miss an episode of "hannity," and we will remain independent. we will do the job the mob will never do. we will continue to fight for what is right. it's important what is going on down in georgia. georgia, your fellow countrymen need you. let not your heart be troubled. lower income's next. do you know what troubled my heart? i watch the interview with the restaurant owner you had last night, i felt so bad for her. >> laura: sean, this scene is being repeated all across the country, even in states like texas, where some of the most incredible restaurateurs of landmark establishments are finally going through their balance sheet at the end of the year, and they are finding they are down 70%, 50%, 40%. >> sean: they can't afford to do it. >> laura: no! they are all going to go out of business. >> sean: losing everything. california shutdown. new york about to shut down. >> laura: and you know it the biggest lie is? that restaurants are spreaders

of covid. there is no science without. they are the antiscience people and we are going to be calling them out on it. >> sean: as you pointed out, it's outside! it's warm in california. >> laura: no, they don't care. honestly, they don't care. fantastic show. >> sean: thanks, laura. have a good show. >> laura: all right, i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from a busy washington night. how did mark zuckerberg's hundreds of millions play into his swing counties in the election and should it be and be investigated? senator lindsey graham is here to tell us. we will tell you why lawsuits in the state of texas against various battlegrounds might be the most important 2020 challenge to date. and what if the covid case count was off? not just buy a little, but by a lot? a "the ingraham angle" investigation you cannot afford to miss. but first, the manchurian government. that is the focus of tonight's "angle."

for months, we have warned you about the looming red menace, china, and how a biden administration would strengthen their hand both here and abroad. simply put, the angle told you that a win for biden would be a big win for china. >> china isn't just looking to control our industry, but our cultural institutions, as well. a vote for biden is a vote to strengthen china's hand. biden has basically always carried water for china and his buddies. why not change the slogan to "build back better in beijing" his whole career speaks to internationalism. >> laura: biden tried to show himself as someone who takes china seriously, but it didn't take long for the ccp and its cronies to flood the media with all of these hopeful stories of a healed u.s. china relationship. just yesterday, executive gm,

cap of good know my caterpillar, and fedex heard a very warm and cuddly message from chinese foreign minister when he. both sides should work together to remove all kinds of disruptions and obstacles that achieve a smooth transition in china-u.s. relations. we need to strive to restart a dialogue, returned to the right track, and rebuild trust in this next phase of relations. mind you, when he says "right track," he means the track where china steals intellectual property and cheats on trade agreements and we sit back and let it all happen. and when he says "restart dialogue," he means we tell you what we want and you're going to give it to us. that means an end to the trump-era reciprocity requirements in business. and of course, that also means no more tariffs that help make our trade relationship fairer and gave u.s. exporters a fighting chance. in other words, china sees a biden administration, oh, that's

an opportunity to exploit. it turns out that beijing has been working for years with key biden allies on wall street to undermine an america first agenda. "the wall street journal" reporting in february 2018, beijing chief trade negotiator was in washington to try to avert a trade war. he turned to a select group of american business execs, mostly from wall street. "we need your help," vice premier lou told his guests, gathered in a hotel near the white house. and who was there? well, guess who? new york heavy hitters like blackrock chief executive larry fink, david solomon of goldman sachs, and jpmorgan chase's jamie dimon. now, goldman's financial ties to china date back to the 1990s and early 2000s during the hank paulson very profitable tenure at the company. now, of course, conveniently, pulse and later went on to be

obama's treasury secretary. now, paulson's carefully cultivated relationship is blooming under the current ceo, david solomon. the chinese communist party, according to the journal, dangled the prospect of more investment opportunities in china, if goldman and friends help navigate the future trade deals with the trump administration. well, it looks like sucking up to china paid goldman big dividends. the investment firm just confirmed that it will be the first global bank to get full ownership of its securities business in china. and what about jpmorgan chase's ceo jamie dimon? ever since that meeting with the ccp official in 2018, he has been extremely bullish on china. >> as, you know, an investor in china, you slow down for 4-5 years until you see the lay of the land, or you go all in? >> we are all in, so we are not

slowing down. >> laura: we are all in. we are not slowing down. not now. i'm sure it is a total coincidence that china decided to give jpmorgan full control of a futures venture in which it had a minority stake. huh. and lastly, blackrock ceo larry fink, i will put it this way, if traveling before the chinese communist party were an olympic sport, fink would be draped in old. in november 2019, he told his master's that blackrock should be a chinese company in china. to his chinese host, it was welcome contrast to the hostility from washington. larry fink wears his china ambition on his sleeve. the chinese know it. well, it should disturb you that biden's transition team is right now scooping up blackrock senior

