target, books a million, barnes & noble, you name it, and we will be doing a virtual town hall tomorrow with newt gingrich, details on hannity.com. and 53 days, as of midnight tonight, two hours from now, you are the ultimate jury. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham is standing by. >> laura: hannity, you had giant numbers last night, congratulations, and congratulations for being the number one show in all television in august. >> sean: a little scary. >> laura: i think i forgot to tell you that. congratulations. >> sean: and you are right there beside me. all of us. this only happens for one reason. the american people make that happen. our viewers make that happen. >> laura: you bet. >> sean: the ultimate number one for me -- i am not sick of winning, laura. and 54 days, the stated agenda biden, kamala, and company, scares of the hell out of me -- >> laura: we are back at it. i'm giving a flashback, hannity, from june 2016 when you and i,

the only ones -- >> sean: you an and i and newt, we were in the bunker together. >> laura: and people are saying "i always knew and 2016 trump was going to win." okay, let's drop that pretense. anyway, sean, great george and i. >> sean: take it away. >> laura: i am laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. in moments, can do so when will tell us what the congressional black caucus has gotten all panicked about, and i'm going to take you also inside the privileged lives of some of the countries most deranged rioters, you won't believe what they look like. but first, dems declare war on fun. that is the focus of tonight's "angle." does joe biden look like he is having fun to you? >> it seems to me that there is things can and should change, because for the first time, unions are respected more.

my father was around general motors agency, he didn't own it, but he ran it, and cars are cars are cars. everything they've done has been designed, you know, the fact is, you know, wall street investors didn't bill this country. >> we are only about, i don't know, how many days out, less tn two months. this idea of "slow joe." [laughs] anyway. i shouldn't laugh about it, because -- anyway. >> laura: okay. that is just from the last few days. it kind of lines me of an elderly person who is being dragged around by relatives to events that he neither has the energy nor the interest in attending. he just looks miserable, and his handlers and backers want the

rest of us to be miserable, too. pelosi, schumer, cuomo, de blasio, mayor ted wheeler of portland, lori lightfoot in chicago, how much joy have they been spreading lately? >> sad time. so much going on. in my state of california, and then we have sadness of kenosha. >> the republicans are the enemy of the good. they are not wanted here. we haven't asked them here. in fact, we want them to leave. >> any school that goes over 100 covid-19 positive cases is going to be closed down to do remote learning. >> laura: at some point, all of these characters who are pulling the strings in the biden puppet show, they forgot that our declaration of independence guarantees not just in life and liberty, but also the pursuit of happiness. now, those rights are inalienable, meaning government can't take them away, or at least shouldn't be able to take them away, yet everywhere you look in blue state america, they

are trying to keep you from living, from exercising their freedom, from deciding your own path to happiness. oh, sorry, unless you are rioting against trump and systemic racism, in which case, you are free to set fires, beat people up, harassed diners and restaurants, or harass suburbanites as they sleep. now, i actually remember when california was fun. under liberal gavin newsom, though, they have gone from surfing usa to shut in usa. remember the hustle and bustle of new york city? broadway, the gallows, new york city marathon, the hopping restaurant scene. how many "i love new york" t-shirts, our vendors selling these days? democrats are like perpetual bad parents. they treat everyone like children and ground us for absolutely no reason at all.

these super-spreader's of despair absolutely hate the fact that americans in red states refused to submit and are choosing to live their lives. to go to school, to play sports, to go to work, and attend church on sunday. the latest lie of the anti-fun coalition is from a study claiming the sturgis motorcycle rally last month in south dakota was a reckless covid spreading ridgevent that resulted in 250,0 cases. in reality, 260 cases traced to the biking event, and an oft repeated lie goes unchecked. the media don't care about pesky facts and irritating inconvenient data. they merely exist to echo these kind of malicious falsehoods to damage trump and his allies. and they do all they can to ensure that fun is no longer an option for americans. so why are they doing this? because it's the opposite of

