>> sean: four weeks from tonight, you are the ultimate jury. that's all the time we have left this evening, quick programming note tomorrow night. immediately following the debate between mike pence an and a senator kamala harris, we will be live with postdebate reaction and coverage. let not your heart be troubled, laura -- four weeks from tonight. >> laura: can you believe thi this? you and i have been doing this election night thing since 2,000 when the race was flipping, do you remember that 2:00 in the morning? >> sean: dimpled, perforate perforated -- >> laura: that's truly frightening. >> sean: hanging, swinging, shattered chads, i remember. >> laura: all i can say is it's all on the line for the country, people want to be locked down most of next year, they know to devote for.

>> laura>> sean: he's full of e, answers no questions, otherwise, he's a great guy. >> laura: trump is the one who is not transparent his health. fantastic show, look forward to following you at midnight. >> sean: start a little later but it's worth it, big debate tomorrow night. we'll be watching you now. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. white house advisor dr. scott atlas is here to fill us in on the president's recovery, plus he's going to explain how the administration plans to beat covid. also tonight, michelle obama unleashes in her closing argument for joe biden. dinesh d'souza on an invective filled diatribe and what it reminds us about the obama's. joe biden's stump speech today was short on substance and long on empty rhetoric. newt gingrich reacts plus he previews tomorrow's vp debate.

but first. unmasking joe, that's the focus of tonight's angle. ♪ today, biden gave a speech that was well written and for him come up well delivered. he traveled to gettysburg where he invoked lincoln and lbj and he tried to rekindle some of that obama magic to make you forget how far left the democrat party has moved since 2008 when obama was elected. after 47 years in elected office, joe wants you to believe that this time he really knows what he's doing. >> i'll work with democrats and republicans. i will be a president that pushes toward the future, not long that clings to the past. i will marshal the ingenuity and goodwill of this nation to turn division into unity to bring us together. >> laura: okay, that was a lot of nothing.

but the man who called president trump a clown and a racist at the first debate, he told us we all needed to just get along. >> i'm concerned, the country is in a dangerous place. our trust in each other is ebbing, instead of treating each other's party as the opposition, we treat them as the enemy. this must end. conduct ourselves as americans who love each other, who will not destroy but will build. >> laura: love each other? maybe he needs to get out of the basement more often and see how his base talk to their political opponents. [shouting] [bleep] [shouting]

>> laura: is this what joe meant by building, not destroying? >> protesters took to the streets, looting stores and dozens of fires. torching the police precinct that was left abandoned by officers. >> they fostered an environment that has allowed this type of violence to go on. we saw that for almost 60 days of the federal courthouse. >> laura: w didn't biden give the speech he gave today when his words might have helped end to the looting and the violence that broke out in minneapolis, in new york, in los angeles? [bleep] [car horns] were we all treating each other well there? the fact is biden stayed silent during the summer of love because his team made a calculation, i told you at the

time this is what was going on. they made a calculation that the protests would actually end up helping him politically. he would ride that energy all the way to election day. with his major assist from his facilitators, he is now peddling himself as the great uniter. >> if we do our part, if we stand together, if we keep -- in time, our divisions will way to dreams of a brighter future. >> laura: this is like deepak chopra meets i don't know what, this is word salad. brighter, better future -- brig, better future? presumably they know how to do things because they are all supporting you. chicago with a murder rate that is 50% higher than it was last year, is that brighter future or portland were anarchists set fires and attacked police on a near nightly basis, or new york

where colombo is threatening to lock down again, is that better future? by contrast, folks in georgia, texas, arizona, florida, they are happily free. they are open for business. and when biden says we got to do our part, he says that many times -- understand what that really means. it means don't even think about complaining and certainly don't protest when the experts, the scientists tell him to shut down america's economy again. every time biden says national strategy, what he means is a national lockdown. as for his urging that we stand together, that is laughable. it's laughable on its face. rioters burned the flag while his celebrity supporters won't even stand for the anthem. americans in states with

