-to-apples comparison on confirmed to be 26 test numbers but we can look at deaths. we have suffered, we 768,000 deaths, a horrific tragedy. the six european countries combined have suffered roughly 159,000 deaths. an equal and horrific tragedy. likewise, are death rates are lower than many of our european counterparts. belgium, the u.k., spain, italy, have seen way worse death rates than we have. france is only doing slightly better than we d are in terms of deaths as well. but we also have to recognize is the u.s. is a massive country. if you break it down by state, it's clear that democrat states are the reason that the death rates are so high. just happens to work out that way, right?y we can also say that our economy has done significantly better than europe's.

remember the u.s. economy fell by 9.5% on a quarterly basis. the eurozone, the economies of all the nations that use the euro, fell by 12.1%. even germany suffered a decline of 10.1%. but aren't the europeans going to do better than us going forward? not what investors think that let's look at how the key stock indices have done since the beginning of the year. in other words, investors are not betting that western european companies are more valuable than their american counterparts. if anything, their bets are all the other way. so we performed a 17 million more test than our counterparts in e western europe. we have roughly the same number of deaths. our economy, though is much stronger. and investors have more confidence in our outlook going forward. but while these figures clearly show the u.s. is doing very well by comparison to our allies in europe, they don't give

president trump enough credit. because the u.s. figures are distorted by the poor performance of many of the blue state governors. here are the facts. the u.s. as a whole suffered 48 deaths per 100,000 from covid-19. but seven states have suffered deaths a rate higher than even spain did. you see the catastrophic results ofoo poor local governments, especially in and around new york city. new york death rate was two and a half times worse than spain. in the meantime, we should all be grateful that during this unprecedented crisis, president trump has insulated most of the country from the disastrous top-down policies and lockdowns and looting, frankly, the democrats seem to want to look the other way on. thank goodness. and that's the angle. and the part two tomorrow night, we are going to journey through the crisis as it could have unfolded under the leadership of joe biden. but joining me now is a governor

who refused to give into the left's demands of lockdown requests, governor kristi noem of south dakota. governor, great to have you on tonight. you have been lambasted in the press for not stripping your residence of their basic freedoms and their right to work and go to school. but here we are about six months into this pandemic in south dakota still has a death rate of 11 times lower than new york's per 100,000 people. amazing. >> we are doing very well, laura. that's the story that needs to be told. i trusted my people, they trusted me, they took personal responsibility for dealing with the virus, and we are doing very well. not only do we have one of the lowest death rates, we have got about 40 people that are in the hospital statewide. our infection rates are low. our job losses are low. our economy is doing better virtually than any other state and i think the real testimony to what could've been possible

in many other states, the governors just made the wrong decision. >> laura: despite this overwhelming evidence, governor, including from your state, the left is still urging national lockdowns. watch. >> lockdowns work. quarantines work. isolation works. wearing masks work. contact tracing works. we aren't doing them. if we would lockdown hard for six months, we could get the case testing down so our contact tracing was enough to actually control it. >> laura: governor, your state proves this is just not the case we don't needd to strip theth people of their freedom to fight the virus. >> what works is washing your hands.nd making good decisions. i think what we are seeing there is encouraging leaders to make the citizens where they will overstep theirep authorities ina time of crisis. that's how we lose this country,

laura. that's exactly what's happening, we are allowing them to take control of our country in the way we haven't seen before. we need a few people to stand up up, read our history, talk about the importance of our constitution, and the fact these governors need to recognize that they need to uphold the freedoms we hold so dear and allow those people to take care of our families and make the right decision and deal with this virus much like we do every other challenge that comes our way and americans tackle it together. what i'm frustrated by -- go ahead. >> laura: what would've happened to your state's economy had we listened to this dr. hazel stein or any of these other officials, neel kashkari at the fed, i don't know why he's in as expert on this. what would happen to your economy and people? >> we would be devastated. families would've lost their homes. we would've seen so many more people still continue to get sick, still be hospitalized, but

they'd bewo doing it with less resources to take care of each other and less of an ability to really go forward and provide for their families. that is the challenge here. our state is so diverse, we have very urban areas but we have a also very rural areas and a blanket approach doesn't make sense for the entire state of south dakota. it doesn't make sense for this entire country. that's why we need local leaders to trust people in their communities to make the decisions thatat work best for them. we also need them to be optimistic, laura. this negativity we hear from leaders and doctors about how terrible the situation is in our country? we are in a good spot. we are driving down our death rates. the virus is moving across the country but we are taking care of people. they are getting the resources, the administration has helped governors respond to their people. i worry about these kids and turn on the news and hear their parents talking about being scared and hearing news anchor is talking about being worried and doctors...de