employees. a recent bloomberg conference of irritating globalists, it was hard to tell the difference between what fink and the ccp officials were saying. >> the market is in desire of more stability. they are looking for a voice that moderates, not a voice that insights. i truly believe president-elect biden can be that voice of reason and is willing to work with the world on moving forward. >> we should build an economy that works for all. we must firmly safeguard the system under the wto and unequivocally reject unilateralism and protectionism. >> unfortunately, some marshes are acting against -- will walk away from the national commitments. >> laura: even the translators sound ominous.

well, when he said multilateralism, what they all mean when they say -- chinese dominance. economically and militarily. and to accomplish this, china isn't just targeting american business leaders, but also rising political stars. there is an explosive new report from axios about a chinese spy infiltrating the political campaigns of california democrats in the bay area. one of those up and comers was top russia hoax congressman eric swalwell. not only did this chinese spy help bring in donors for swell well's campaign, but she also got an intern placed in his d.c. office. we are going to dig into this and swalwell's utter hypocrisy in moments. axios' report confirms what the "angle" has been telling you for years: china is our greatest international threat. it is not russia, it is china. the fact that china has spent

decades infiltrating almost every aspect of american society should be well known to you at this point. our biggest corporations, and even sports leagues, kowtow to beijing on regular basis. and what else, we have media establishment completely compromised, regularly just reprinting ccp propaganda. and how can we forget california senator dianne feinstein? i mean, she out-did swalwell, if that is possible. she employed a chinese spy on her staff for only 20 years, no biggie. the influence of the ccp in our free society is so widespread and so pernicious, we need congress to step up and pass legislation barring any american who has profited directly from china from ever serving in elected office, period, no exception. but don't hold your breath waiting for that initiative to be announced. and i think you know why.

and that's the "angle." joining me now is stephen mosher come offer of "bully of asia." stephen, i said paulson was obama's treasury secretary, i meant bullish, but you know, same difference. back to the axios story. you say it was just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to china's infiltration our political class. explain that. >> absolutely, laura. 20 years, china had 8,000 front organizations in america. it's probably 80,000 or more now. there are hundreds of little pom-poms running around. that was the woman who came over as a college student in her early 30s, that should raise flags, 30-something college students from china are probably not what they say, they are probably spies he should come in and pose as students. helped eric swalwell as a young

city council get elected to congress, that was a score. she stayed with him, funding and sending in an intern, and then the big prize was he got on the intelligence committee, at which point in time, 2015, the fda came calling and said eric, you have a problem with this, and maybe you better sever the relationship, but you know what, this was actually an fbi failure, because this spy, who was going around with sex and money and supporting american politicians, got away, left the country, and it happened five years ago. >> laura: hold on. so fbi failure, i would say immediate failure. axios came out with this story now, but that perhaps would have helped a little bit, you know, a month and a half ago, before the election. all these stories would help if they were reported in real time -- hold on. i got to get to jimmy lied,

because we have been relisted and not discussing his case. a well-known billionaire, media tycoon, hounded, arrested, on bogus charges by the new security forces after china's communist takeover of hong kong, and gone is any hope there will be any independent thought left in hong kong after what we saw with his arrest, and members of his family also arrested. >> yeah, i have known jimmy lai for years, he's a hero of the democracy movement in hong kong, and he runs the only independent newspaper left in that once-vibrant city. "the apple daily." the chinese communist party is going to shut that down sooner or later. but they don't like jimmy lai because he is a christian, he is catholic, and they are persecuting people of religious faith because the only acceptable faith in china is faith in the chinese communist party and worship of its leader,

xi jinping. that is a strike against him. a broke my heart, the other day, young 17, 18, 19-year-old demonstrators who demonstrated last july for the freedom they had been promised under the sign of -- the agreement between china and great britain -- >> laura: never happen. >> taken to concentration camps across the border in china. >> laura: i have to interrupt, steve. where his hollywood? they are gone. by the way, breaking news just a minute ago, the biden administration is reportedly thinking of putting in pete buttigieg, former mayor of south bend, indiana, as u.s. ambassador to beijing. so is buttigieg going to take a tough line against china? >> i have a hard time seeing why the mayor of south bend, indiana, would be sent to china. he doesn't speak, read, or write chinese, he has no background in east asia. it almost sounds like -- >> laura: pushover. >> he will be offered sweetheart