trump's plan. just look at how much fun trump and his voters were having tonight. >> open up your state, madam governor. open up the state. and tell your governor to open up your state. let's play big ten football, right? does anybody want to have somebody from antifa as a member and as a resident of your suburb? i don't think so. darling, who moved in next door? oh, it is a resident of antifa. no, thank you. [chanting "we love you"] >> laura: well, when you look at the faces in the crowd, these people were there because they wanted the freedom to pursue their own happiness, and if they

were enjoying themselves, but democrats, they hate this scene. these are people living their lives. they want to make all your decisions for you. it is all about power and all about control. they've worked hard to shut down schools, shutdown sports, they have proclaimed now that football is not essential. well, parents and players in connecticut, my old home state, disagree. [chanting "let us play"] >> laura: yesterday, high schoolers and parents finally decided enough is enough and delivered a powerful message to liberal governor ned lamont. it's too bad they can't all move to texas. we'll talk about that issue later on in the show. and as for school itself, well, the l.a. county public health director, dr. barbara ferreira, gave up the entire game about what they are doing with schools in this newly unearthed

audio recording about when schools might see in person learning again. >> we don't realistically anticipate that we will be moving to reopening k-12 schools, at least -- at least until after the election. it seems to us a more realistic approach to this would be to think we are going to be where we are now until we get -- until we are done with the election. >> laura: can you believe that? they are now admitting, probably didn't know that i was going to get broadcast, they are admitting this is all about politics until the election. i hope you in l.a. are a happy with your leaders feared we believe, though, and the pursuit of happiness. they believe in the pursuit of guilt. both sides believe in sin, i guess, but only one side believes in forgiveness. god may forgive you, but aoc never will.

remember this old '80s film classics? >> if he wasn't testing us, how would you account for the proliferation of rock 'n' roll music, with its gospel of easy sexuality and relaxed morality? >> laura: hollywood was portraying a middle american town as anti-fun, anti-dancing, but now liberal governors like michigan's gretchen whitmer and a big biden ally, against dancing, no large gatherings, keep your distance, kids, 6 feet, 8 feet, 10 feet, pretty much everything in the left's ideal world comes with a lecture these days. hey, kids, let's watch the local sports team. >> i think i'm just embarrassed, as a white person. >> this is what we, the players,

would like to hear. >> we, the national football league. >> condemn racism and systematic oppression of black people. >> it's hard to understand because i'm white. i have white privilege. >> laura: let's go see a show, or maybe a movie. >> always to stoke the fires of racism and bigotry and xenophobia. >> i don't expect this kind of white house to say anything to heal the nation. he's incapable of doing that. >> laura: let's read "harry potter." >> went on to encourage fans of "harry potter" not to let rowling's, and thrown it, "to all of those who feel their experience of the books have been tarnished or diminished, i'm deeply sorry for the pain these comments have cost you." >> laura: they are even going after j.k. rowling. who are these people to lecture

us on anything? they've lost most moral authority on most issues, and they've done so, for instance, when they sell out to the chinese communist party, or they became fanatics for abortion and gender morphing. joe biden has tethered himself to the new church of radicalism, which seeks to enforce its dogma on america by any means necessary. imagine being audited by biden's bureau of cancellation and condemnation. oh, it's coming. we can't give them the power to. it would be absurd. right now, you can escape new york and california and move to free states, where you would can retain your freedom to buy your own happiness. under president biden, though, there will be no escape. not only fun-free domination, and that is the "angle." as part of the left's campaign to punish americans, senate democrats today blocked another much-needed covid relief bill. democrats want you to feel the pain, choke you off from all

relief, all the way until the election. here to respond as house minority leader kevin mccarthy. congressmen, the anti-fun party, i never thought i would say it, the democrats always wanted to portray themselves as the anti-prudes, they are going to let you befriend determine your own destiny, but that is completely out the window and these blue states, including your own. >> i see it every day. but you know what is interesting, they don't want anybody to have fun or nobody to do anything, but they don't want to live by the rules. you watch nancy pelosi, nobody can get their hair done but her. we watch governor pritzker of illinois, no one can go anywhere but his wife. in michigan, the governor says you can't put the boats in, but her husband wants to. when -- you've hit it on the head tonight. if you believe an optimist, tomorrow is going to be better than today, they won't allow you and the democratic party. they want to make sure everything is shut down until after the election. somehow, science works after that time.