we wonder why our kids aregl struggling with anxiety. let's be optimistic. >> laura: there is concern about this big motorcycle rally that's happening this weekend in south dakota and we don't have to play the sound bites, all on television, the cable news, how dare you, it's going to become a super spreader event, governor. look at all those people. look at how they gather. >> we've had several big events and south dakota already. we've had the first spectator attended professional sport, the professional bull riding was held in south dakota. we had the july 3rd event and saw no increase in cases because of that crowd that gathered to celebrate our country's freedom cand independence.ng we had been gathering back to normal for a few months here in south dakota. we know we can have these events, give people information, let them protect their health,ro but still enjoy their way of life and enjoy events like the sturgis motorcycle rally. we hope people come. how economy benefits when people come and visit us.

>> laura: lucky residents and citizens of the great state of south dakota, we are stuck in the d.c. l metropolitan area wih horrible leadership and, governor, we wish you the best of luck this weekend in going forward and check back with us soon. >> thank you, laura. appreciate it. >> laura: charges of racism and claims that parents who send their kids to private and religious schools don't care about kids getting infected or teachers are or any of that. some of the outrageous moments that came out of this one montgomery county, maryland, meeting as they try to shut down in person teaching. we have the latest explosive developments with a parent helping sue the county. stay there. this isn't just a wifi upgrade.

♪ >> lau >> laura: last night, we told you about these petty little tyrants runningiv montgomery county, maryland. they tried to force private religious schools to close to in person learning. this is a naked power grab to appease the teachers union and punish people that were trying to escape the county's insane public school closure. despite an emergency order from maryland governor larry hogan to block that move, county officials claim today they can still stop them from reopening. >> if there are any outbreaks,

for lack of a better term, at eny of the independent schools, what is that relationship like between your office, the department of homeland security, and those schools. >> even after the governor made the announcement regarding schools, the local authorities still retain as it pertains to an outbreak the ability to close a particular school. >> laura: here to respond, luisa a lawsuit just filed by parents to keep the county from closing private schools, a few catholic schools also join the lawsuit. this council meeting will play more in a bit is terrifying. you couldn't really have in time anand an comments come alive commons. these are the type of officials making decisions for our kids, how far do you think they'll go and what is -- how do they define an outbreak? is it one person testing

positive without any symptoms, shuts down a whole school? >> thank you, laura. it's a pleasure to be on your show tonight for this overreach of the local government in montgomery county. absolutely right, we are gettint information that dr. gale is planning on challenging the lawsuit. he seems intent on defying the governor's order, the clear order that came down yesterday stating publicly multiple y tims that he doesn't care what the governor says. it's important to note, laura, that the health officer is actually as state officer. he is paid by the state, jointly appointed by the state, and he is required by law to carry out state policy. right now, he's plainly insubordinate to governor hogan. and he has... governor hogan has clearly articulated the state policy here and so has the superintendent of schools.

>> laura: right. teresa, you just mention him so everybody knows who we are talking about. montgomery county's top health official dr. travis gail. here is what he said at this council meeting today. watch. >> low transmissions in cases, it's eight or nine cases a day? we are not there. w the principle we are trying to get folks to understand is that in order for this to be done safely, it needs toe be done ina setting of low community translatintransmission. >> laura: where is he getting these numbers? 8-9 cases per day in a county of 1.1 million where kids can go to school? i don't know where he's possibly coming up with this. it's absurd. >> wright, laura. i think everyone is confused. dr. gales is saying he's relying on your data. we have yet to understand what that means.

the order came friday night under the cover of darkness. he did not share it with the schools on how he came to this conclusion. we don't understand what he is really saying when he says we are relying on that, those numbers, because you are right, the population in montgomery county is over a million people, so to have a low rates, eight cases a day, is virtually impossible. which means the schools would never reopen. it's unclear. one of the council members todae sent him a letter asking him those questions, which is really telling that these council members idea. the data that he was replying -- excuse me, relying on. >> laura: no. i've got to play this before we go. one montgomery county councilman didn't hide his complete disdain for independent schools. watch. >> he has stated for some reason it's okay for children in private schools to be more at risk than it is for children in