deals and make a great deal of money in china and come back happier because of bad. >> laura: steven, thank you so much. the revelation about china's attempts to many play congressman eric swalwell or tip particularly eye-opening given his stance as a prominent russia hoaxer. >> i saw collusion from the very beginning when they were so eager to work with the russian -- >> you believe president trump is an agent of russia. >> we have seen an influx of russians into our political bloodstream, and that is something that did not exist until donald trump came on the scene. >> laura: those slanderous, idiotic, someone should disqualify him from sitting on the intel committee, but now we know he is actually susceptible to chinese manipulation. so, is it time to boot him off that committee? and again, consider a law that says, if you profited off of or have been manipulated by the chinese government, how can you ever work in elected office again?

or for the government? joining me now, house minority leader kevin mccarthy. congressman, people might not think committee positions are very important. it might seem like a very micro issue, but how important is this story, vis-a-vis our relationship with china and what they are trying to do here? >> this is only the tip of the iceberg. because remember what we are hearing. these are chinese guys that go down to the level of a mayor. a court and help a city council member become a congressma congressman. this congressman now gets on the intel committee. they are only selected from the intel committee by the leaders of their party, meaning nancy pelosi. nancy pelosi is one of the gang of eight, along with myself. did nancy pelosi know this transpired, when she put him on the committee? we have our senator, dianne feinstein, for two decades, the personal assistant to hear all of the private phone calls in the car and others, a chinese spy. why did the democrats pull out of a bipartisan china task force

i had set up? why did speaker pelosi pull out of that? why have they denied certain bills that would hold china accountable, that have passed the senate, not come to the floor? why do they focus on silicon valley members of congress? why is he still on the intel committee? why is he silly member of congress? did adam schiff know, as chairman of that committee, that he had this problem? remember what the intel committee did know my gets. information that no other members are able to see. and remember with this member did. he was so -- going after this president, he was not protecting our country from bad actors. when he questioned comey, he literally set up the question of what happened to him. >> laura: this is all -- congressman, this is a holding up the shiny object, the bogus object of russia, russia, russia, look here. meanwhile, china is going to count on us in other ways, including in his own office.

just a couple of months ago, swalwell was out spreading this life. watch. >> continues to try to say that china or iran are equally as threatening as russia, when russia is the only one who has a strict preference for donald trump, is trying to tear down joe biden, actively trying to run a disinformation campaign through congress. no other country is going that far or has that much resources. >> laura: so, he is vilifying radcliffe in protecting china. how does this guy get on the intel committee, and isn't it time for congressional hearings of some sort about the chinese influence? >> yes, that's what i did the task force. that's why i went forward -- the republicans did -- even when democrats pulled out of bipartisan. why is he going after director of intel john ratcliffe, who recently came out and showed china six times larger, spying, then russia is, 12 times fresher than iran, the only person

attacking him a fink. now we learn why. why is this person still there. >> laura: he just responded moments ago, congressman, to the axios story, saying to "politico," i have been a critic of the private event, i have spoken out against him, i was on both committees that works to impeach him. the timing feels like that should be looked at. so let me get this straight, donald trump is responsible for not so swalwell being duped for two years, before trump became president? what? >> sean: remember what swalwell said. he accuse the president of everything that he did. by lying to the american public and sitting on the intel committee. >> laura: congressman -- >> not only should he be removed from the intel, he should be removed from congress, as well. >> laura: well, i think there should be a real inquiry into how much he knew, when did he know it, and how did it actually happen? how did it go down? will open the door? >> when did when did adam schiff

know and went to the speaker no? >> laura: we need our own whistle-blower. for months, watched as warned about mark zuckerberg's money flowing into local election races. now it is clear some of that money went to the georgia county at the center of voter fraud allegations. senator lindsey graham offer his solutions to all of this, next. plus, why is a texas election most of the one to watch? we are going to explain it in fascinating, stay here.

