tv   The Ingraham Angle  FOX News  January 11, 2021 7:00pm-8:00pm PST

7:00 pm
we are conservative. we are independent. we will follow all of this and point out that which the media mob refuses to ever report. we appreciate your support. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham is next. see you back here tomorrow. laura, hi. >> laura: hannity, do you recognize the color i'm wearing? >> sean: the color what? >> laura: this color, does this mean anything to you, this color. >> sean: recognize the color of white. i don't see anything. >> laura: it is a maroon colo color. and it's alabama that's going to win the national championship. that's why i'm wearing it. >> sean: you're giving us a "roll tide." i would be shocked if -- >> laura: that's all right, they are going to win huge. >> sean: if anyone in my ear can tell me what the score is presently. >> laura: we have the heisman trophy winner. >> sean: not that hard to figure out. >> laura: all right, fantastic
7:01 pm
show but i just wanted to see if you are really paying attention. >> sean: i wasn't but now i am. >> laura: awesome show, sean. great to see you. i'm laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from washington. should there be a racketeering investigation into big tex preemptive strike on certain corners of conservative media? congressman devin nunes says yes and he's here to tell us why. joe biden gets off scot-free for his incendiary commentary following last week's chaos on capitol hill? bob woodson is here and he's going to tell us why biden is leaning on all of this racially charged rhetoric. what's behind that. and kamala's cover controversy and arnold reveals his insecurity. raymond arroyo has that and more in "seen and unseen." but first, breaking up is hard to do. that's the focus of tonight's angle. long before last week's despicable siege of the capitol,
7:02 pm
we were warning you that the democrats were gearing up for counterincampaign of retributio. band, blocked, purged. social media is taking on conservatives and free speech. big tech is ramping up the war on conservative thought. what is their true goal? blunting trump's digital momentum. platitudes about loving diversity. increasingly they want none of it. meaning they want conservatives vanished altogether from the public square. instead of convincing people that you were right and they were wrong, it is shutting them down and taking away their livelihoods. i still remember when liberals were liberals, when they distrusted big corporations had they supported debate and dialogue. but long before trump, they gave up on trying to persuade political foes and they decided
7:03 pm
instead to persecute them. silence them. demonize them. with the rise of big tech, they now have powerful ideological allies to help do just that. both twitter and facebook have banned president trump and the twitter alternative, parler, lost its home on amazon web services. the dnc media, they tried to avoid the question of monopoly power altogether. >> this is a private company. we hear a lot of free-speech things. it's not the government. >> sensor if you are a government entity versus a private company making a decision. that you may have crossed the line with the privilege of using our service. >> it's very important context. it's not a first amendment battle. >> laura: the media is answering an argument that no one on the right is really making. we obviously know that facebook,
7:04 pm
apple, and twitter et cetera are private companies. we know that the bill of rights doesn't apply to private companies and when we use the term "free-speech, free expression," we are speaking metaphorically they can get that concept, not literally. the problem is that most participants on both sides are trying to fit their arguments into a libertarian framework in which policymakers should only concern themselves with government action. in that case, private actors should be able to do whatever they want. but it's been obvious for a long time that this framework no longer works. for most of the problems that we now face. private companies in the united states have too much power. many with market caps larger than the gdp of our closest allies. so much so that they can interfere with our national interests in all sorts of ways. by selling technology and shipping jobs to china, they can
7:05 pm
strengthen our major geopolitical foe. by promoting anti-american ideology, they can create the type of tensions that explode into riots and protests on the left and the right. then by pouring billions of dollars into our politics these companies can effectively corrupt our entire system. and by purging opposing voices off the internet altogether they can so further political division and distort the clinical debate in the country. in a sense, other than the changes in technology, this kind of harassing punitive posture is nothing really new for big business. does no one remember mr. smith goes to washington? >> either he falls in line with us and behaves himself or i will break him so wide open they will never be able to find the pieces. >> what is your interest in this? >> [laughs] well, anything that benefits the
7:06 pm