functioning economies aren't about to stand together as biden urged us with the likes of governors cuomo and gretchen whitmer in michigan who have done absolutely abhorrent job responding to covid. i think of all my favorite moments today with biden squinting in the sunlight, my absolute favorite moment was when he said "we need to keep faith with the past." is this what he's referring to? [shouting] [shouting] [bleep] >> laura: it's all in the eight years of obama, that's the only pass that matters. when attacks were made on these historical markers when all the threats were made against even

mount rushmore, biden didn't say a word. again, he was making a political calculation. he doesn't want to offend the neo-bolsheviks who want to destroy everything that came before. from washington to reagan. thus, he panders on police brutality and the tragedy of george floyd. biden's gettysburg address was an attempt to convince you that things will calm down if we reject trump. really? have you seen the protests against lockdowns and australia? how about in scotland, in germany? does any of that look calm to you? joe says we need to believe in america again. in the same speech, he lies and says the u.s. is systemically racist, how is that believing in america? and they call trump reckless? it's reckless for biden to

traffic in blm lies and the anti-american 6019 propaganda that's poisoning our kids minds against their own country. but that's exactly what he did today. look past biden's candidate speech and the gauzy rhetoric and a focus in on some simple truths tonight. if you want to see china grow more powerful, if you want to see your wages go down and taxes go up, if you want to see a hateful, distorted history pushed on our kids, and if you want to see our cities and towns all across america lockdown and our borders flung open, then joe is your guy. our movement, it was created to check china's brazen cheating and attempt at world dominance, trump did that. our movement was about ringing our troops home and finding peace wherever possible, raging wages on the working man, trump did all that. four weeks from now, your decision is going to be really

simple. if you want to make tech billionaires and a radical anarchists at the cnn all really happy, vote for biden. but if you care about your own standard of living, preserving this country for your kids, having your freedoms, basic freedoms respected, boat trump. that's the angle. as i mentioned, biden's national plan amounts to nothing more than rolling shutdowns that are going to destroy our own country. for more on that we are joined by dr. scott atlas, white house covid advisor. he was dubbed the anti-lockdown advisor by the esteemed journal business insider. you have risen in my estimation if that's possible -- you have said the president's diagnosis will not change how the white house tackles the pandemic. why is that? >> thanks for having me.

of course it won't change. obviously the strategy is the same and the president articulated this presciently in march when he said the cure cannot be worse than the problem. the strategy is highly aggressive targeted protection of the vulnerable and opening up schools and society because he early on recognized that the policies that many of the public health officials espouse and many of our governors a spouse which is stopping covid-19 at all costs is very destructive because as we've learned all over the world, the prolonged lockdown is super harmful. we just had a study came out yesterday which showed that 46% of the top six cancers went undiagnosed during the first three months of this lockdown. what that means is more than half of breast cancers by the way, this is just the tip of the iceberg. it's not just that hospitals

were closed, there was fear instilled, sort of a frenzy of fear in the american public and all over the world. what we see our 650,000 people who are on imo therapy didn't get the chemo, two-thirds of cancer screenings not getting done and the other impacts are even more harmful, 25% of kids in the united states 18 to mecca 24, one fourth had suicidal ideation during the month of june. this is so destructive, not just to our children who are being harmed by the school closures but really this lockdown is what i would call a luxury of the rich. this is a classic problem, and what the president understands the people need to work, the working class need their jobs, children need to go to school and it's very harmful to do otherwise.

>> laura: the poor have disproportionately been affected by lockdowns, they are doing better in states that have reopened were almost all of those are republican-led states because they believe in freedom and not fear. dr. atlas, i have to talk about part of what joe biden said today in his gettysburg address about how he would tackle covid, watch. >> let's set partisanship aside, let's end the politics and follow the science. wearing a mask -- wearing a mask is not a political statement. it's a scientific recommendati recommendation. we can have a national strategy that makes it possible for our schools and businesses to open safely. >> when he says national strategy, what does he really mean? >> i cannot speak for biden but i can say this, there is a complete fallacy that president trump is not following the science.

