jasoninthehouse.com. thanks for joining us. sean will be back on monday. "the ingraham angle" is up now. ♪ >> laura: i am laura ingraham. this is the "the ingraham angle" from a still rocking washington. we will get right into it. a tale of two futures. that's the focus of tonight's "angle." you just witnessed two weeks, two party's conventions and two visions for america. all weeklong america saw a republican party that was hopeful and optimistic about the future capped off by a soaring address at any rate president last night. >> together we will write the next chapter of the great american story. over the next 4 years, we will

make america into the manufacturing super power of the world. the united states will be the first nation to plant its beautiful flag on mars. we will rekindle new faith in our values, new pride in our history, and a new spirit of unity that can only be realized through love for our great country. >> [cheers and applause]. >> laura: much to the dismay of the media hall monitors, our energizer bunny traveled to new hampshire. the contrast between him and biden is stark. >> we are in the most important election in our history. last night it was my great honor to accept the republican nomination for president of the united states. >> [cheers and applause].

>> we are going to win. i believe i have the honor of running against the worst candidate ever put up by the democratic party. >> [cheers and applause]. >> i believe he is the worst candidate, the slowest candidate, and i mean in prime-time he was the slowest candidate, which was a long time ago. prime-time. >> laura: in trump's america we believe the best is yet to come. this was said over and over by speakers at the rnc. it wasn't just rhetoric. they really mean it. and that buoyant sunny outlook was not from celebrities living behind walls and have handlers, but from every day americans who have always been the focus of trump's agenda for america.

>> president trump's economic boon helped farmers. >> when he sees something is not right, he is fearless in fixing. >> i was once told the only way i would be reunited with my family would be as a corpse. with the grace of god and the compassion of donald trump, i stand before you tonight and i am not a ghost. >> laura: the president didn't run away from covid. he ran toward the issue and talked about his own friends who have passed away because of the disease and the great strides we have made. the message we are pushing forward with medical innovation, and saved the hospitals, but it's time to open up and get back to school and pursue our american dreams. we have to.

on the other hand, at their convention, the democrats painted depressing and gloomy portrait of american life. did you know that you live in a horrible, rotten, awful country? >> we call out the since of this nation. slavery and racism. >> it's the effect of structural racism. there is no vaccine for racism. >> will we be the generation that finally wipes out the stain of racism from our national character? >> laura: the democrats were trying to convince you that poor old joe should be the president. they failed to deal with the violence in cities across america. the portland riots and destruction and looting in

chicago. did they think people would not see the video on social media of all of the burning? the democrats made a calculated decision not to address the violence and riots as long as they thought they would help them politically. the moment don lemon let it slip that some focus group was showing democrat voter erosion because of the unrest. joe and kamala harris tried to turn the titanic around. >> we must always defend peaceful protestors. we should not confuse them with those looting and committing act of violence. >> burning down communities is

not protests. it's needless violence that shutters businesses. that's wrong. >> laura: talk about desperate and delusional. too bad he and kamala harris didn't have an entire week to condemn the riots. wait, they did. trump offered assistance to every governor and every mayor grabbling with out of control violence. how did they respond? >> i want to assure the president seattle is fine. >> we have hundreds of federal troops descending upon our city. it's not helping the situation at all. they are not wanted here. >> mr. president, bringing those troops to our city, that won't happen in should go. >> we will fight with everything we have. donald trump and his minions are the architects of chaos in this

country. >> laura: it's trump? because they wanted the violence to go on joe biden claims. did he enjoy these scenes last night after the festivities ended. >> [shouting]. >> black lives matter. >> [shouting]. >> laura: i don't believe that poor old joe likes these scenes, but he's too weak to stop it. i think a lot of democrats are embarrassed about the party's unsavory alliances and outsourcing american jobs and placating china. they want mount rush more to come down? i don't think that. but it doesn't matter.

they show joe biden one of the weakest candidates in modern history as their nominee. and as victor said last night biden is a prisoner of his own paradox. he has no energy so he tried to ride the far left to victory on november 3rd. now that wave pulled him under and a riptide is drowning the democrats. they have nothing to offer the voters. they can't solve the violence problem and they are not expected to fix it. >> how can the democrat party asked to lead our country when it spends so much time tearing down our country? >> laura: they can't bring back jobs when their trade policies lead to more outsources. >> joe biden took donation from blue collar workers and then

voted to ship our jobs to china. china wants him to win. >> laura: the idea that joe biden will solve covid? oh, please. he said he will lock us down if the experts say so. that will lead to increased suicide, addiction and job losses. democrats's solution is to hurt kids by leaving him out of school and take away joys like playing football. that won't solve covid. but it will make our lives miserable. all democrats have left is two arguments. number 1, america is racist and number 2, trump is bad.