state is important to me. its industry, newspapers and other odds and ends. that you have the welfare of the state at heart like i have, i would say you are a man to watch. >> laura: the real villain in that movie isn't really the government. it's of mogul who owns a media company and uses that company to promote his business interests. there's always a risk that in a system like ours, a small group of rich people will end up having outsize influence, too much power. and that's where we are right now. so instead of talking about rights, it's time to start talking about power. of course a private company has a right to refuse service to potential customers but should any private company have as much power as the major tech companies have today? of course not. it's ridiculous. so it's time to start thinking about new rules. it's absurd to say that we have to just live with this crazy and
7:07 pm
unjust outcomes solely because those outcomes are dictated by the private sector. we are not libertarians. we are american. we are free to build the type of society that we want to live in. we don't let companies engage in insider trading, do we? we don't let companies, at least the ones in this country, you slave labor. we aren't going to let a tiny coterie of rich people corrupt our entire political system. this isn't about redistributing wealth. this is about redistributing power. and this process has already begun. president trump's administration about antitrust litigation against google. last month, 48 attorneys general and the federal trade commission filed antitrust charges against facebook, it's a huge move. it's a move to reverse the acquisitions of instagram and whatsapp that facebook did years ago. and it enjoys right at this
7:08 pm
moment broad bipartisan support, including from senator bernie sanders and congresswoman ocasio-cortez. yet both are also in favor of silencing voices like trump's. so i guess they are too rabid, they hate trump too much, they are too short sighted to see how this all could ultimately backfire on them. so i'd like to keep this simple. here it is. if big tech was truly worried about speech that incites harm and violence, well, youtube, facebook and twitter, they would have removed all the content from antifa and radical islamists years ago. they didn't. we obviously can't have the type of strong, free traditional middle-class society that we want if people have enough power to crush almost anyone who gets in their way. that's the situation we have right now. we cannot allow a situation
7:09 pm
where the ccp has unlimited access, unlimited ability to spout dangerous propaganda while the g.o.p. is effectively silenced. and that means we must ensure that this tech oligarchy never amasses that type of power, that much power again. and that's the angle. joining me now is john henry rucker, cofounder of the website power line and president of the minnesota-based think tank center for the american experiment and victor david hanson. victor, the bottom line is republicans need to get off the free-speech argument here because that ultimately runs into the constitution. instead talk about the power grid. with a few people having outsize power and influence. do you agree?
7:10 pm
>> absolutely. these three companies that went after parler, amazon, and google and apple combined together have 4 trillion in market capitalization, three of the five largest corporations in the world and they gave over 200 million along with silicon valley to joe biden and they put 500 milla 500 million n preselected precincts to enhance a particular vote so they are very powerful and they are coordinated. they are not in isolation. they take place when corporations are not giving their donations to preselected candidates. they feel they were participating in demonstrations. there's book contracts being canceled, radio talk shows posts being told what they can and cannot see. this happened remember right after michelle obama said that donald trump should be deplatformed. and it's asymmetrical.
7:11 pm
they don't go after books in defense of looting or people who advocate the destruction of israel on twitter and the sad thing is we have been here before in the 19th century. this is what the trust busters were trying to do and they made the argument, remember what the monopoly said. if they don't like the oil, don't use it. get on a horse. that's what these people are saying. if you don't like google or you don't like apple, don't use it. we are saying what do we use? gmail? or parler. they are worse than the 19th century monopolies because they are not even giving you the alternative of a horse. trying to control all methods. >> laura: speaking of lockdowns, total lockdown on information sharing for certain classes of people. in this case the political class. john, want to play the story from secretary pompeo addressing the voice of america folks earlier today. >> censorship, wokeness, political correctness all points
7:12 pm
in one direction, authoritarianism cloaked as moral righteousness. similar to too many university campuses today. it's not who we are. it's not who we are as america americans. >> laura: don't they all want us to be stuck on a college campus forever? >> yeah, the whole world is becoming a college campus. the point that i want to make is if we do have remedies. if these companies are suppressing conservative speech at the behest of democratic party politicians or in hopes of getting favorable antitrust treatment, we can do something about it. the courts can do something. if these oligarchs are conspiring together to try to crush a company like parler, it's a plain violation of section 1 of the sherman act. there is a remedy for that. by the way, laura, amazon lost $33 billion in market capitalization today after it