a public school. is there heightened risk associated with groups of people coming together that then can become super spreaders that, oh, or independent and privateva schools, you can do whatever you want to do, it's a big mistake? >> un >> laura: that councilmember is basically saying private school parents: parochial school parents, they don't care about their kids safety? how did they get elected? i have no idea. >> the problem with the argument is that public schools could've peopened as well. that was a decision by montgomery county public schools who asked the union's particular situation. private schools have always had the right, even dating back to march when governor hogan and the superintendent of public schools within the state, the superintendent of education said inio march that the school had o close. that order only applied to

public schools and the governorn and the superintendent said private schools, you have the right to determine, the absolute right to determine whether to remain open or closed, but at that time given the situation and the stay at home orders that were in effect, the school is closed. we are in a much different place, but this order was unilaterally decided by this director of health who just doesn't have the power to make that decision. >> laura: just one sentence from you, to parents watching this across the country who are facing a similar edict handed down from an unelected official, but an appointed official. your method to message to them, one sentence. >> my message of them would be to continue to fight and there is a lawsuit filed in federal court. likely going to be a hearing soon, injunctive relief, we are seeking. you cannot defy it and let

people decide your children who you have your fundamental right to decide their best interest. >> laura: so you are going to fight. we've got to go. but the message, we've got to fight. we cannot accept these unconstitutional, illegal, unlawful, and arbitrary overbroad edicts from appointed officials. it's outrageous. these rights are inalienable that we have. thank you very much. to make matters worse for this left wing county, the teachers union is demanding a host of ridiculous conditions to be met before they even go back to work including police free schools, canceling all rents and mortgages, a moratorium on new charter or voucher programs, and massive taxes on billionaires on wall street's to fund schools for joining me now is the author of "the iron triangle." notice o none of those demands have anything to do with actuallyly teaching kids, and improving their education?

>> this is what the democrats do, laura. they've been doing it ever since they are a party. they have a symbiotic relationship with blm and the democratic party, the teachersde union always working together to do one thing and that's to try to defeat donald trump this fall. they have crashed this economy, they will bring the cities, now they are holding parents and children hostage until they get what they want. this is marxism 101. they care nothing about these children. they care nothing about these parents. and if anybody is doubting that the democratic party and these union hold the american people in utter contempt, lookk at what they are doing right now? >> laura: vince, here's what one montgomery county council member or members said about the critics of this health official said. >> i want to talk about how some of our community has treated you for the racism that exists when they start to question, oh, where did he go to school -- i hope that folks read up instead

of asking nonsense, you know come up with this guy is and what gives him the authority. >> vince, charging racism in a debate about school reopening? thousands and thousands of parents, a very diverse community, wealthy community, it's actually diverse. talk about shifting the story. >> if you want to start talking about racism, you need to go toe baltimore where there are schools there that no child is proficient in math or reading and they send those children to those schools every year knowing that they will not get an education. they are doing exactly what they are supposed to do. this is a plan. this is not a mistake.th the education they are giving black children is the education they want to give black change and because they can change it tomorrow if they wanted to. my book "iron triangle" talks about the black minister, the black civic organizer, the black politician working for these liberals to keep the black community exactly where they want them to be. as long as they get 90% of the black vote they are exchanging a

thing and they have always, always put themselves in a position where they've had to use terror, murder, and repression to get what they want in america. they don't try to pull the american people up, they try to bring them down. you know what? this is not going to work. we are going to survive this and we are going to fight through. >> laura: fins, i've never seen parents of all political persuasions as worked up as i've seen them in this montgomery county maryland case. i mean, mothers were crying, they'll do anything they can the fight, fathers getting involved, helping in the lawsuit. people are seeing through this and thank you for coming on tonight. and raising the fight flight here thanks so much. generalist andy ngo documented the chaos in portland better than anyone.e' in moments he is going to tell us exclusively about the alarming behavior from senate democrats today when he was there to tell them what's really going on there. guys, times are tough.

>> laura: a senate judiciary subcommittee held a hearing on antifa today and if you thought the democrats would disavow the violent anarchists, guess again. in fact senator dad crew is directly confronted one of his democratic colleagues, mazie hirono, asking her to condemn anti-file. here's how it went. >> i would note throughout her remarks still did not say a negative word about antifa and any democrat here. you are welcome to say something negative right now. >> i think that... >> she declined to speak, so that is the position of the democratic party. >> laura: my next guest says the has been reporting on antifa for years and experienced personally the brutality firsthand. not a single democrat senator asked him a question about the group. joining me now is journalist and

you, today's key witness and author of "unmasked." also with me is sara carter, fox news contributor, investigative journalist. this group sent you to the hospital with brain bleeds and that this grace of a senator, mazie hirono, can't even muster a question to you? or even a disavowal of the gro group? >> i came with low expectations already, the type of response i would get from democrats, i came out disappointed still. i think at this point we are at over 67 days of daily violent protests and riots in portland. all of that video of it showing the bombs, the explosives, the gunfire, the knives, the hammers, all that is evidence of organized militant black block violins, it isn't enough to condemn lawmakers, i don't know what it takes.