♪ >> laura: it was back in september that the m second project sounded the alarm over the $250 million being funneled to the local election offices and races from a foundation funded by facebook ceo mark zuckerberg. now, on its face, this arrangement creates a lot of questions and potential conflicts, but few in power took it seriously. well though, maybe they should have. at least 6.3 million of it went to fulton county, georgia, which is ground zero for voter fraud concerns in that state. now last week, on the stud project director phil klein warned us that we could see more of the same in the georgia runoffs. >> they are doing the same thing, the zuckerberg money is pouring in.

they are eviscerating the chain of custody of the ballots, doing the same thing in their covid fear with private money, and it's going to make this election just as confusing and with evident fraud as the previous election. it shouldn't happen. >> laura: joining me now senate judiciary committee chair lindsey graham. senator, we have big plutocrats, i mean, make the argument, meddling in our elections by dumping huge amounts of money, he would know quarter of a billion dollars, is any of it illegal and what can be done about it? >> well, it's not illegal, but i think we need to stop it because we have had a liberal man spending spending millions of do help election only shows at the state level running an election. can you imagine if some conservative did this and there was a screwed up election where a democrat came out on the short end, it would be all over this. the bottom line is counties that

have -- and the point you made is the most important. if we don't change georgia law before the senate runoffs in january the 5th, same thing is going to happen to the senators that happened to president tru president trump. it's insane for georgia republican leaders not to have a special session to fix this before it is too late. >> laura: do you think -- this is what a lot of people are wondering, given the huge influx of cash into georgia, that people are on the take here, in one way or another? with a promise of -- we did a "angle" on how all of these big wall street types are getting sweetheart deals with new ipos, other investment, sweetheart deals with china -- what is going on here with zuckerberg and the democrats? are people just laying down, lying down, thinking, well, i'll get ultimate -- ultimately rewarded in the future? >> i just don't think private groups should be able to fund

public collections. there is no good outcome here. he may be civic-minded and have a good purpose, but he doesn't pass the smell test. look at what happened in fulton county. if you have to audit the signatures in the presidential election, you would find, i believe, massive problems. the reason we don't have an audit is not because of any democrats, it's because we have republicans in georgia that refuse to allow president trump to look at the ballots in a bipartisan way, the signatures on the envelopes, and see if they are actually genuine. until you do that, i don't really accept the outcome of the georgia election as being accurate until you have an audit of the signatures. >> laura: and congressional hearings, people think they are a waste of time sometimes, but don't you have the power, as senate judiciary committee chair, to conduct hearings on all of this? on the china issue, what happened with swalwell, then

feinstein, for a 20 year period, and now this? asking mr. zuckerberg, exactly what are your intentions and why do we have chinese spies working for u.s. elected officials? >> you can't really make this up, laura. you've got the number one prosecutor, persecutor of donald trump, alleging he and his campaign and his family were tied to russia, who, in fact, had his office infiltrated by chinese intern that came from a recommendation of a chinese spy. does he have the good judgment to be on intel? so, at the end of the day, if a republican were at issue, could you imagine what they would be saying if kevin mccarthy found himself in the situation? i think, after this election is over, i want to do a deep dive into 2020 election about about mail-in voting. you can't verify the signatures as ripe for fraud, go boat in person coming up to present an i.d. to prove you wh you areo you say you are, and you've gota

single person verifying signatures. that is right for fraud, and this consent decree that stacey abrams conduct the georgia republicans in designing, if we don't change things now, i'm very worried about the outcome of the senate races. >> laura: senator, great to see you tonight. thank you for joining us. breaking tonight, the supreme court is giving georgia, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin, until 3:00 p.m. thursday to respond to an election lawsuit filed today by the state of texas. the suit arguing that those states violated the constitution in the process of appointing presidential electors by unlawfully aggregating state election laws. we are also learning tonight that louisiana is about to join that texas case. joining me now is john eastman, claremont institute senior fellow, former supreme court law clerk, and constitutional scholar. john, for the lay people out there, tell us why this lawsuit is one that we should be

especially all paying attention to, given the sam thing called original jurisdiction -- not to sound like a geek here. >> it's great inside baseball. one of the things most people don't know is the supreme court normally is the appellate court of last resort, but in a couple of types of cases, they have original jurisdiction. in one of those types of cases, its original and exclusive, and that group are cases between two states. we didn't want states warring with each other, and they gave us power to settle disputes between states to the supreme court come exclusively. so, texas has named pennsylvania, georgia, michigan, and wisconsin, for violating election laws. now, the underlying issue there is a terrific one for the supreme court, because it doesn't turn on proof of the allegations of fraud and the dominion machines and all these other things that are huge evidentiary matters. it turns on a very simple legal question. did these states conduct an election in violation of their