7:13 pm
was sued by parler. obviously the market thinks there's a risk. >> laura: and victor, this is also a fact, is it not, i'd say, let's be conservative, let same 100 million people of 330 million disagree with this cancel culture wokeness whatever you want to call it. that's a lot of people. right? that's a country. that's more than a country. that's two countries. that's a lot of people to lose, as john said, and those people have an ability to start their own businesses, their own schools, their own ways of communicating with each other. this drives a wedge into an already very divided america. >> yeah, want silicon valley is saying we're going to have a nation where if you are conservative, you have your own social media. if you're liberal, you have your own and never the twain shall meet. what they have done, laura, in
7:14 pm
the past, they told right-wing people, conservatives, we are laissez-faire capitalist, your entrepreneurial par excellence capitalist. leave us alone. you agree with us and then they go right around on the other side of their mouth and say to the left we are channeling our profits to you so you leave us alone. what they have assumed in their arrogance is that people in the conservative side would never do what they do and are too busy with their families and careers to notice all of this and they don't realize that if people stand up and say you know what, you're a monopoly, we are going to apply solutions that it worked for 130 years, we are going to do that we are going to not patronize you. they are going to be shocked at how powerful the people are. they think they have hollywood and academia and foundations and entertainment, professional sports, social media, now politics. they are right but there is still something called the people, the people. the people have a saying they they haven't woken up yet but when they wake up they're going to have a very loud voice and i
7:15 pm
don't think silicon valley had any idea in their arrogance the contempt and how people are angry. >> laura: you are seeing twitter's market cap. yeah, well, twitter market closed file. even europe is saying france and germany, different rationales. they have been chomping at the bit to regulate these companies. they haven't wishing to regulate these companies and republicans have stepped in to save them. that's the irony. >> the either irony, the graduate from karl marx university is coming out in opposing twitter and facebook and so on. even the east germans like free speech better than we do. >> laura: that's truly pathetic. go for it, democrat, big tech guys. thanks so much. among the techs cracked down on conservative voices, none i don't think was more egregious
7:16 pm
than the coordinated deplatforming of parler. they are fighting back and filing a lawsuit claiming that amazon web services was motivated by political eminence. joining me as a commitm commitmt devin nunes. the doj has been investigating this coordinated assault on parles? >> i would hope so. i have no idea to know that they have. but your last guest talked about antitrust, civil rights, i think there's under the rico statute, because clearly the coordination of this effort to systematically leak something to the fake news media before parler executives even find out in all three of these companies do it virtually in the same hour, that's the definition of racketeering. >> laura: remember they got into trouble some years back, a
7:17 pm
question of price-fixing of labor. remember with engineers, they were -- i believe it was a class action and they were like, wait a second. why are all the salaries the same? in other words, the allegation being that they were setting the feed. this isn't the first time their power has been questioned and litigated. there is a massive judgment against the big tech companies in that labor pricing case. in the hundreds of millions of dollars. >> i try to figure out, these guys had it so good. they wanted to be altruistic. about four years ago i started to see silicon valley attacked me for exposing the hoax. anybody that was exposing the russia hoax, you began to get targeted on the social media platforms and i quickly found myself where i had basically disappeared. i had hate speech used against me. i had my rights violated. i was slandered and defamed. i have been fighting those battles. i've been warning about this for
7:18 pm
four years. i think it's really important. i have some of my colleagues that need to wake up. they don't realize. think about the size of parler and what's happened in the last year and i was one of the first members to get on the platform. 25% of every trump voter is on parler today. okay. that's one of every four voters on parler. we have no way to communicate, laura. when i am on the other platforms, i get shadow banned so i stopped using them because nobody was able to see my information. i think with this is. what causes these people to do this? i think it goes back to the old saying, that absolute power corrupts absolutely. these guys are sick. these are sick people. they are sick in the head. i think you're right, they are just trying to buy off the politicians in washington. i think you mentioned it. facebook spent nearly
7:19 pm