but the people have to understand that yes? >> laura: congressman, i just want to ask you, i want to get to your point, sorry to interrupt you, i want first to get your comment on that jus just-unearthed audio, our friends at kfi radio, barbara ferrer, l.a. county, health director there, saying schools can't foreseeably -- conceivably open until after the election. how do you tie covid until the election unless it is all political at this point? >> yeah, once the election passes, science will say covid goes away inside her mind. i don't understand that. they don't believe in this, and if you watch, everything has to stay shut down until the election. but what the sad part is, joe biden says he will continue to shut everything down. and if you watch what he is doing, look with the democrats did today. the majority in the senate actually voted to pass a covid bill to help america, but the

democrats despise this president so much they want to inflict pain. they would rather see america suffer none watch the president succeed at something. so they are going to bring more pain onto this country just because they despise him, and what's interesting -- remember what they called us last time, deplorables, and now they believe we are enemies of the states, not just me, you, everyone who believes and the pursuit of happiness, who believes -- you watch the contrast between the president's rally and four people sitting around joe biden, which america do you want? >> laura: no, congressman, it tromped tonight was in his element. he gets his energy off crowds. i'm telling you, this was the best rally i've seen and i don't know how long, probably all year, for sure, but he was having fun, he was very substantive on china, on nafta, which biden lied about again today. it was very substantive yet very

upbeat, and i think people want to see that joy again from their political leaders, you know, common sense on the virus and the economy and foreign policy, but joy. we are supposed to have freedom to pursue our own happiness. the democrats want to shut that down. >> you know, if you put that rally up with a roundtable with joe biden, you put no sound, people could pick easily where they want to be. but remember, joe biden has been in washington more than 47 years, and this is a true fact, joe biden has been in washington so long, when he first went to the senate, he served with people who were born in the 1800s, and now he claims that president bush tricked him into voting for nafta? well, that was a lie, because it was under bill clinton, and he voted for it. every time he says he opposed fracking, now he supports it. he doesn't know where he is at any given time. >> laura: we'v we thought john kerry was a flip-flop or in the 2004 election, right?

this takes flip-flopping to a new level. we actually have the videotape. congressman, republicans are trying to get relief to the american people. but democrats don't want to give it to them. thank you for explaining this for all of us tonight. great to see you. and while joe biden's mental decline is painfully clear, is there a better way to campaign against the former vp? my next guest says there is. it's a fact, for nearly 50 years, biden has been playing working-class americans were fools, so happily slap people in the back, working men and women across the country, but when back in d.c., well, he snuggles up to the lobbyists and political hacks that end up destroying the livelihoods of the middle class and shipping those jobs to china. joining me now, dinesh d'souza, conservative author and filmmaker and producer of two films coming out in the coming weeks, "infidel," we are going to talk about that next week "trump card."

dinesh, biden's frailty, issues here, mental decline, but his actual record is well-established. >> although we tend to focus on his mental incompetence, which is very visible and obvious to see, for most of his career, biden has actually, in the area of corruption, demonstrated great competence. and this competence has been the way he has orchestrated the corruption, pretty much everywhere he went under the obama years, he would take a family member with him. and this is a tale of three bidens, his brother frank biden, other brother james biden, his son hunter biden. so he took james biden with them to iraq, and james biden got a contract, a federal contract to build 100,000 homes in iraq, contract worth $1.5 billion. then, biden was made point man by obama for costa rica.

