night, 8:00 eastern right here on fox. we are out of time, let not your heart be troubled, laura ingraham is next. it will back here monday, eight days, we are counting them down. have a great weekend. ♪ >> laura: i'm laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. the media's desperately trying to shield joe biden from any coverage of his son scandal come his family scandal, and conceal whatever he knows and when he knew it. we had the ingraham angle won't let this story get buried. we went straight to swing state voters to find out what they think. plus, it went to ohio state where i spoke with students who are begging, begging for things to return to normal. republican state lawmaker tells us what he's doing to give

people hope of getting their old lives back. that is where interesting things could happen on november 3rd. also raymond arroyo breaks down biden's biggest house from the debate. he will reveal which candidate the moderator interrupted the most. first, the final stretch, that's the focus of tonight's angle. biden has his big donors, he has his political consultants come of course he has his hollywood celebrities and his silken valley billionaires, but we all know the man himself inspires zero excitement among the voters. for democrats, he is just the untrumped necessity of the moment. by contrast, millions of americans would walk across glass to vote for donald trump. they will line up by the

hundreds of thousands this week when you add it all up at his rallies across the midwest, the sun belt, and in states like pennsylvania. and for good reason, right? his america first agenda helped raise median wages by about $6,000. he kept us out of words, he took on china, he strengthened our borders, and although the media won't admit it, he handled the pandemic better than europe. lots happening in naples, italy, tonight. check it out. i'm not the reason, biden would mean you would be aligning yourself with some of the most condescending snobs on the face of the planet. >> i think tremblant did it good with his base tonight. the question for america is how big that basis. if there is a lizard brain in this country. a donald trump is a product of the white man's -- the english, nervous white guys lizard brain.

>> laura: in 2008 you are clinging to your guns and religion, 2016, he was deplorable, irredeemable. in 2020, a historian says you're a bunch of lizard brains. lizard brains is the quote, racist is implied. of course biden agrees, don't fall for the hole, homespun i'm from scranton and i rode amtrak nonsense. he's just a hologram for the real power base. his real power base, who is it? the donors. they had no use for people in flyover country's. unless they speak mandarin, may be. biden's puppet masters, they know that their candidate can't be trumps economic record, and they don't even pretend otherwise. if they know they can't compete with trumps record for african-americans or hispanics so instead they throw down their worn out racism card. they respond with the good

people on both sides, the media poodles regurgitated all day in and day out with the pained expressions on their face. in essence, the democrats uplifting argument for biden comes down to this, hey lizard brain, check your white privilege and vote for joe. if you don't, you're going to be branded a racist. if you put a chump sign on your yard, you're going to be targeted. go to a chump rally, you might as well wear a white hood. these are insinuations that are beyond cynical. it's not just hardball politics, these are flat out lies. sexually evil. at the forces propping up biden do want you to know the truth. it's not just that, like this

man, just pardon by president trump who was serving a 20 year sentence for a nonviolent offense. >> president trump, i want to thank you for giving me a second chance and believing in me and reading my petition. i'm just so thankful, 20 years ago i was at term casino, and now you sign to get me out. first i didn't know it was real. he's two years old, you reunited me back to my family. i lost my mother and father, but i've got him, and this is what i live for. thank you president trump. >> laura: i cried when i watch that entire video. watch it if you can. go online and see it. who among us didn't need a second chance in life? biden and obama had eight years to get something done on criminal justice reform and give a lot of people second chances, and they didn't. yet, joe claims he has the

patents on the decent boat. >> the character of this country, honor, respect, treating people with dignity, making sure that phone even chance. >> laura: is just so shallow. you got to be your own consumer. to this extent, he's on the ballot and it's another argument for trump's. president trump loves -- enormous personal sacrifices to serve the country. before he was inaugurated, his entire family moved from a failed establishment from both sides of the aisle. now, we're just soured on politics, gone back to new york, had a good life, thoroughness