president trump follows the science, he listens to people both inside government, public health officials and he also gets information from the actual academic scientists, medical scientists, epidemiologists from places like harvard and stanford and oxford, and these people actually agree very much with his strategy. protect the vulnerable as much as he can and open up because of the harms of that. if this is a national strategy, the president articulated, he says it all the time. in the meantime he's doing a lot of great things like he showed as a patient recently, like operation warp speed with new drug development, facilitating the record timing of a safe and effective vaccine that we anticipate very soon. >> laura: hospitalizations are way down, deaths are way down, that's good news and the media

refused to report it. they just will not report it because we are going to kill the country off to make sure we have not a single person infected with the virus in the united states. biden's plans are rolling lockdowns because his advisors said that's what we should have done initially. i have to ask you about this. when we see the president, on the balcony and he takes his mask off to do that video, a lot of people loved the video -- he just got reamed by all the covid panic squad in the media saying he's a walking vector of disease and a cloud of contagion, and people are dropping like flies, what is your response on the specific issue of the symbol of the mask and the president taking it off? >> listen, the president respects the disease, i don't think anyone should think he's minimizing the disease, it's

highly dangerous of the people in the category of high risk, elderly and the people with comorbidities -- but we are all thrilled how well he's doing, i saw him earlier this evening. it's amazing, the guy is incredibly resilient and that's fantastic but that doesn't minimize his concern and he's following all of the recommended guidelines for someone who said when he's around people, people enter his area, he has a mask, everyone else has a mask on, it's very clear this is very dangerous for people. when you're symptomatic there are certain guidelines to follow and his policy is a reasonable policy, it's the policy of the nih, i just looked it up -- where a mask when you cannot socially distance. there is no cavalier attitude whatsoever and he did very well, he's doing very well. he came home, he took his mask off, he was outside. i think the media is making

something out of nothing here. >> laura: dr. fauci responded to the president comparing covid to the flu earlier, watch. >> the numbers speak for themselves, this is not a trivial disease, you don't get a pandemic that kills a million people and it isn't even over yet with influenza. >> laura: big tech is once again trying to silence the president, npr reporting facebook and twitter take action against trump falsely claims the flu is deadlier than covid-19 but check this out, we did this research ourselves tonight -- for those 24 and under, it's actually less deadly, covid is less deadly than the flu. look at the numbers, 434 for those ages 0 to 18 and 429 covid deaths going all the way up to 24. so he was right in that key age

group that is trying to go back to school and colleges and so forth. we are keeping kids out of school for a disease that is less deadly than the flu, that is correct according to the cdc mbers, correct? just correct acg to cdc, there's no question -- the president was talking about in some populations come he's talking about younger people, children. covid-19 is less dangerous than seasonal flu, that's on the basis of hospitalizations. this is not really arguable. they are trying to make something that really didn't mean, what he's saying in certain populations, it is less dangerous than the flu. that's scientifically factual. >> laura: i want everyone to understand this tonight,

thank you so much -- i want you to understand this, twitter and facebook are censoring the president of the united states under false pretenses. the facts are against them. the flu for that population, younger people is more deadly than covid, period. they are censoring the president over that -- that's a country we live in and no wonder they're giving all the money to the obama campaign. michelle obama delivered a closing message today filled with racial invective. i rebuffed her comments and dinesh d'souza, cynthia garrett offer reactions, stay there.

>> laura: can you believe it's four weeks until election day? former first lady michelle obama is out with the new video making her final and quite angry closing argument against president trump. >> our current president has devoted his life to enriching himself, his family, and other wealthy people. he boasts about gains in the stock market, but when you look at the lives of regular folks, whether it's creating blue-collar jobs, making health care more affordable, protecting the environment, keeping our families safe from gun violence led o let alone the