he went to costa rica, his brother, frank biden was in tow, and frank biden subsequently got green energy deal contract, even though none of these guys have any experience in these areas. when vice president biden went to china, he took hunter biden. while biden was having official meetings, hunter biden was making deals on the side with the chinese government worth $2 billion through the shanghai free-trade zone to get all kinds of investments in the chinese economy, including buying american companies and moving american jobs from places like michigan to china. so, this is the actual, long track record of corruption that has created gargantuan wealth for th the bidens. >> laura: here is what trump said today, dinesh, about joe biden's on hunter. >> it was revealed, a fund partly owned by joe biden son, hunter, facilitated the sale of a michigan auto parts dealer to a leading chinese contractor. biden spent his entire year

sending michigan jobs to china. china's military got manufacturing jobs and the biden family got paid a lot of money. >> laura: dinesh, isn't that the kind of story that needs to be told and retold? >> i think it is critically important, because the, biden knows he is under disclosure requirements. if he buys stock or gets a form contract, he is going to have to disclose it, but there are no disclosure requirements for family members. the chinese have a long-standing practice of extending deals to family members in exchange for favorable treatment from foreign leaders. biden recognized this. he surreptitiously became a part of it. so yeah, i think this is a powerful theme the trump campaign should look at in the days leading up to the election. >> laura: and dinesh, finally, on nafta, this is a very telling exchange between jake tapper and joe biden on his initial support of nafta. watch. >> when you ran for president and when barack obama ran for president, you both that you

would renegotiate nafta. you didn't. he did. does he deserve credit for that? >> no. remember, he wasn't the one to push that particular to pass, the house amended the bill. >> you renegotiate nafta, and you didn't, is the point. >> the usmca is better than nafta. >> it is better than nafta. >> laura: dinesh, ten seconds. >> here you have a guy, joe biden, who quite frankly doesn't even know where he is. he floats around -- he goes with whatever position he opportunistically says he needs, but i think behind what he is saying, the brain is at this point completely a blog. >> laura: all right, dinesh, thank you so much. and coming up, i am going to expose the faces of real privilege, those who are destroying our cities. plus, a new generation of radicals is taking over the congressional black caucus. candace owens tells us what it really means, up next.

bottom line is, mom's love that land o' frost premium sliced meats have no by-products. (his voice) "baloney!" (automated voice) has joined the call. (voice from phone) hey, baloney here. i thought this was a no by-products call? land o' frost premium. fresh look. same great taste.

♪ >> white americans are waking up to the privilege that they've had an saying that this is not right. >> for you to work with us for our liberation. >> i think it is particularly

important to understand that as white voter privilege because i want them to erode that privilege throughout their liv lives. >> laura: i want you to meet one of the products of that kind of woke up bringing. her name is clara craver. a white, 20-year-old, whose parents, one of whom is a columbia university professor, only $1.8 million new york city home and a second one in connecticut. now, clara reportedly attends rice university, where tuition is a whopping $65,000 a year, nearly 60% more than the average black family makes in a year, all of which claire apparently reviles, because she has decided to help black lives matter marxists trash in new york city in the name of racial justice. how does vandalizing businesses actually help black americans? i doubt even a committed anarchist like clara would know the answer to that. all she seems to know is that she needs to atone for her

privilege by destroying america. and she's not alone. the left has a long, illustrious history of convincing rich, college-educated kids to go out and commit crimes. so, what do today's revolutionaries look like? nypd released mug shots of clara and six others of her comrades who were arrested last week and after allegedly going on a storefront window smashing spree in the flatiron district. five of claire's partners in crime reportedly also have privilege backgrounds. first, there is frank, a 30-year-old ad man who currently owns a stately home in the beacon hills neighborhood. he was charged with rioting and possession of a graffiti instrument. then there is addie, a 20-year-old student at the $72,000 a year sarah lawrence college. after she lost her phone rioting, her mother quickly bought her a new one. got to make sure she can instagram all the storefronts

she destroys and smashes, i guess. and then there is clara, a fashion model, and her comrade in arms, who use to summer in europe, how lovely. finally, there is elliot, the son of famous comic book writers, both of homes have tv deals. do these sound like revolutionaries to you? or just privileged, poorly educated kids hell-bent on punishing the rest of the country over this concept they learned of white guilt? they didn't get this way on their own, of course, they are just products of bad parenting, bad schooling, and a poisonous ideology that has been propagated by the left for decades. one that, for many years, has peddled the idea that america is just a vile, racist, and irredeemable country that needs to be torn down and remade, now we are seeing the fruits of the left's labor of hate. and speaking of radical extremists, there is a rising