out. not him. through it all, he has continued to celebrate the united states and its history. he has defended our monuments and our cities. he's put conservative talented men and women on the bench including soon-to-be associate justice amy coney barrett on the supreme court. anyone who claims to be pro-life and yet isn't supporting him is a complete and total phony. he has done more to promote the pro-life cause than any president in u.s. history. compare that to vice president biden. he stands with the callous butchers who profit off of abortion on demand. biden supporters include many who despises country, who believe that our whole history from beginning to end is nothing more than a sorry saga of raci racism. >> there is institutional racism in america. we have always said -- we've never lived up to it. we hold these truths to be self

evident, all men and women created equal. guess what, we have never, ever lived up to it. the one that's most unbelievable thing ever. nothing we've done has even taken a step toward redeeming the sin of slavery. nothing. even the election of barack obama, i guess that doesn't count either. his administration would teach our young people to hate this country, to tear down its history, spoiler cities, and terrorizing people. meanwhile biden's family, dave made a fortune out of what is supposed to be public service. if you love america, if you think our experiment didn't democracy is one of the greatest triumphs of the human spirit and you reject this government symbolized by biden, you must stand with president trump. or all of us who love america and to fought as hard as we could for the middle class, this is our time. this is our chance. it never before in my lifetime

have the elites gathered in such numbers were spent such money to stop a political movement. they used to mock us, but now they fear us. they are right. they had their chance to govern this country for decades, and they blew it. let them spend billions on propaganda, let them spread lies, let them quiver with threats and rage. we will divide them. the final week of the campaign, president trump is doing his part. he's doing everything possible to get a message -- a strong message passed a hostile media. we have to help them spread that message. talk to friends, touch your parents, talk to your kids, talk to people at work, at church, at your kids schools, on election day let's teach the elites and their lackeys a message they will never forget. in america, power belongs to the people. all of the people. not just an elite few who write

the checks every four years. that is the angle. yesterday, the senate judiciary committee voted to approve justice amy coney barrett, which means it will likely be up for floor vote on monday. it today, chuck schumer throughout procedural hurdles including demanding a closed-door session session to indefinitely postpone amy coney barrett's confirmation. to speak of the senate majority is conducting the most rushed, most partisan and least legitimate process in the entire history of supreme court nominations. democrats will not lend an ounce of legitimacy to the process. we should shut off the cameras, close the senate, and talk face-to-face about what this might mean for the country. >> laura: suddenly no cameras,

that's when you know they're up to no good. senate judiciary committee chair joys me now. this is like a teenager throwing a temper tantrum because he can't take the car out at night and hit the town. that's a bad temper tantrum. >> well, being lectured by chuck schumer about how to treat judges is like an arsonist complaining about the fire department bearded chuck schumer is the guy that change the rules in 2013 so they could stack the circuit and district courts, chuck schumer is the guy that cleared cavanagh. he has done everything he could to politicize the court. i told schumer when he called me in 2013, you will regret changing the rules come monday we're going to put judge barrett on the court and then enter schumer is going to regret it. without senator schumer and senator reid, there would be no judge amy berry. >> laura: last night, we did a

pretty interesting focus group in columbus, ohio. we had people who were biden supporters, a couple of independence, and trump supporter's. we asked that i am this judiciary committee sent by the democrats. watch the reactions. >> what does my cans up. all but three. you studied under amy coney barrett, alex. >> i did. >> it was a hollow political maneuver. i'm not giving them any credit for it, i just think it was nonsense. >> laura: senator, nonsense is a nice way of putting it, people are pretty smart, they see through the desperation. >> number one, it disrespected judge barrett. she has lived a life worthy of being on the court. she is one of the most talented people i've ever met my life, her knowledge of the law is wide and deep, her judicial disposition should be the gold

standard for every future nominee. as a person, she has lived incredibly well rounded life. she embraces her faith without apology, she's pro-life, but she's going to buy a lot of the facts by not showing up and giving her the courtesy of about says more about the democrats than it does judge barrett. my opponents raised $109 million against me. the reason why he got in this race was because how i behaved in cavanaugh. the reason why i'm going to win and south carolina's because i stood up for cavanaugh. there trying to wipe us out financially. if you want to do something to help the republicans, lindsey graham.com, have my back, i've got amy's back. i need your help to finish this race, all by republicans do. they're trying to wipe us out with money, but south carolina is not for sale. if the president did a hell of a job last night. people should listen to your monologue. at this country is worth fighting for, judge barrett is worth fighting for.