i think they've come now to not believe what their eyes see and what their ears hear. it's disappointing because the people who are going to suffer ultimately our law-abiding citizens and you can ask portland there is that, particularly those who live and work in proximity to the areas that are targeted. >> laura: part of what's coming out of all this is this effort to defund police, because police are the problem in this country. sara, this is for you. susan rice, possibly a vice presidential candidate said this today. >> we have a long history of inequality, of oppression, that indoors in this country. we need the police to be a part of the solution. in some instances they are and other communities they are not. there is no one size.

i am for a responsible of resources. laura: "reimagining the police." i would like to reimagine cities that don't have trash and graffiti and smash statues and rioting. should we believe anything that susan rice as at this point? >> we shouldn't believe anything she says because she has lied on numerous occasions, blatantly to the american people. i want you to think about what she's saying. we can see what has happened in new york city under mayor bill de blasio. i mean, crime has shot up over 170%. death and shootings alone. we see what's happening in seattle. we see what's happening in portland. much like her, democrats in the senate and the house, senator ted cruz said something very important in his opening statement, he called them cynical. i think it goes beyond that, laura, i think they are complicit. they are complicit in this

behavior. because they have this animus towards law enforcement, because they wants to defund these organization and because they call them stormtroopers like nancy pelosi said, it emboldens the rioters and it emboldens people who are against law enforcement to target our law enforcement officials and does put our communities at risk, especially communities in the most poverty-stricken areas, urban areas where we see children dying and people dying every day. there needs to be solutions. the solutions are not defunding the police though. >> laura: and i think they are almost using, andy, the rioters, the constant running mates of democrats, you know? they are trying to ride the energy and the chaos all the way to victory in november because i think they believe that we are so stupid that we think if you vote for biden, this is all going to go away. andy, this question is for you.

it is a vote for biden going to quell these types of anarchists? yes or no? >> no, not at all. you don't have to take my word about it, but you can look at their own literature and what they show and what they say, they call very clearly for the abolishment of the u.s. but in their vision there are no room for democrats, there are no room for liberals. so i don't know right now why the democrat lawmakers are so hesitant to be critical of antifa, maybe because they have fallen for the foolish believes that antifa are actually antifascist. >> laura: i think what they believe is, sarah, and helps them politically. if they thought it wasn't going to help them politically, they would put distance between themselves and antifa. but they are not going to do that, right? >> you are right, laura. they are not going to do that but the issue here is not only are they not going to do that but they are going to take this

wave, they are going to ride this wave and they can believe they can control this beast that they have fed, this beast they have allowed to grow, this marxist socialist beast that exists within their party. and what they don't realize is they have to look at history is that once they feed this beast and once they ride this beast to the top, it's going to eat them. they are done if they make this move. they are just done. andy is right. >> laura: andy and sara, fascinating conversation as always. thank you both. as joe biden starts to ramp up his push in texas, why would nearly half a million male in balance were just sent into houston? dan patrick here to tell us what's going on and what state leaders plan to do about it ne next. against pain than salonpas patch large there's surprising power in this patch salonpas dependable, powerful relief. hisamitsu.

♪ spear and remember, >> laura: remember, the democrats have a plan. they supposedly think they are going to flip texas and joe biden is stepping up his campaigning in the lone star state. instead of legitimate ground game and knocking on doors, could it involve liberal big city mayors and mail in ballotsb joining me now is texas lieutenant governor dan patrick. nearly half a million applications f for mail in balls have been sent in houston alone, which is a big democrat

stronghold. what is... how does this play out? is there a legal challenge to this and how does it look so far? >> first of all, to biden winning, laura, as buddy holly and john wayne both said, that it be thee day. we are fighting the democrats in harris county, travis county, dallas county, our big counties because those in charge of the election,re democrats, are sendg out ballots, the forms, to get mail in ballots, as you said in the houston harris county area, that's people who didn't even ask for them. when you look at both harvesting, when you look at the corruption in mail in votes. look, laura, the democrats love mail in ballots because they can cheat like hell. when this election is over, both sides are going to dispute the outcome because it's going to be close and these mail in ballots are going to be in question. look at new york, a judge allowed a thousand ballots a