state law? because article two of the u.s. constitution says that the body that has the sole authority to create the manner for choosing presidential electors is the legislature of the state, and they do that by their state statutes. and when the pennsylvania secretary of state ignored those state statutes and absentee ballots contribute to the state statutes, doesn't do voter identification or signature checking, contrary to the statutes, those violations of statutes that were designed to prevent fraud are enough to trigger the federal constitutional violation that texas has alleged. >> laura: so now, the briefing schedule is what it is. it is very expedited. does that mean the case will definitely be heard by the cou court? could they still kick it out? >> they could still kick it out. the way original jurisdiction works, the court has claimed to have even on state on state cases, jurisdiction, discretion on whether to take it or not.

so texas had to file a motion for leave to bring this original action, and that is what the defendant states have been asked to respond to -- >> laura: what is your gut? what is your gut, will they take it? >> my gut is there going to take it. they're going to take it and look at it on the merits. this is an extremely important legal issue that the supreme court has already twice in our history set of election laws in the state are not followed it violates the federal constitution. they did that and bush versus gore, and they said back in 1982, mcpherson versus blecker. >> laura: well, john, this is fascinating. these are the cases -- this is the case, i should say, that i've been waiting for, and i can't wait to see where it goes. john, thank you so much tonight. and are we being misled about the number of positive covid cases? dr. harvey risch is here to review the new science. stay there. i'm always doing something.

i'm not a person that's going to sit too long. in the morning, i wake up and the first thing i do is go to my art studio. a couple came up and handed me a brochure on prevagen. i've been taking prevagen for about four years. i feel a little bit brighter and my mind just feels sharper. i would recommend it to anyone. it absolutely works. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

>> laura: now what if i told you the main method of assessin? not by a little, but by a lot? local, we have been led to believe the pcr test for the covid are the gold standard for determining whether or not you have the virus. for months, scientists have known these tests are wildly inaccurate. back in august, "the new york times" reported, testing data that included pcr cycle thresholds compiled by officials in massachusetts, new york, and nevada come up to 90% of people testing positive carried barely any virus. the testing threshold was so high it may detect not just live virus, but also genetic fragments, leftovers from an infection that posed no particular risk. joining me now is dr. harvey risch, epidemiology professor at yale school of public health. dr. risch, all these monumentally important decisions affecting our lives, quarantine, who should quarantine, when restaurants should close, when

schools should be closed, based off these figures. now, what are the repercussions of all of this? >> well, i think it is a mistake to base almost anything on the case numbers. it should be basing decisions on hospitalizations and mortality. the case numbers are variable and have to be taken with kind of a grain of salt, and we would make way too much and our anxiety is way too high based on the case numbers. >> laura: well, we have known for some time now that this test is inaccurate in the sense that it produces far too many false positives. with a false positive, explained to the viewers, when you cycle a test for up to 40 cycles, you can detect a minute, even dead virus, dead, small fragments of virus, versus having so much virus that only 25 cycles can show it -- am i stating that correctly?

>> pretty much. the test works by each time you cycle, you double the amount of genetic material, and genetic material is very microscopic and you have to double it many times in order to be able to see any, and so, those are the cycle numbers. so if you double it 40 times, you are talking about 2 to the 40th, which is billions and billions of copies, that's way too many. almost anything will look like there is genetic material when you cycle it 40 times. this question is where to draw the line, and saying this is my virus. there were a couple studies reported by "the new york times," including the new york state testing laboratory, where they looked at testing for live virus by pcr, and they found at the cycle level above 34, it is almost impossible to culture any live virus comes to what you're seeing seeing is remnants, fragments of genetic material from all infections that are just left around, that are put onto the swabs when the test is done.

and they are not meaningful having a current infection. >> laura: meeting those people who test positive with that high number of cycles would likely not have infected anyone and are being quarantined, missing school, missing work, anything else that happens as a result, for no reason? >> well exactly. they might have been infected well before, weeks or a month before the test was done. and there is a reason why they have some genetic material there, but it is not infective now, and the horse is out of the barn, it's too late to worry about them being infected. >> laura: for anyone who cares about these things, and we do, right, dr. risch, florida is the first state to require all of its labs to report the cycle thresholds are used in the test come in the pcr test. i think we are about to learn a lot more about how inaccurate these pcr tests are and what the implications are for all of us.