generation of far left democrats taking over the congressional black caucus, really? one of them is congressional candidate cory busch. 's she defeated the son of the cdc's cofounder, brett lacy clay, in last month's primary. after her win, she had this message for her future colleagues. >> we have to expand the squad. we are bringing, you know, a different flavor, bringing our progressive values, and standing on what we believe, and bringing our experiences. >> laura: here to walk us through it all of that means in the peopl, candace owens. how long will this drag people to the left? the squad getting a lot of wins across america. >> wright, the civil war rages

on and the far left -- it is they perfect political bedtime story, first donald trump of the republicans, democratic party leader cheered, he for the border control officers, i.c.e. agents, democratic party leaders cheered, now they are turning around, coming for the police officers, democratic party leaders cheered, and what is happening now? they're going to the democrat party leaders themselves and they don't know what to do, i miss it because they are realizing it is not the party of equality, to the party of entitlement, these are kids that live through absolutely nothing but want absolutely everything, and they are ready to take it by any means necessary, rioting, looting, burning things down from acting like toddlers. this is what happens when you can vandalize an entire generation of young voters. in my opinion, there reaping what they sell. >> laura: congressional black caucus member, jamaal bowman, laying out his agenda on msnbc back in june. >> we need bold, urgent action, similar to the new deal that was implanted by fdr.

we need a green new deal in this moment. our democracy cannot be healthy and cannot thrive with this level of racism and economic inequality existing within all of america's institutions. >> laura: candace, joe biden is aligned with these views, is he? >> absolutely, joe biden is aligned with anything he has to say to get elected, even though it is the exact opposite of what he said the day before. he aligned himself with these radicals the same way nancy pelosi falsely aligned herself with these radicals, like chuck schumer chuck schumer aligned himself with these radicals until they wake up one day and realize these radicals t the moderates. we are watching a literal civil war civil war happen amongst the democrat party, and they are not going to recognize this party by the end of the selection. there are a bunch of refugees, political refugees that don't know what this party is and what it stands for, and let me tell you, i believe that in november, all of those people are going to be voting for donald j. trump. >> laura: the corporate money,

candace, pouring into black lives matter, that is helping fund all of this. >> where is the money going? nobody can answer the question. when you donate to black lives matter, millions and millions of dollars, where does it go? there's no campus, no school, no office, no corporate structure. how they raise billions and not be forced to tell you where the money is going. it is her markedly suspicious. we have an idea of where it going. we don't know why they are able to protest 9 to 57 days a week, sounds like a full-time job to . >> laura: cut off the money, find out who is funding it, ending up in all of this destruction of the country. candace, so great to see you tonight, come back soon. >> thanks, laura. >> laura: still ahead, why isn't the media telling the truth about what is going on with covid in europe? we are going to tell you. and high school players and parents, i talked about this a little earlier tonight, are up in arms over blue states shutting down football. one of those players and his dad are here with me next.

♪ >> would you be prepared to shut this country down again? >> i would be prepared to do whatever it takes to save lives, because we cannot get the country moving until we control the virus. >> so, if the science of saying shut it down -- >> i would shut it down. >> laura: the idea that more lockdowns are the answers to covid is a discredited fever dream. case in point, the little reported news that the european union has once again become the world's covid hot spot. yesterday, the e.u., u.k., norway, iceland, liechtenstein, reported 273,000 cases, compared to -- and you can see in the charts, the europe caseload is declining while i was in decline. joining me now is president of the committee to unleased prosperity, a couple of issues here, but the left held up europe and its 90 lockdown as a