$500 million, likely illegal because there hasn't -- they happen to drop it in to heavily democrat precincts that voted heavily for the democrats. >> laura: yeah, well, everybody spends a lot of money in these elections but we are spending like hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. i mean, i remember when the democrats used of a problem with that. but beyond that, congressman, we are seeing a corrosive and poisonous atmosphere fomented by a radical, waste radicals who did what they did in the capital and it was a despicable -- and i hope they are all prosecuted to the full extent extent of the law. it's infuriating. but we are having now a situation where they are poisoning and already poisonous situation with these moves. that is throwing kerosene on the fire as well. congressman, real quick. >> parler is dark right now. they are gone. you're not going to be able to
7:20 pm
get the app. you have 25% of the republican voters in this country. >> laura: no debate. they don't want to debate. >> no platform. they have no way to converse. no way -- they are not going to be on twitter anymore. they are not going to be on facebook. where are they going to be? they are trying to force them back to their own platforms so they can control them and feed them garbage. 25% of america is saying go to hell. we know you are full of it and you are fake news and we are going to be on your platform. and then the platform goes proof in the dead of night on the sunday night and it's gone, no longer there. >> laura: like the old soviet union. i lived there for a short period of time in college. no conversation. no debate, no conversation, do we are told. anyway, congressman, great to see you tonight. has biden's racially charged language affected the morale? of the capitol police?
7:21 pm

7:26 pm
just forget it. conservatism is gone. well, how many times have we heard that, right? you've heard it especially after the past few days that we may be might we be giving the democrats a little too much credit? the left has made it clear they can't compete in the arena of ideas so they have to turn their focus to relitigating the past four years. just remove dissenting thought altogether. how can the g.o.p. take advantage of it? take back control of the house and the senate and less than two years. florida senator rick scott has been just installed as the chairman of the national republican senatorial committee, and he says despite challenging math, he has a plan to do just that. senator rick scott joined me n now. senator, explain for the viewers very simply how even with a bit of a challenging electoral map especially on the senate side,
7:27 pm
how this current democrat overreach on resignation, impeachment, cancel culture can actually help republicans win in 2022. >> first off, i'm excited. i think we are going to have a great election in '22. i think we will take back the house and take back a majority in the senate and here's why. we are going to clearly show the difference. if you believe in big government, if you believe in high taxes, you believe in the cancel culture, you believe in more regulation, you believe in defunding the police, you'd believe in a smaller military, you believe in government run health care, you should vote democrat. support them. go all in. but if you want to make sure that all of everybody in the family has a chance had a dream with lower taxes and smaller government and allow you to pick your health care plan, somebody supports the military, individuals that support the police and we want to have a secure border, you know what you want to do? you ought to be all in for the republicans. >> laura: senator, hold on the second. didn't mitt romney try that in 2012 and joe biden said you're
7:28 pm
going to put people back in chains, as i recall. everybody thinks that romney was treated so well by the democrats but they lacerated him in 2012 and he lost. mccain lost in 2008. so until trump came along, they hadn't won since 2004 with george w. bush. >> well, in i won is government -- governor. i ran on the same platform in 2018 and we won. i won the hispanic vote because we talked everybody so i'm going to help our republicans, find great candidates just like kevin mccarthy did and we will help our incumbents and make sure we have great grassroots. we are going to make sure we clearly show the differences and we are going to raise money. if you want to give come you can go to the website and we are going to make sure people can run these races well and we're going to focus on election security and we are going to have big wins and 22. i think we are going to shock
7:29 pm
people what we can accomplish in november 2022. >> laura: clearly, senator, the democrats are going to use the chaos of last week, the incursion into the capitol, everything we saw. the loss of life. not to punish the people who did all of it but to punish the movement, meaning all of the ideas on china, immigration, deregulation, all of it, they are off the table. that is convenient, is it not? >> absolutely. but if you talk to american families, i talk to people in florida every day. they want a positive message. joe biden should be excited about the fact that he's going to become the president next week and should have a positive message. he's a hypocrite. he says i want unity but i want to call my opponents nazis. i want unity but if you want to move forward with impeachment, go ahead. this is not what americans want.
