tonight, you are ♪ >> 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 and a senator kamala harris, we willll be live with postdebate reaction and coverage. let not your heart be troubled laura -- four weeks from tonight. >> laura: can you believe 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 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. >> sean: he's full of energy 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 one 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

>> just the tip of the iceberg, it is not just that hospitals

were closed, it's that there was fear instilled, sort of of fear of frenzy all over the world. so what we see our 650,000 people that were on chemotherapy and did not get their chemo, we have two-thirds of cancer screenings not getting done. half of childhood innovations were not done and even more harmful, just 25% of kids in the united states 18 to 24. one fourth trying to think of 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 really a class problem here where the affluent elite do not understand that what the president understands which is that people need to work, the working class needs their jobs and children need to go to school. and it is very harmful to do otherwise. >> yes, disproportionately taken

in by lockdown. and the states reopen where all of those are republican led states because they believe in freedom and not fear. by the way, 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 just end the politics and follow the science. wearing a mask, wearing a mask is not a political statement. it is a scientific recommendation, you can have a national strategy that will make it possible for our schools and businesses to open safely. >> laura: dr. atlas, when he says national strategy, what does he really mean? >> i cannot speak for mr. biden, but i can say that there is a complete fallacy that president trump does not follow the science. president trump follows the science, he listens to people

both inside government, public health officials and gets the information from the actual academic science medical scientists, epidemiologists from places like harvard and stanford and oxford, top people in the world, 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. this is a national strategy, the president articulated and says it all the time. in the meantime he is doing a lot of great things like you showed as a patient recently like operation warp speed with new drug development and facilitating the record timing of a safe and effective vaccine when anticipating very soon -- >> laura: but dr. atlas, hold on a second. hospitalizations are way down, deaths are way down, that's all good news and the media refuses to report it.

because we are going to kill the country off to make sure that we have not a single person infected with a virus in the united states. that is their plan. biden rolling lockdowns because their advisors already say that to that is what we should have done initially to keep it going. i have to ask you about this, because when we see the president come on the balcony and he takes his mask off to do that video, which a lot of people love the video. he just got reamed by all the covid panic squad in the media saying he is a walking bout of contagion in the white house 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 that anybody should think he is minimizing the seriousness of the disease. it is highly dangerous for people in the category of

high-risk, elderly and people with comorbidities. but we are all thrilled actually how well he is doing. i saw him actually earlier this evening. it is amazing, the guy is incredibly resilient. that is fantastic. but that does not minimize the concern. he is following all of the recommended guidelines for someone who is sick. when he is around people, people enter his area, he has a mask. everyone else has a mask on. it is very clear that this is very dangerous for people when you're symptomatic, there are certain guidelines to follow. and his policy is really the reasonable policy and is the policy of the nia, which is where a mask when you cannot socially distance. there is no sort of cavalier attitude whatsoever. but he did very well, he is doing very well, and he came home, he took his mask off. he was outside. i think that the media is making something out of nothing here

really. >> laura: dr. fauci responded to the president comparing covid to the flu and a tweet earlier, watch. >> the numbers speak for themselves, this is not a trivial disease, you do not get a pandemic that kills 1 million people and it isn't even over yet with influenza. >> laura: and big tech is trying to silence the president, npr reporting that facebook, twitter, taking action against president trump falsely claiminn covid-19, but we did this research ourselves, for under, y less deadly. the flu is less -- covid is less deadly than the flu. from those ages 0-18 with the flu and 429 covid deaths going all the way up to 24. so he was right on that key age

group that is trying to go back to school and college and so forth. so we are keeping kids out of school for a disease that is less deadly than the flu. that is correct according to the cdc numbers, correct? >> it is not just correct according to the cdc. there is no question. the president was talking about in some populations and talking about the younger people, children, the covid-19 is less dangerous than the flu. that is just on the basis of hospitalization that has been stated exactly like that by jama pediatrics. this is naturally arguable. they are trying to make him make something that he really did me he saying is that in certain populations, it is less dangerous. >> that is scientifically factual. >> i want everybody to understand the estimate. i want people to understand this

. twitter and facebook are censoring the president of the united states. the flavor that turn population. is more deadly than covid. those are the stats. in there centering the presiden over that. that is the country we live in. michelle obama had interracial have interracial inductive birt every butter garment and then india garrett offered kantner's reaction. stay there.

>> laura: can you believe >> can you believe it's four weeks until election day braid former first lady michelle obam is out making her final and quite angry closing arguments against president trump. >> arba current president has devoted his life to enriching himself, his family, and other wealthy people he boast about lean gains in the stock market, if you look at the lives of regular folks, whether it's creating luke color jobs, makin healthcare more affordable, protecting the environment, keeping our family safe from gu violence, let alone the coronavirus. there is nothing much brag about .

>> laura: what does she understand about those folks did she record that video at her home in martha's vineyard we know that trump has lostma 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,ef she played the most portable card at all. >> they are stoking fears about a black and brown americans whipping up violence and intimidationbr and pinning it al on whatle 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 nsin 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,s, defacing property accostingma people in front of their homes, disrupting restaurants, going to birthday parties and overturning the tables, stopping traffic and pulling people out of theirst 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 fromn 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 walkedan p to me --he she was married to a whitean man and they had a mixed daughter and she came up to me and she said "i just want to say thank you.er 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 knowsel better. she knows what it takes to lead and that she's choosing not to lead,s 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.m 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 byf aggrieved victim groups, that is their elective strategy. >> laura: i wish we had an whole hour with you.

>> 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 l different tactic -- w it was kid 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.

>>il 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 casee you hadn't noticed, hs 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. ththey'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 beforw 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 saidwa 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 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 a both are now increasiny 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 timportant 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 syncd 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. ♪ acelet 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.

>> 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.to >> laura: which experts? their experts, the ones that keep e 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 ourr fedex packages and amazon packages, they've been telling us otherwise for months. doing to me now, dr. harvey rich, yale university epidemiology professor. complete collapse in scientific integrity since covid is 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 aa 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 saysf 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 dominantnt 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 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 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. t

..

>> laura: new york city is suffering from high unemployment, skyrocketing murder rate and threat of more lockdowns, have no fear, mayor bill de blasio took time and taxpayer dollars to film this. ♪

♪ >> laura: it looks like big bird putting on a mask, it's ridiculous -- that's all the time we have tonight, shannon bream and the fox news at night team have all the big news here from the stimulus and everything else. >> plenty of breaking news as you know, we'll pick it up where you leave shannon: twentieth breaking news. we will pick up where you left off. breaking tonight hours after a heavily redacted memo from john brennan was released the president tweeting i have fully authorized the declassification of any and all documents pertaining to the greatest political crime in american history, the russia hoax. the hillary email scandal, no redactions. we have coverage wha m