i'm not leaving till she gets on the bench, lindsey graham.com, help me if you can. >> laura: the fact that you are fighting for your senate seat this year, to some people it's cause for great concern for the republican party. on the other hand, it's a sign that the trump agenda has been wildly successful against the billionaire class that wants to outsource more jobs to china like the old days under biden. they want to go back to that, i don't think they want to go back to those days, do they senator. >> no, ma'am, this is the most successful presidency for conservatives since reagan. the strongest military since ronald reagan. order at the border versus chaos. who wants to go back to the good old days of being overrun with caravans? you know what's on the ballot customer conservative judges

versus liberal judges, tax cuts versus tax increases, open borders versus secure borders. the difference between these two candidates is stark, it's real, they are trying to beat us because they are afraid of four more years of donald trump into four more years of picking conservative judges, four more years of controlling the tax cuts. >> laura: they are being exposed. if they don't like to be exposed. we see who china is rooting for in this election. they are not rooting for donald trump. they want biden in the white house. that was good run for them. that was great eight years for china, not so -- if trump had four more years, it's going to be brutal for china. >> trump is the first guy in the last 30 years to take on china. he is pushing back, donald trump has been the worst nightmare, trump got out of iran, look at

all of the piece deals now. trump stood up to iran, but that for the arabs and israelis. this is been a consequential presidency. let's keep it going, four more years of this and we will change the world, not just america. help me, i am fighting, we are all fighting, lindsey graham.com. hope president trump, help me. >> laura: they want trump to be a speed bump on the way to socialism. it's as simple as that. a blip in the rota, a pothole -- but they want to roll right back over the american worker. i know the good people of south carolina, when they saw nancy pelosi today talking about energy jobs and phasing out of the fossil fuel industry -- can we play that? i want to play that really quickly. i think the american people need to see this. joe biden says he's going to phase out oil and gas. that's what he's going to do, fossil fuels gone in a number of

years. this is what pelosi's response was. >> it is a public health issue, it is the issue of jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. this is god's creation and we have moral responsibility because we don't want any more government -- read keeping people healthy, preserve our planet >> laura: no more government than we need, really quick, close it out. because he made east is cheering nancy pelosi. we have become -- we lose our energy we lose millions of jobs and eliminate the oil and gas market. don't let the democrats take away our energy independence. >> laura: thank you so much, good luck on november 3rd. you've got more from our focus

group in columbus, ohio, last night. their thoughts on the importance of really won the debate. don't go away.

>> laura: and raymond arroyo and i are in columbus, ohio, to get instant debate reactions.

last night we at the angle brought trump and biden supporters for the reactions. there were a few things that we didn't get to last night that we wanted to circle back to. i want to start with what president trump said about the emails found on the hunter biden laptop. >> it's not true. it's because spending 10 minutes in their -- number two. if there is very strong email talks about your family wanting to make 10 million for introductions. >> laura: and now, did that change anyone's mind about joe biden? that question, raise your hand? that exchange? decode the emails are not that important to me. i do think that you have to look

more -- you have to look for more substance. at the substance wasn't good enough for me. >> kevin, you had a huge reaction to this when it happened live. what did you make of this moment? we go where there is smoke, there's fire. i hope that the truth comes out, one way or another. i don't think we've had enough time but i think there's something there because we got some smoke. >> with that exchange, also the relation to the hunter biden emails, the response of the story that we saw last week as well has turned me more away from biden a as a see a collectn of interest intact and elsewhere to suppress "the new york post" story on twitter. i think the editor of "the new york post" has been on this network a few times discussing that. that has pushed me in a certain direction. >> laura: the point i think a lot of people were raising last night as this was going on,