7:30 pm
how does my family get help? i want a job. i want my kids to have a great school. i want to have a safe community. democrats don't do those things. republicans do. >> laura: florida is a model. i've said that on election night, at the white house. florida is the model for going forward for republicans. texas, few other states. kristi noem in south dakota. we've got to have great candidates. no offense to martha mcsally or kelly loeffler, they were not the strongest candidates. i know you're going to help, senator and thank you so much for being here tonight. great to see you. come back soon. as the senator manchin, rather than the unifying force, that he claimed to be, joe biden threw gasoline on the fire and in bad faith rhetoric to put it mildly. much of it along racial lines. >> no one can me that if
7:31 pm
it'd been a group of black lives matter protesting yesterday that it wouldn't have been -- they wouldn't of been treated varied very differently. then the mob of thugs that stormed the capitol. >> laura: not only is the notion that the capitol hill police officers went easy on these folks was rejected by the video evidence, it's totally demoralizing the force. a report says that the capitol police have had to respond to a couple incidents in which offers threatened -- officers turn into harm themselves. a female officer turned in her own weapon out of fear what i happen. another officer reportedly committed suicide after responding to the rise. enemy knows bob woods and author of the new book "lesson from the least of. "bob, your reaction to what biden did in the aftermath. >> it's outrageous that they continue to weaponize race and also they are just marginalizi marginalizing. the character of a nation is determined by how we treat the
7:32 pm
least of its members. i think bill bennett and others have argued that when people see poor and blacks, they see a sea of victims and people on the right when they see poor, they see aliens. if you go to any of the major cities, you go into low income black and white communities, you'd be hard-pressed to know which political party is in power. the reason the president was so popular among whites is because he gave them a vote, voice. too many politicians look down their noses at these communities. what we are doing at the woodson center is recognizing that poor blacks are being exploited by race. the civil rights movement has been hijacked by the radical left, and they are using it to the detriment of black people. more blacks are killed by other blacks in one year then was lynched in 40 years of the client. these -- these problems have to be solved. what we are doing at the woodson
7:33 pm
center is we are giving low income blacks an opportunity to speak for themselves and also low income whites to speak for themselves. it can't be rhetoric. poor blacks in florida for instance, in a race, he won by 32,000 votes and that's because 100,000 low income black families voted for desantis because of his position on choice and education. they demonstrated that they are willing to put issues at a race even though obama and oprah came to campaign for the black candidate. it should send a signal to republicans. they've got to do more than just talk and look down their noses. they have got to use their voice. show up and take action to improve the conditions for people and not just write white papers or look down their noses
7:34 pm
as they have done. >> laura: everyone, bob, sorry to interrupt but people who don't know you. bob actually walked the walk. you are not a policy wonk who lives in a think tank world in d.c. or goes on television every night like me, frankly. you actually are in the trenches during the hard work and changing people's lives every day. it's amazing what you've done and what your organization has done in your work is really important. bob, thank you so much. up next, schwarzenegger raises a sword against trump and kamala's team, well, it has a problem with "bold" magazine. we will se tell you what that means. "seen and unseen" raymond arroyo next.

7:36 pm
7:37 pm
7:38 pm
7:39 pm
>> laura: it's time for our "seen and unseen" segment or we expose the big cultural stories of the day. for that we turn to fox news contributor raymond arroyo.