paradigm of how it should be done, and biden went on to basically echo what erupted and promise lockdowns in the future. what would that do at this point to get control of covid? >> it would have zero benefit in terms of controlling the spread of the disease and be -- that should clearly be the lesson from europe. look at how wonderful their lockdowns work, it was all worth it, even though they had mass devastation, cases went right back up, anyway, and accomplish nothing, for all that it cost. >> laura: you look at the world vomit or website, which is my go-to , but deaths in europe, just like the debts in places like arizona and texas, where they seem to come close to herd immunity, if not already at herd immunity, they are very, very low compared to the peak, every death is tragic, but the death

and hospita hospitalization ratt is the key metric, isn't it? >> tha much lower morbidity thee saw in march and april. that certainly is a huge positive, and i think that is related to the fact they are not in lockdown, not in panic, they don't have massive anxiety and disarray and people overflowing into hospitals with fear and anxiety, and may be being put on ventilators when they shouldn't be from other mistakes being made. i think the president was right when he said he want to be calm in a crisis or not panic. when he said he want to be calm we are handling things much, much better now without that. >> laura: barbara ferrera, l.a. county health director, was caught on tape at a conference call with nurses from various schools and other officials, when she was pressed about when schools could reopen, she says,

oh, it is not conceivable until after the election. how is that a metric for determining when schools should open? what does that show us about all of this, phil? >> laura, that is the most honest health official in america, because all of them are using this for politics. the school closures, you know, they are extremely damaging to children. we are punishing and harming the people leased at risk and essentiallatessentially, statiso risk, greater risk at school than at home, yet we are punishing them, why, other than to paralyze society and try to score political points, and the only difference between that health official in all of the other ones doing the same thing is she didn't know you are not supposed to say it. >> laura: yeah, virginia, d.c., all of these places, all of these schools should be open -- i think it is child abuse, i'm going to say it. its child abuse. phil, thank you so much, i really appreciate it. and as i mentioned in my

"angle," the left just doesn't want you to have any fun, at all. the latest example, the decision by the connecticut interscholastic athletic conference to cancel high school football this year, despite a huge decline in new cases since may. in fact, only 89 new infections were reported in the entire state of connecticut yesterday, and zero deaths. now, given these numbers, it is not surprising what happened next. high school players, coaches, and parents stormed the state capital -- it's about time -- to demand a football season. [chanting "let us play"] >> laura: joining me now is one of the players who kick started this entire movement, josh, a senior, and his father, greg. josh, there are those who will say football isn't essential, if there is any risk of any spread,

it's too much risk, and you shouldn't go back on the field. what do you say to them? >> football is definitely essential to many players and al around the country. football helps with mental health, a good stress relief, it just means a lot more than just playing the game, it is really a brotherhood, and i just think you can't take something away like that from a kid. >> laura: and greg, we have breaking news tonight that the governor, perhaps, heard you all and is scheduling a meeting tomorrow with officials to re-examine when sports can open in the state. we hope that decision is in your favor, i used to play field hockey and softball and basketball in high school, so i know how important sports are two young people. but what do you say to parents across the country who have been silent in the face of this lockdown of sports. >> just like anything else in

today's world, you'v you can't e silenced, you've got to voice your opinion. ever and has comments, concerns. michigan addressed it a month ago and they were able to get their state overturned and reinstate the game of football. >> laura: and josh, you are a senior. and i assume you want to go on to college. how does this affect your and other players abilities to perhaps play at the collegiate level, if you can't play football this fall? >> well, my senior year would be a great year to get added film and send it to college and help, hopefully. obviously, junior year is the most important in terms of that, i already handled my business and turns back, and definitely looking to get some filament help my chances playing college, and for all of the juniors at my school and her on the state, they are looking to get the recruiting process started. >> laura: everyone across the country -- i know, greg, you know this, if you are the parent of a student athlete, that just

requires so much dedication and resolve, and we should be encouraging more of that, not less of it. greg, final thoughts? >> absolutely. there are ways to mitigate it. dr. fauci even reported today, case rates in greenville below 5%, kids should be back in school, 100%, they should be back playing sports. right now, less than 1%, all of the students and athletes are masking up, practicing social distancing, football where is the most year of all of the contact sports. soccer, hockey -- >> laura: yeah, there is a risk in football -- there is a risk in any sport, there is risk in life, and i couldn't be more proud of you, josh, for helping spearhead this effort. in my old home state, and i hope everybody across the country isu did and i hope for a good result from you. go louis mills, you guys take care. >> thank you, laura. >> laura: and still ahead, a

wounded army that is demanding democrats stop using his image to prop up their anti-trump adds. he joins me in moments for an "ingraham angle" exclusive. you don't want to miss this. so what's going on?