joe biden keep saying, this is part of the russian disinformation. trump said, and you can all react to this, he said, wait a second, the laptop was created by russia and did the russia russia russia thing. was that effective? >> that didn't affect me. what bothered me is, we've become -- our news has become so personalized that if you are a biden supporter, you are not getting that part of the story. if you are trump supporter, you are. the trump supporter's are going to continue to believe that this is a joe biden corruption peas, and the people who are biden supporters are going to think that this is a bunch of russian food we. >> i want to go to my independence, into lauren. >> of the media and the press, it's symbolic of what it takes to create the system that we are under. the divisiveness is just

advanced and supported. and that's exactly what the system requires, that's what democracy requires under a two-party system. if they did it very effectively. they both played their role. >> this is for democrats, and a nonissue, a nonstory. it's not being covered like it is on fox, and quite frankly, i'm kind of tired of it. i don't believe it's a thing. even if it is, it's like, it doesn't matter. it's not as pertinent anymore. >> laura: the hunter biden former business partner there tony bobulinski was speaking out. this is what he said. at this app and just before the

debate, someone who has both spoken to vice president biden and new hunter biden. >> i've heard joe biden say that he has never discussed business with hunter. that is false. i first hand knowledge about this because i directly dealt with the biden family, including joe biden. hunter often referred to his father as the big guy. i have no wish to bury anyone come of the few contributions i've made have been to democrats, to protect my family name and my business reputation, i need to ensure that the true facts are out there. >> laura: kaven. on this issue, is corruption in government, specifically the idea of a government official and his family getting rich off of ties to foreign businesses, especially our adversaries, is that important, whether the president is a rep publican or a

democrat. >> it's important on both sides. it's not being covered, but because of why. why isn't it on nbc abc or cbs? that's a question we should be asking. >> shook hands, did the bobulinski, him coming forward and saying this, does this change your perception of the story? >> this was the first time i'm hearing this. frankly, it's unsubstantiated until it's truly -- >> laura: is a democrat, he donated and supported, and his whole life, he's bennett democrat. >> he has emails, exchanges over the year it, you're not buying this to matter what? >> possibly a president making money off of foreign deals, that's what president trump is doing right now, he's in office. i think it's like -- you know,

you're kind of comparing -- if i do it it's okay, but if biden does it, it's not. it just doesn't flow. >> laura: i want to get to taylor. taylor, the media for some time now has said -- the left-wing media has said that donald trump thought he was a great businessman, now we see his taxes and is not such a great businessman, at least in recent years. now that it shifted and people deflect the story say, president trump has made money off of four business. >> that's a great thing, it's contradicting to say that the president of the united states isn't a good businessman, but yet he is working in all of these bilateral deals, i guess in moscow and now foreign bank accounts in china. you can't have it both ways. either he has a lot of money or he doesn't have any money at all. which one is it?

i know, the people are confused on which way. >> laura: first time voting for you questio? >> first-time presidential election. >> laura: what do you like about trump? >> the can-do attitude, let's get things done. especially as a college kid looking for a job, i want results, when i graduate i want to get a job and i think the president has done a good job with that so far. >> you are very concerned about outsourcing and off shoring of jobs. your reaction to what you heard the other night? does this play at all, does this concern you at all that hunter biden may have been a conduit to enrich joe biden? >> absolutely. also the lack of attention it's getting nationally, that's concerning. do you know if it was from doing this, it would be blood in the water.

>> going off of that as well, just this morning national public radio said this story was a distraction and it wouldn't end stomach dedicate any time for it. >> laura: it's not covering the hunter biden story, saying we don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don't want to waste the listeners and readers time on stories that are just pure distraction. how many people out there think a media outlet -- regardless of who is in the white house, should regard stories about our adversaries funneling money to family members of a city president that's not a story? how many of you think that's the way media should react? >> nobody. final question i want to ask, who won the debate last night do you think? show of hands, biden.

donald trump? okay. a majority thought donald trump one. >> laura: up ahead, raymond arroyo reveals biden debates titles and takes, that's next. 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.