coronavirus, there's nothing much to brag about. >> laura: what does she understand about those folks, did she record that video at her home in martha's vineyard, malley, malley, or bel air? we know that trump has lost money serving his country unlike some other recent first families who cashed and after they left office. and because joe biden has no actual accomplishments, she played the most portable card at all. >> they are stoking fears about a black and brown americans whipping up violence and intimidation and pinning it all on what has been an overwhelmingly peaceful movement for racial solidarity. it is racist, but that doesn't mean it won't work. >> laura: chicago just saw its deadly september and 25 years,

how many times have the obama's gone back to chicago to speak out against this horrific rise in murders? her appeal is much like joe's, lacking any real details about how democrats will make your life better. they had eight years to do it while washing their hands of all their failures from their time in the white house. joining me now with reaction is dinesh d'souza whose new film "trump card" is available on demand this friday and it cynthia garrett, author of "i choose victory." this one is classic, pure grievance, underneath it all, a lot of vitriol. >> i think with this customary obama duplicity divides the protests into two categories, the peaceful protests and presumably the violent protests were people get hurt or killed. the violent protests are a small minority of overall protests. she very cleverly leaves out a

third category which is a majority of the protests, intimidation, knocking down statues, defacing property, accosting people in front of their homes, disrupting restaurants, going to birthday parties and overturning the tables, stopping traffic and pulling people out of their cars, there's a pattern here with antifa and black lives matter, a culture of intimidation. this is the norm of the protests, this is not some outlying exception but by the fighting protests into peaceful and violent, she camouflages the fact that she and obama are the authors of this strategy, of the intimidation of the street. it goes back to something goebbels said a generation ago, who controls the street controls the nation and this is the doctrine that the obama's have lived by. >> laura: here is more from michelle obama's message. >> as a black woman, the knowledge that any of my fellow

americans is more afraid of me than the chaos we are living through right now -- that hurts. racism, fear, division. these are powerful weapons and they can destroy this nation if we don't deal with them head on. >> laura: as a black woman yourself, what about her message there. >> i got to tell you, i'm joining tonight from tennessee and over the weekend, a beautiful black woman walked up to me -- she was married to a white man and they had a mixed daughter and she came up to me and she said "i just want to say thank you. i want to say thank you because you're daring to be bold enough to risk very close friends of yours liking you by speaking the truth." there are a lot of us black women who listen to michelle's

words and were disappointed, disappointed because right now, this country needs leadership that unifies, that heals. she's saying that trump is a divisive thing in this country, yet she is using division to attack him. the hypocrisy of it all is overwhelming, and the lack of wisdom is really just shocking to me. she knows better. she knows what it takes to lead and that she's choosing not to lead, but to pander to fear. they are using racism. race is the easiest way to control a people and a nation -- you get them on the streets, you get them fighting, and you control them. for what to? for power. i am sorry that the democrats have done nothing since the day they lost the election but

divide and manipulate and i for one am not going to sit by and not going to say the truth about it, it's horrible. >> laura: i also find it odd that michelle doesn't have issues with joe biden making comments like this. >> sequestered in my home is because some black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf. >> laura: this got attention yesterday, if trump said something like that it would lead every evening newscast. >> it's so habitual of the democrats to harbor these views which keep slipping out in public. their strategy is division, race division, black against white, gender division male against female, transgender division, its legal against illegal, it's very obvious they are trying to create a democratic majority by cobbling together a coalition of aggrieved victim groups, that is

their elective strategy. >> laura: i wish we had an whole hour with you. newt gingrich is here next, he's going to respond to biden's attempt at that gettysburg address, plus a preview of tomorrow night's vp debate, what's at stake there? go away. now, simparica trio simplifies protection.

ticks and fleas? see ya! heartworm disease? no way! simparica trio is the first chewable that delivers all this protection. and simparica trio is demonstrated safe for puppies. it's simple: go with simparica trio. this drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures; use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. protect him with all your heart. simparica trio.