the rnc blew up that narrative showcasing stories from every day americans whose lives were impacted in positive ways by trump's america first policies, including african-american men and women. this outreach has the democratic ticket flum oxed. we saw in this today show interview of kamala harris. >> there seems to be a larger number of black men front and center. it would seem as if republicans, perhaps, see an opportunity here that democrats don't see? >> first of all, every vote needs to be earned. joe and i believe that. when we look at the condition of black men in america, we know we still have a whole lot of work to do. >> laura: wait a second. your party had decades to solve this problem and you falsely say republicans are racists.

trump was delivering results. democrats only know one thing, reverting back to the same old stale narrative. the democrats are the ones trapped in the past. it feels like you are stuck in a student sit in that never ends. look at what the voters are doing to people just trying to live their lives. >> put the mask on now. [bleep]. >> [shouting]. >> laura: it doesn't have to be this way. there is a normal world out there, and people in red states are back to living in that world. school, work, sports, church. fellowship.

i am really excited about america in 2021 and 2022. i think the silent majority is stirring. don't you? without covid trump would have won in a landslide. even with the virus, remember this, it's eventually going to go away or we will have better treatment. but it's no reason to toss america in a dumpster and set her on fire. that's what the democrats are doing to their own cities. they are at risk of being left behind for decade physical they don't make serious changes now. that's up to them but they won't stop us from living our god given destiny in reaching for the stars. they might have given up on america, but the rest of are giving her our all and that's the "angle." joining me is bernie, a former nypd commissioner. democrats think they can blame the president for antifa and black lives matter violence in their own cities even after they

rejected his attempts to help them restore law and order. how twisted is that narrative? >> pretty twisted. i want to touch on something. you talked about these cities and how the mayors are not doing their job. leaving the white house last night as i walked through the streets, as a police executive who ran the nypd, i was disgusted by the fact that there were cops in d.c. they were overworked and didn't have enough resources. they didn't have the manpower they needed. they were not in the right spots. no genius had to tell you that there is going to be problems at the exit gates of the white house.

there were hundreds of these lunatics out there, these antifa and black lives matter screamers. and yet, there was not enough enforcement at their spots to keep safe and secure. we saw that with rand paul and a number of other people who left the white house. it's crazy. is it intentionally? does the mayor actually deplete the department to let this happen? i was completely disgusted with what i saw last night. >> laura: lucky people were not badly injured. when you have that many people. you have a lot of hot tempers and you just have individuals who have to get to their hotel. they are walking one or two blocks or three blocks. this is america. they want to intimidate people away from going to trump rallies exercising their constitutional rights.

you try that outside of an abortion clinic, just praying there and they call you a domestic terrorists. >> these people were harassed and spit at and they were throwing things at them. they surrounded them. they would not let them pass. the criminal conduct and there wasn't enough cops to deal with. i am telling you, laura, i have to believe this stuff is intentionally. you look at what is going on in the other cities. is that happening there too? every one of these democrat run cities are responding the same way. why? i don't know, but i can tell you that what i saw last night was disgusting. >> laura: they knew what was going to happen. this is what one blm activist said about people holding trump

signs. >> everybody that came messing with us had trump signs. trump 2020. that's the new way they deal with racism in this country. it's time. this is a revolution. this is the revolution! >> laura: they are being explicit. they want a revolution. burn it all down. >> there is your answer. black lives matter. it's run by trained marxists. they are inspired by marxists. they have marxists convicted felons controlling their fund-raising. these are revolutionaries. they are militant revolutionaries. that's what is working the streets in these -- and i won't call them protests -- in these riots. >> laura: they are not protests. bernie, thank you very much. i saw you briefly last night on

the white house lawn. glad you got out of there. you have noticed the protestors in the streets are described as powerful and moving. while those that gathered to hear the president are called super spreaders. we will reveal the media's cynical game here in moments. ♪

♪ >> laura: probably no better illustration of the media's bias on covid than how they cover trump events versus left wing radical protests. this was president trump's speech to a live audience on the white house lawn last night. >> health officials across the country are mortified from what they are seeing from the south lawn which looks like a super spreader event. >> not shocked by the grotesque display that is against the law. super grossed out and really worried about the people who gather there had and put their lives at risk. >> it's the woodstock of germs. >> laura: how many of you think

they are really worried about their health? this is how the liberal media reacted to thousands of activists marching through d.c. >> a peaceful crowd. >> there is a beautiful scene behind me. this is the reflection pool. many, many people linking their arms and it was poignant and a powerful reminder. >> laura: joining me now is phil president of the committee to unleash prosperity and alex author of unreported truth about covid-19 and lockdowns. should we be surprised the press is playing this game? >> i hate hearing this stuff. can we talk about the science? the science is that outdoor events liberal, conservative, spring break or motorcycle rally. they really don't spread this virus.