>> laura: it's friday, that means it's time for #fridayfollies. we are joined by fox news contributor raymond arroyo, author of the new book, the spider who saves christmas. there were plenty of moments in the final presidential debate that went on covered up but not unnoticed. i think they can affect the way the voters viewed the candidates. >> what do we always say? the unsaid things are how people perceive, and it shapes their perception of these candidates. some people in our focus group thought that biden was a little fuzzy in his answers. they came to that appraisal due to repeated instances where biden used crutches like in fact or come on, when he ran out of gas.

watch. >> don't worry. it will all be over soon, come on. come on. come on. come on. come on, folks. the fact is folks, he's already caused the american people. at the fact is -- i've made it very clear. they in fact were giving a date to show up to their hearing. if, in fact, he continues to withhold his plans -- a whole range of other people who are in fact concerned. >> anyone who is in fact closely watched biden will recognize that in fact for a loop which he in fact employs when searching for the next thought. it was painfully obvious in the debate. at the longer it went on, the less coherence we had. at one point, he just ran out of gas. >> laura: he is always -- going back to the 90s and 80s when i first saw him, he has always relied on these verbal crutches.

he thinks it makes them more accessible. i have never bought into that. but someone talks how dignified they are, that stinks my eyes. >> you don't like all of those homespun stories? >> laura: there were also moments in the debate where he had no way to recovery. >> sitting around the table. you can do better. it's from russia -- >> the crime bill had been off for a while. one of the things we should be doing, we should make it mandatory. >> have very different visions on climate change. >> was joe looking -- is he waiting for the amtrak? what was that? that actually helped biden. i've said this before.

he starts to wander and some of that happened last night, particularly the later the hour got. laura: he tries to substitute substance with these rome ideal constructions you got to pull yourself up from your bootstraps -- you can't do. i mean, that's fine as far as, we can do this. >> we are america. he wanted 15 minutes from the house. it the campaign is sending kamala harris out to cleveland and michigan. in between, she has been making some of her own. >> were looking over who just died.

>> in fact, it is 220,000 americans who died of covid. his visit this week to pennsylvania was not exactly -- >> you can have all the tv ads you want, but at the end of the day, people connect with people. obviously, this is an extraordinary election because we are in the midst of a pandemic. >> laura: how did i miss that? the guy talk more people on my coffee run that he did. >> when he said ads, ads don't win elections. but that's they have, biden hasn't been campaigning. what are they talking about? they are swamping trump in ads. they are swamping the trump campaign in ads in the midwest. they have billionaires supporting their campaign who want to outsource jobs to china.

with that of this campaign has been funded. for obama to go up there and start trying to do that whole thing he does is a joke. i don't mean to step on your #fridayfollies but that was too much for me. still ahead, all across the midwest, americans are begging for return to normalcy. we went to ohio state, i will tell the terrible when we come back.

>> laura: while we are in columbus, i stopped by ohio state university. home of the buckeyes, we saw how unions were coping with life under ridiculous covid restrictions. >> super great knowing i'm finally here on campus and i'm going to be able to see the buckeyes. i feel like i'm safe on campus. >> it sucks going through all of this knowing that i feel like we should all be in class learning with her friends. >> i think we need to learn how to live with that, not just shut down the entire world. >> a lot of students are suffering academically because they are at home in virtual classrooms. the ones who are here can get the right education because of all of the restrictions. hard to have labs and things like that. shutting down the country will be very detrimental to academics as well as the economy. >> i feel like people are starting to wake up to that, and realize that there is always going to be pure in life, there's always going to be obstacles in our way, we have to be able to overcome those things

and learn how to deal with them. i heard you say earlier it was a bad flu season last year, we didn't lock down our country for that. >> it's hard to learn online. i'm personally ready to go back to the in person classroom person classroom. >> we are isolated and alone. as many zoom meetings that are created, i know i'm not connecting with anybody personally. that's really hard. >> laura: it's not only college students who crave normalcy, republicans in minnesota are running on a platform to loosen these covid restrictions. if voters give them control of all the state legislator. they're calling it a contract to open minnesota. here to tell us what that entails is minnesota house minority leader, kurt doubt. representative doubt , what does this platform look like in practice. i know minnesota pretty well, i could get this answer, but how