>> laura: during last night's msnbc town hall, biden struggled to explain how his policies would actually make your life better. today in gettysburg as we showed you earlier, he tried a different tactic -- it was kind of revisionist history. first, joe tried channeling his inner lincoln. >> we fought a civil war that would secure our union that would seek to fulfill the promise of equality for all. and by fits and starts, our better angels have prevailed

just enough -- those better angels can prevail again now. they must prevail again now. >> laura: "now." do our better angels require us to push other things like abortion on demand, appease communist china, subjugating christians? his speech wouldn't be complete without an empty unity message. >> we must take the first steps with how we treat one another, how we talk with one another, how we respect one another. >> laura: this from a man who was with a sitting president of the united states at the first debate and called him a racist and a clown and he said to "shut up, man." in case you hadn't noticed, his rhetoric is as hollow as his vision on this country, don't let him fool you. here now is newt gingrich, former speaker of the house, fox news contributor, author of

"trump in the american future." will biden eventually -- will he ever be asked his plan about how he will actually raise the standard of living for the average american, the working class people? >> he certainly won't be asked that by the news media because they are totally in the tank for him. they're going to do everything they can to protect him and do everything they can to avoid asking him any questions about anything, because they are so committed to defeating president trump. i think the speech at gettysburg was one more lost opportunity because the truth is biden's policies, if anyone ever looked at his policies are the most divisive of any presidential candidate since george mcgovern. he would use your tax money to pay for abortion in the ninth month. his candidate for vice president has an 11-point plan for taking

guns away from people and violating the second amendment. the fact is that he would raise taxes dramatically, it takes us back to a weak economy. he goes through item after item after item and i think lincoln actually stood for something and in the end had to fight a civil war in order to achieve the goal of ending slavery and keeping the union together. >> laura: are you surprised, at all surprised that biden like the obama's, michelle obama today went to systemic racism point -- if you think america is truly systemically racist, why are you the person to make america better? you obviously kind of hate america at least at that point. joe biden wasn't that guy before but he is that guy now, right? >> it's really ironic, he came

out of delaware which in many ways was exactly the world michelle obama was afraid of. he defended segregated schools, he defended segregationists, he defended the south in the civil war, he defended people who flew confederate flags but gradually as he became a national liberal democrat, he was weaned away from this. i want to do an entire podcast on all the things that biden said over the years that were essentially antiblack, like just this week when he said he was only able to stay in the basement because there was a black woman somewhere in a grocery store taking care of h him. those figures of speech the comes up with again and again. the deeper reality is that they want to change america decisively. biden doesn't represent bringing us together, biden represents the hard left which basically involves antiwhite racism and

involves antimale misogyny and wants to have a world in which the government -- watch governor cuomo explained to the jewish community that he's going to close the synagogues and less they what he wants. look at governor whitmer who was slapped down by the michigan supreme court for violating their constitution. >> laura: isn't the question going to be whether suburban women are more freaked out about a virus with a 99.5% survivability rate for most people than they are freaked out about the rise of china or losing a lot of their income in a cratering economy? if they are that afraid of the virus or they don't like trump's personality -- biden has no answers, he's not going to raise your standard of living, you are

going to be poor in a biden administration except for zuckerberg in the light, they will be richer. if you're so freaked out about the virus, what does trump do now? >> i think as dinesh d'souza said, people in the suburbs also have to worry about the fact that antifa and black lives matter both are now increasingly leaving the inner city and moving into the suburbs to intimidate people, the crime rate is going up radically whether it's in chicago or new york city. we are seeing the results of the pro-criminal, antipolice that george soros is having elected. >> laura: on the vice presidential debate, how important is this debate? >> i think it's very important, vice president pence has a chance to be very calm and to show how a radical san francisco democrat is totally out of sync with most americans and i think the comb or he is and the more

focused he is on the issues, the worse kamala harris is going to do. >> laura: it's so great to see you tonight, thank you so much for being with us. more bad science from the cdc? my medicine cabinet is here in moments, they will walk us through the latest walk back from the government and the response to dr. fauci's comments on covid lethality, stay there.