this virus spreads indoor and with families and can spread in hospital and can sometimes spread in bars. of all of the public health measures, closing bars makes the most sense. this doesn't spread outdoors. i don't understand if these people don't understand the science or they are just playing games. it's frustrating after 5 months we are still talking about that. >> laura: you are charitable there to your old buddies in the media. they are not describing it accurately because they are stupid. a lot of them are smart but they are obsessed with defeating trump in november.

phil, i was at the white house last night. people were living their lives and that drove the left insane. fellowship and listening to trump. that's a nightmare for them. >> right. alex is right. we don't have examples of outdoor super spread events. 97% of those were indoor. the other 3% were a mix of indoor and outdoors. none that were exclusively outdoors. when there was a big push back that maybe the southern wave was caused by the george floyd protests, all of the media said no it doesn't spread outside. now they forget all of that and it's an excuse to attack president trump. >> laura: alex, when you look at where we are with the virus. i follow your tweets. you have been covering texas closely with the numbers there.

that was going to be the next new york, florida was going to be new york. everything was going to be new york. tell us about texas and i will share the news about how they are counting case there is. >> texas hospitalizations peak around 11,000. that was the end of july. they fell 60% as of yesterday. in houston and southeast texas which was the hub of the early spike. numbers are down further. i just looked up the florida numbers for deaths. deaths lag. they are going down. the epidemic is on its way out in a state. florida had 229 deaths on friday august 14th and it dropped 89%. without lockdowns. the only thing they did was push

masks and close bars. 6 weeks ago people on the left were screaming we need a harder lockdown. should governors gave it in. anybody who proposes that is nuts. if the democrats want to be the party of closed schools and open riots. i don't know how that works for them. >> laura: collin county in texas had to readjust their numbers down from thousands at one point. down by a multiple of that because of some type of unknown errors in reporting. do you expect to see more of that as time goes on?

>> the texas data is probably the worst data in the country. the test positivity number is meaningless and as is the number of tests run per day. their system was designed to process 40,000 tests a day. they have 100,000 so the backlogs keeps growing. they have pending assignment tests that have to go to the county. their numbers are meaningless. look at the hospitalizations. >> laura: those are down. gentlemen, great to see both of you. thank you very much. coming up joe biden fumbles and kamala fizzles. raymond arroyo breaking it all down in friday's follies next. ♪ ♪

♪ >> laura: it's friday and that means it's time for friday's follies. the democrats counter programming we go to raymond arroyo author of the spider who saved christmas. throughout the week, although they lot little coverage, the biden camp tried to rain on trump's parade. >> they did, laura. kamala harris gave a counter speech which we will get into in a second. but they tried to offer the guy at the top of the ticket, because they realized they were in trouble pushing kamala out too fast. biden two interviews from his beach house. it's clear these are not so much interviews as read aloud story time with a script involved. watch. >> the country will be safer when he is no longer in office. i want to root out systemic racism. trying to get rid of the

obamacare act and take people with preexisting conditions and move them where they can't get coverage. coverage will be lost for so many. >> it's like he is doing a bad audition for the revival of the west wing and never read the script. did you notice that ear tug if i don't know if it's somebody speaking into an earpiece or a sign of distress. it's when he loses his way in an interview. watch for that little ear tug. watch these back-to-back interviews, laura. this is biden quoting kellyanne conway and he does this unexpected discovery of this quote routine but he does it over and over again.

>> kellyanne conway came out and she was very blunt. he said the more violence equals a better choice-- excuse me. better for a very clear choice. >> [laughing]. he just read it. it's sad. >> laura: look what i have here. i just found a quote. i just read it 5 minutes to your colleague, but i just found it. >> right. he loses his way. they have the script right there before him. hello, laura, it is great to see you. if only he would be a better candidate. this is what his interviews are like. you see why pelosi is calling for an end to presidential

debates. they fear putting him opposite donald trump. >> laura: they don't have confidence in him so kamala harris they sent out to do the pre-buttal to trump on thursday. >> here's the thing, donald trump's incompetence is nothing new. that has always been on full display. but in january of this year, it became deadly. that's when the threat of a virus that would endanger the world first emerged. >> i give her points for leaving the house. they finally have somebody on the team that can go out. you notice how she seems out of sync. kamala harris always had her groove this front of the kamala harris on the campaign trail. she is missing a beat marching with joe biden.

he's thrown her off in the same way sarah palin was thrown off running with john mccain. they didn't quite fit. we are beginning to see first impressions of that lack of gel as we move forward. >> laura: wait, i have something to say -- wait, are they talking to me in my ear? >> [laughing]. before we go, i have to mention the star studded fireworks finale at the republican national convention. after a series of testimonials by a woman who was freed from prison and a family whose daughter suffered at the hands of isis. donald trump accepted the nomination of his party. it was quite a moment. >> grit in their souls and fire in their hearts, there is no one like us on earth. america is not a land cloaked in darkness. america is the torch that enlightens the entire world.