are the voters fo responding? >> thank you for having me on. the same thing we are hearing in ohio, we are hearing in minnesota. , parents want their kids in school. we have the highest achievement gap in minnesota, which means are low income and minority students are getting at the same education as a periods. unfortunately our governor has a policy in place that has a d fault where most kids will be in a distanced learning situation. we are hearing from parents saying constantly that their kids who are normally straight a students are suffering and falling behind in the classroom. we have a very simple statement that we just believe that every minnesota student has a right to be in the classroom. at that should be the default. if there some reason, may be an infection and they need to quarantine, then they can

participate via distant lear l learning. >> laura: this was a big topic last night of course. trump has always wanted schools to open, europe has had almost all of theirs schools open during the entire pandemic. they don't really get the virus, if they do, and smiled. it's not even clear that the transmit the virus as readily as doeresults. adults. they're saying we have to listen to the science, here's part of what he said last night. >> i'm not shutting down today, but they need standards. the standards are, if you have a reproduction rate that's above a certain level, everybody says, slow up. more social distancing, do not open bars and do not open gymnasiums. do not open until you get this under control. >> laura: he went on to say that schools made money for new ventilation systems.

that's a pretty heavy cost, don't you think? every school may not have the hvac replaced before they go back to school? >> it demonstrates how democrats are trying to scare people. the science is clear, we've had kids in school for a couple of months and the data is clear, there was a great article in the atlantic recently that said the infection rate among students is .013% or about 1.3 infections per 1,000 students over a two week period. that's almost nothing, if you only have two warranty and the kids who came in contact with that 1.3 infection, we can successfully and safely open our schools and give the kids the education they deserve to have. >> laura: we also have other things happening in minnesota, which is unusually dutch or surprisingly, i should say, tight senate race with democrat

incumbent tina smith being challenged in a dead heat according to the latest poll by jason lewis. that's how bad it is. i didn't even know his name. is that a good sign for trumpet minnesota? >> it is. it trump has been visiting minnesota lot. we were hearing that he will probably come one more time. i know the is coming up to the iron range on monday. we think minnesota is absolutely in play. the president almost 18, one point and i have from winning it for years go. we think it's absolutely in play. the senate race, we think, those numbers are accurate. we think it's that close. jason lewis is a former congressman, the current senator tina smith is a former governor and pointed by former governor. she is probably the lowest idea

of any competitor. >> laura: she's a dud. nobody know say. she did not lead during any of the violence and the destruction in minneapolis. you never heard anything from her. minnesotans, you are nice, but now it's time to like -- no more mr. nice guy. you got to put out the fires, literally and figuratively. representative daudt, great to see you tonight, i hope you open up to minnesota sooner than re r than winter. a response to haydn's dark winter warning, next.

>> we are about to go into a dark winter and he has no clear plan. there no prospect there will be a vaccine available for the majority of the american people before the middle of next year. >> president trump, your reaction? >> i don't think we will have a dark winter at all. we are opening up our country.

we understand the disease which we did not at the beginning. when i closed and banned china from coming in and europe, but china was in january. months later he said i was zenophobic. >> laura: trump is an optimist and biden a pessimist. the "angle" told you the democrats were waging a war against freedom and against fun. for biden it's always night time in america. you have to work harder for less. sacrifice more in order to fund their radical destructive plan. for trump, like reagan, it's always morning in america because we are heaven blessed with liberty, faith and family.

and freedom is never than one generation from extension. let's not lose it on our watch. shannon bream and fox news @ night take it from here. have a great weekend. >> ♪ >> ♪ >> shannon: in just one hour we will be 10 days away from election day heading down the home stretch. joe biden sticks to his hometown as the president rallies his base this battleground florida. senator rick scott will join us live. and lawmakers on capital one were itching to talk first but the fbi beat to them to by interviewing