dr. risch, thank you so much. and riley continued to paddle inaccurate pcr test results, the medical establishment has completely dismissed a drug that doctors all over the world are now successfully using to treat covid patients. it's not just hydroxychloroquine, but dozens of therapeutics that are far safer than a vaccine that we still don't know a lot about, is that true? joining me now is dr. peter mccullough, internist and cardiologist, spearheading efforts to get this countervailing perspective in front of congress. dr. mccullough, you say -- we call the medical establishment, big med -- are engaging in what you call "therapeutic nihilism." explained that. >> laura, thanks for having me on the show and let me say my opinions are my own and not necessarily those of my institution. but boy, november 19th and today, december 8th, 2 big days, ron johnson and the senate subcommittee hearings, the important information for

americans. and what we have learned is there has been a prevailing view of therapeutic nihilism, or nothing can be done. what we have learned is that sequential multi-drug treatment for early covid-19 patients at risk come over age 50 or with medical problems, with three layers of medicines, and i infective's, corticosteroids, and then and then antithrombotic's or blood been marketed improvements in outcomes, cut mortality in half. >> laura: i think we know now, looking at the language, that in order to get emergency use authorization for these vaccin vaccines, it can't be that there are safe therapeutics that show effectiveness against this particular virus. that's one of the requirements for the emergency use provision. so, you kind of couldn't have hydroxychloroquine working, or

i've remapped in, or steroids, or a combination, correct? >> well, euas is not needed for available drugs that can be used in appropriate off label use. so it turns out hydroxychloroquine, we heard today about -- which i think honestly we should have brought into the united states very early on. it's used in russia, india, china, as a direct, oral antiviral, but one of those three drugs paired with doxycycline and erythromycin -- >> laura: what we are saying, dr. mccullough, as there was a campaign, a concerted campaign to vilify and dismiss and demean, and frankly lie about it, the ineffectiveness of these drugs. i can't think what else to call it. >> laura, to be honest, if you go back in history, this is not

uncommon in pandemics. there is such fear and anxiety, a few people stepped to the front as leaders. what we have heard today is leaders who have innovated their protocols and presented them, from milwaukee, from florida, they are clearly keeping people out of the hospital. there are many that step to the side, and some that are voices in the back as detractors. what has happened is there are some detractors. coming on board, patients are being treated. there is a guide that is available that supports doctors in treating patients, and if doctors are uncomfortable working with these medicines, now there's telemedicine networks -- >> laura: you still have pharmacies and pharmacy boards threatening, being frightened, doctors not allowed to prescribe or being hassled for prescribing certain of these antiviral therapeutics. that hearing today, ron johnson deserves three gold stars for bringing those great experts to the field so people could actually hear them. doctor, thank you so much.

will be running the department of health and human services if confirmed? >> what we need to know is we have a real culture warrior for the radical left that is going to be in charge of health care policy for america. icertainly as the federal government is concerned. when he was the california attorney general, he pursued the most extreme pro-abortion policies, he opposed making it a crime to assault a pregnant woman and kill her baby. he opposed making it a crime to kill a newborn infant in a nursery who had survived an abortion. and of course, he opposed making it a crime to commit partial-birth abortions. and not, you know, he actually brought felony charges against a pro-life undercover journalist because that journalist exposed planned parenthood's

selling of aborted baby parts. he is a real warrior for the left. >> laura: he is bought and paid for by the national planned parenthood coalition. now, becerra, he also has attacked christian business owners, basically defending attacks on them for not paying for their employees contraception, even if it is against their religious beliefs. watch. >> right to the owner has the right tohis o, but that does not mean you get to discriminate against women if women have different leaps than the owner and the woman must exercise our right under the constitution. >> laura: jim, of course, this is the hobby lobby case. the supreme court smacked him down on that argument, but does that worry you, some of the power that he is going to have, to leave this department? he has such a ridiculously flawed and horrific view of religious liberty rights.

>> he has sought to undermine their religious freedom. and it's just not commenting on the hobby lobby case, but that he has consistently gone to court to find people of faith and to try to undermine their religious beliefs. he went to court to try to stop the trump administration from extending conscious protections to health care workers. he tried the sisters of the poor to these united states " -- >> laura: he is a radical, but we've got to roll, jim. point made, the man is an unrepentant radical. up next -- thanks, jim. up next, an old vet declares victory againsth, a new flow.