♪ >> you've got to look to the science. >> the white house deciding its smarter, it can do things better than the scientists who are trained to do this for a living. >> listen to the experts. >> listen to the science. >> laura: which experts? their experts, the ones that keep contradicting themselves. they seem to flip-flop on the science more than the cdc itself and the agency declared that covid particles can hang in the air for hours and infect people more than 6 feet away. just two weeks ago they put up and took down guidance on the exact same topic, so what is it? last month the cdc reversed its stance that people without covid symptoms didn't need a test, and in june the cdc admitted that covid does not easily spread

after all of us are freaking out about our fedex packages and amazon packages, they've been telling us otherwise for months. doing to me now, dr. harvey rich, yale university epidemiology professor. what is the latest reversal on aerosols all about? >> i think what we've seen is a complete collapse in scientific integrity since covid is start started. over 30 articles, peer-reviewed articles have been retracted because of scientific fraud and that includes articles in medicine and the lancet. since it made this year, the cdc clearly showed 14 randomized controlled studies did share the benefit, they've done these garbage studies that have been designed quite fraudulently. it's a debacle, that's going to live long after covid has gone into oblivion.

>> laura: we've been talking about the study on masks and the compilation of all the studies on masks but you might as well have committed a war crime if you take off a mask in your own home as president trump did last night when he came back from walter reed. that is a real problem, is it not? the cdc puts out guidance and retracted a few days later. >> the problem is there's a lot of intangibles and there are definite answers, evidence for and against, these are not clear-cut things that have clear yes-or-no answers. it's easy to weigh the evidence and more evidence comes out and you go the other way. the real problem is all of this is a distraction from how to manage the pandemic that we are in, we need to get back to normal life and we need to protect the people who were at the highest risk and we need to be able to treat them if they

get sick -- that's the whole bottom line. >> laura: meanwhile, we are doing mask testing, surveillance testing which is what is asked for by the biden people which we heard last night from all our epidemiologists would be a complete waste of time. former obama advisor and architect of obamacare zeke emanuel says this is the way to get the death rate down. >> with a proper institution of public health measures wearing a mask, social distancing, no crowds over 20, we can get our death rate way down, if the president didn't want this to happen he could've followed his own cdc guidance or whatever joe biden is doing what seems to be very scrupulously following government recommendations are. >> laura: the flip-flopping government recommendations, does any of that get the death rate down? >> no, i think what has gotten the death rate down, you simply need to go to world meter, death

rates have been dropping since mid-june and most of the united states. there's also something very fundamental that we haven't discussed -- you and i have off-line, that is the mode of transmission. tom jefferson, in england has published a beautiful brief in july talking about the evidence supporting the predominance of oral spread of this virus -- it's very important to consider the dominant mode of transmission may be oral which has tremendous implications which is clearly winding down and most of the world and the united states. >> laura: carl bernstein yesterday was watching everything unfold with the president and he had this to s say. >> we are in the midst of an

unprecedented physical and mental health crisis, we are talking about a president who is jacked up on steroids, this is a real existential national security crisis. >> laura: you're not treating the president, obviously but would being on this type of steroid make you manic or a madman as david gergen said to? we are being run by a madman -- do you see any indication of that in the president's commen comments? >> i don't know what measure there is. [laughter] >> laura: you might as well -- i don't know what you think but all of these people seemed so bent out of shape that president trump took his mask off. they could not stand it. they might as well have been infected themselves through

100 yards of distance and time. what is your reaction to what you saw last night? >> this is why i want to retire to mars come i want to get away from these idiots. no one who is an idiot is going to make it to mars, that's why i want to retire there. >> laura: it's great to see you there as always. still ahead to, is bill de blasio the worst mayor in america? that's a tough competition right now, but the last bite has an explanation, stay there.

a woman who was young had covid-19. i remember her because she had a bracelet that had the names of her children. she asked me, 'doctor, am i going to be okay?' and i could not give her the answer that i wanted to give her. there is no excuse for why we don't have this under control at this point. joe biden listens to medical experts. he actually has a plan that does the things that we should have been doing many months ago. and joe biden is not going to let his ego get in the way of fighting the disease. ff pac is responsible for the content of this ad.