>> there was a measured tone. people saw something very different from the president than we have seen in past days except for that mount rushmore speech. he was the commander-in-chief. i think it was a tone he needed to strike. it was emotional and caring. again he usually brings the fight and doesn't always bring the emotional reasons to explain the fight. that's what we heard. i think it touched a lot of people and maybe changed some minds. we will see. >> laura: i liked the beginning. i like to see the fireworks. we were behind a tree so i could not see them last night. they are really beautiful. i missed all of that? i loved it when he talked about his brother. he just buried his brother. lost his brother and a friend from covid. there was a poignant mood from donald trump.

>> i think the fireworks display. donald trump is talking about a return to normalcy and traditional american values. he didn't just say it. we saw it in red, white and blue and music. then you had the barbarians at the gates at the white house perimeter. banging drums with sirens and horns trying to interrupt. the contrast could not have been more stark for americans. it was an amazing moment. >> laura: i felt like we were hearing a dr. suess reading. [laughing]. >> that's my next book. >> laura: horton hears who a who are they out there? that's ridiculous.

♪ >> laura: after joe biden got virtually no post convention bump in the polls and was caught flat footed responding to rights. democrats are freaking. even trump's critic in the media have to admit that the president should expect a surge in support. >> i think it's important to note that i do expect there might be a narrowing in the polls after this filtered week. we still have many days to go and we will see if the president is able to stay as disciplined. >> laura: here is tom and lisa. lisa, this tightening we see, will it be more because of the effectiveness of the rnc or the democrats failure to define

themselves during their week of their convention? >> well, i think americans saw what the two parties stand far. they saw the realignment in both political parties. the republican party now is the party of hard working americans doing extraordinary things on full display. the democratic party is the party of the fringe left and the hollywood elite. president trump said joe biden for 47 years took donations from blue collar americans and told them he felt their pain and went back to washington, d.c. and voted. that video of new york city public housing resident the talking about how liberals gave preferential treatment over

black americans. >> laura: what the polling is looking like today compared to the same time in 2016. biden is leading trump by 3.5 points in wisconsin. in 2016, hillary left by 11.5%. biden 5.8% in pennsylvania and in michigan polls showing that biden is just up 2.6% where hillary led by 9 points 4 years ago. tom, does this tell you anything significant? >> well, it tells me that this race is far from over. the democrats went second last time around and hillary clinton got a bump from the convention in philadelphia. that doesn't last. this time around, a different scenario. the conventions are

back-to-back. they are being held virtually. what we saw from the limiting polling that came out. if you start from the day that the democrats started the convention, it's been len days. -- 11 days. joe biden dropped 1.3% in the top 6 battleground states. if you look at the betting averages which is interesting to focus on, biden started on the 17th ahead by 14.5%. it's down to 6. the people putting money on who they think will win are viewing

what they saw over the last 10 days favorably for trump and the republicans and not biden and the democrats. >> laura: two issues that attract sentiment in the public. football and schools. you see the divide red states and blue states how they treat both issues. talk about that educational component. >> when you look at certain places even a state like wisconsin, they don't want to hear joe biden talking about a national mask policy and also further lock down. you want hard working americans who want to go back to work.

they want their kids to go back to work. they want life to go on as normal. another aspect. even just the violence in places like kenosha, wisconsin, it matters. it matters because when you look at wisconsin, it's pivotal who will win the white house. kenosha is a swing county that went to president trump for the first time in 44 years to then candidate trump. where kenosha goes the state goes. you look at the milk media marks and the moms that president trump needs to win over, they are watching the local news and seeing what is going on. there should be no downplaying of the impact that will have on the electorate. that's something people should keep their eye on. >> laura: absolutely. tom, on the state by state senate races, david purdue the senator from georgia put out an ad linking his opponents to the unrest in the streets. watch. >> we need to send a message if you indulge this kind of politics, you won't just get

beaten. you will get beaten so bad you can never show your face again in public. we have had enough. absolutely enough of what we are getting from donald trump. >> laura: tom do you expect to see more of that type of add as we get closer especially in the key senate races? >> oh, absolutely. again, this is an issue that is going to move voters in a significant way. you will see the president and his team use this on ads in all of the swing states. you can bet there will be plenty. all of these republicans that are running for senate are also going to be tying their democratic challengers to it. the democrats have not done a good job of rebutting it and coming out. it started with joe biden. say this violence and rioting

and rooting won't be tolerated. they have not gotten there. maybe they will but not yet. >> laura: riots started at the end of may. tom and lisa, great to see both of you. coming up we have a big announcement about monday's show. don't want to miss that. stay there. ♪