i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh...i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 8 million dogs. nice. and...the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no...itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chance of developing serious infections and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to worsen. do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea.

feeling better? i'm speechless. thanks for the apoquel. aw...that's what friends are for. ask your veterinarian for apoquel next to you, apoquel is a dog's best friend.

>> stop using me for your propaganda. for your agenda. i don't know what trump said, but i'm sure he didn't call me a loser. i didn't hear him call me a loser. stop using my image. >> laura: the man you just saw it as bobby henline, an iraq war vet, who did four tours of duty and is the lone survivor of an ied blast in 2007. you would think his admirable and heroic service would earn him some respect from the left, but instead, they are using him as a pond to try to hurt the president by pushing now a widely disputed and anonymously sourced story from "the atlantic" that alleges the president trump made disparaging marks about our fallen heroes, wounded war vet bobby henley joins me now exclusively. bobby, what bothers you the most about all of this, the democrats using your image without your consent, or the fact they attacked the president with it? >> there is so much to this, you know, without the consent, attacking the president with

lies, it is just unnecessary, it's wrong in so many different ways. you know, mrs. mental health awareness month in september, and we talk about 22 veterans a day killing themselves, they did not know who the person was they used in that image. i saw their comments, they didn't know who i was. what if i was out having a depressed month, isolated because of covid, i'm depressed about life, looking on social media, and i see that the president called me a loser? how am i going to take that? i am already in a depressed mood. they don't know what situation that veteran is in, and they just throw the picture out there like that and they don't know how it's when to affect them. i could have been a veteran who just killed themselves last we week. and here it just reminds the family about it, and you throw it out there. there are so many things that could have gone wrong with this.

so, i'm glad they got my face out there -- not something i wanted to do, i'm not a man of fancy words or anything, but it is wrong to do that type of thing, and we've got to get it stopped, and that is my main purpose, is you've got to look on there, if you see a post like that and that person's name is not in the caption and they are not tagged on there, most likely, they don't know about it, so please report it, don't share that stuff. >> laura: we are going to keep this -- i want people to continue to see you and the images of your tours and your heroism. but i've got to ask you, tammy duckworth herself a wounded vet, a hero in her own right, responded to the bogus allegations against trump. watch. >> apparently, i too am a loser and a soccer in trump's books, but that is good company for me to be in, with men and women who laid down their lives to defend this great nation. he doesn't understand honor and duty and loyalty because he

himself has never had those actions himself and his own personal conduct. it is shameful he is the commander in chief of this military. >> laura: bobby, a lot of folks out there taking tammy duckworth's words as gospel. >> no, don't. the sources are anonymous. don't spread the lies anymore. if they were true, they would say, this is my face, this is me, this is what i heard him say. no one is coming out and saying that. general kelly, they were there. >> laura: bobby, bobby, we are going to continue with you next week on the mental health awareness issue. thank you so much for joining us tonight, and thank you -- >> appreciate it, thank you.

>> i didn't think twice about it, it was basic training three weeks later. right then, i left, and i got to --

>> donald trump gave supporters in michigan tonight a rare glimpse of his soft side.

>> don't say that, i will start to cry, that won't be good for my image. you don't want to see me cry. >> laura: actually, it's okay to show that side of you, et cetera quite charming. that's all the time we have tonight. it shannon bream and the fox news at night team take it all from here. shannon. >> shannon: we will have more highlights from not coming up. thank you so much. breaking tonight, the president may take executive action to move forward with coronavirus release after the democrats blocked the package. what's next for the white house? it sarah sanders destroys us live in minutes it has been doing, john macarthur and legal aid is working on the case. we are tracking high profile in portland, wait until