7:40 pm
raymond. arnold and the message over the weekend compared trump and his supporters to nazis. >> i am very aware of kristallnacht, the night of broken glass. wednesday was the day of broken glass right here in the united states. you see this sword. this is the conan sword. our democracy is like the steel of this sword. president-elect biden, we stand with you today, tomorrow and forever. >> laura: forever. laura, it's a bad idea to pledge allegiance forever to any politician. he will no doubt regret that. the larger point here is the governor has taken a moment of national tragedy and violence and made it all about himself, his personal background, what his father said, and i always worry when actors have to pull out a prop to remind the audience of who they are, laura. is every actor with a famous prop qualifying out a way it on a national event? can we expect political analysis
7:41 pm
from chris hemsworth? he's got to the qualifications. >> this is the original hammer from thor. >> you have the acts too. >> laura, wait until bette midler breaks out those teeth she wore in hocus-pocus. she can make the case that which teeth are well worn and as strong as our civil rights and maybe she will repeat this threat. arnold's comments were equally as unserious. let's not forget what schwarzenegger's performance is truly about. it's called payback for this. >> we had tremendous success. they hired a big, big movie star, arnold schwarzenegger, to take my place. and we know how that turned out. the ratings went right down the tubes. it's been a total disaster. i want to just pray for arnold
7:42 pm
if we can for those ratings. >> at least he's praying for him, laura. >> laura: i don't know. i don't understand it. the country is reeling. people are really upset. everyone is incredibly upset and horrified. i'm not sure what that added especially when you have to -- it's dramatic enough. we don't need a musical score underneath your produced video. it's dramatic enough actually what happened. >> when you spend your film career killing people, maiming people and beheading them, you're probably not the best messenger of calm and peace. a sword is it pretty bad analogy of what democracy is. a sword is meant to kill. he took on top of it it was the former governor of california. major blowback over a very important issue, the "vogue" magazine cover featuring kamala harris because people
7:43 pm
online are calling for, this is my favorite story, and a winter, the liberal editor, good friends of the obamas, to resign. she got caught and canceled culture. they say that it's a washed out mess of poor quality. i think it's a great picture of her. what's wrong with the picture? >> the people at vogue and the harris campaign worked together on all aspect of the shoots. the green and pink colors were in a in a march to her sorority. she chose to wear the converse sneakers. when vogue made this laid-back shot of harris it's cover, her camp said this was not the image that they had approved. they are losing it. >> laura: "the washington post" critic wrote "the cover did not give kamala d here is due respect. he was overly familiar. it was a cover image that effect called harris by her first name without invitation." oh, my gosh. that's bad writing. on top of everything else. >> vogue responded and they said
7:44 pm
that the informal image captured vice president-elect pence versus authentic approachable nature which vogue felt as one of the hallmarks of the biden-harris administration. here's my problem with all of it. we hear the argument and you've been talking about it all show. private corporations have a right to make editorial decisions, to ban the president of the united states and others from their platforms. at the same time, this group wants to know fire and editor of a private corporation for making an editorial decision about the cover of her magazine. because i don't think it's flattering enough. by the way, vogue released an alternative cover to the delight of the harris camp. they like this one better. >> laura: i mean, melania got all of those covers. wasn't unfair. >> zero. >> laura: what? she got no covers. >> none, still waiting. kamala harris is gone four cover story since the election in my problem is you don't get to create your own narrative.
7:45 pm
>> laura: raymond, raymond. this is a sign of all that is to come, this hugging, kissing relationship at the press. the tough questions are going to be, how much do you hate donald trump? do you think donald trump is the worst president of the last century or the last 200 years? can you expound on that please pay those of the types of questions they are going to be asked. raymond, that takes the cake. anna wintour is now the problem. okay. >> they need a burger run with kamala harris to fully humanize her. >> laura: brian williams will do that. why judge an outbreak of covid deaths at one nursing home coincide with an explosion of vaccine distribution? what is behind the story? dr. hervey dives into this mystery next
7:46 pm
7:47 pm
7:48 pm
7:49 pm
7:50 pm
>> laura: a massive covid outbreak at one new york state nursing home a skilled 24 residents and infected 137 since december 21st. what is striking is that all of this happened at the same exact time that 80% of the residence and half of the staff began
7:51 pm
getting vaccinated. joining me now is dr. harvey h, you say there areepidemiology some things that we need to understand about who these vaccine are actually protecting. and what they are not protecti protecting. >> good evening, laura. these vaccines are good but they protect the people who take them. they don't protect the people around the people who take them. so like the flu vaccine, the flu vaccine keeps you from dying from the flu by large and these vaccines will protect you from getting really sick or dying with covid. that is the aim. but they don't protect you from transmitting the virus to other people. and they don't work 100%. in fact we know from what moderna told us about their vaccine dead people over age 65 the only protect about 86% of the time and that means there's still a good chunk ofthey wouldf
7:52 pm
