>> laura: i have a mug. can you tell you what's on the mug? >> sean: tell me what's on it because i can't see it. i can't see you either. >> laura: i'm not arguing, i'm just explaining why i'm right. i don't know why, this always ends up next to me on the set. i have no idea. this is perfect but i don't know why. o i just noticed tonight, why do i always have the same mug? maybe it's because i do the show the way i do it. >> sean: have you ever tried a yeti cup? it keeps your drink ice cold forever. it was a pure liquid. i can pour a little. >> laura: i see the lime in there.

hannity, awesome show. thank you so much. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. tomorrow as sean was talking about is the real super bowl but why are there still so many outstanding questions regarding the events of january 6. we'll lay them out. also tonight, will you need a vaccine certificate to get one n airplane? i warned you about this last march. a former airline ceo said this will be a total disaster if biden pushes for it. and how politics pushed a billionaire musician into becoming a s fake cowboy. raymond arroyo breaks that all down in "seen and unseen." but first, biden's insurrection, that's the focus of tonight's "angle." let's face it. the democrats and the media that

serve them are like addicts looking for their next fix and their drug of choice over the past five years has been donald trump. they will snort, inhale and smoke trump 24-7 as they try to suck you into their downward spiral. if you're conservative and you voted for trump they want you demoralizedwn by the impeachment proceedings and the january 6 riot and they want you to believe things will never get better. if you're a democrat voter they want you possessed by trump hatred and obsessed with punishing anyone who supported him. why? because if you keep your eye on what's really happening out there, you're going to realize biden isn't running anything. he's barely awake. >> the bible tells us a weeping

man will endure for the night but joy cometh in the morning. >> laura: if you don't fall for their shiny object stick you're also going to see that his team is populated by snotty, oentitled, overeducated underperformingoi goof balls. they are slowly but surely dismantling our economy, attacking our prosperity and opening the door to and the endless stream of illegal aliens and gang members. the "washington post" admitted that biden's presidency is about to get slammed by thousands upon thousands of families and unaccompanied minors, all illegal immigrants at the southern border. if we had a congress that was focused on protecting american jobs, safety, healthcare, and education, they would immediately tighten the asylum logs.

trump's common sense policy required that applicants from central america who wanted to seek asylum in our country had to pass through mexico on the way. they had to declare it there. not after illegally crossing our border. but last week, biden did away with that. and that's not the only thing. he's going to dismantle our entire immigration enforcement. >> he's going to give some new guidance to no longer focus on deporting illegal immigrants who have been convicted of dwi and drug-based crimes, i'm curious how that's in the interest of public safety? >> nobody is saying that dwis or assault are acceptable behavior and those arrested for such activity should be tried and sentenced by the appropriate law enforcement but we're talking about the prioritization of whor is going to be deported from the country. >> laura: it's just

inconvenient. let the local law enforcement deal with it. keep welcoming more. think about this. at a time when we're seeing more crime, fewer jobs, and millions of kids stuck in zoom hell and not in school, biden's team is focusing on shielding illegals from deportation because he doesn't want to put them through too much stress. yes. they have to tell the truth on government forms but if they lie, no problem. the new ruling from uscifrn essentially locks in president biden's wishes to end the deportation of illegals even if they are caught lying about their application for u.s. taxpayer funded services, a green card or asylum. now, if that's not enough to make your blood boil, the "washington post" adds ice agents seeking to arrest fugitives outside jail and prisons will need prior approval from the agency's director in washington. gang tattoos would also not meet the narrower criteria.

folks, this is one ms-13, a billboard flashing. might as well be across central america and beyond. biden's open borders zealots have what they want. big business, they get their slave labor and the social justice warriors, the far left squad type they have their new population that can be molded and formed into socialist party faithful. eventually they hope to swamp the voting power of all of you americans out there who still know the country's traditions, constitution, and history. heck, you may not have stayed in a hotel in the past year but illegals arriving since biden'ss inauguration, they get to stay free of charge. san diego arranged housing for

hundreds of arriving migrants in a downtown high rise total wherr they are being quarantined before being allowed to join family or friends in the interior of the united states. it sounds so pleasant. can you believe that? at a time when our own people are suffering. now, that takes us back to tomorrow's barnum and bailey revival in the senate. democrats are arguing that trump welcomed and incited a violent incursion into the capitol.rr when it's they who are enticing illegals to bust through our borders, exploit oured resource, and commit crimes. and we're not talking about a few hundred. we're talking hundreds of thousands, eventually millions if the democrats have their way. there is an insurrection taking place against america all right. it's been going on for years in the deepest depth of the d.c. swamp. and now its figurehead resides at 1600 pennsylvania avenue.oi this insurrection seeks to overthrow everything we love about america by defaming it, silencing it and even

prosecuting it. this is an organized mob funded by billionaires. it's supported by celebs. and it's aided and abetted by propagandaistic news organizations every single step of the way. thesep insurrectionists have stormed our schools with blm indoctrinate fors, shuddered our classrooms by empowering union heavy, overwhelmed small businesses with idiotic stupid lockdowns.er they have robbed americans of good-paying oil and gas jobs with obscene climate change dictates. they have ripped down historical washington. patriotic americans are now afraid to speak their minds. they burn police precincts taking over entire city blocks. not just for a few hours by the way but for weeks.

and as in portland, months. so as they dangle their shimmering impeachment bobble in front of you, we'll methodically and relentlessly expose their real aims and also we'll expose those providing aid and comfort. soon america will see who the real threat to democracy is, and how the good guys, once again, can prevail. and that's "the angle." joining me is former acting dhs deputy secretary. ken, this is more than just a difference of opinion on immigration, tweaking this or that policy. this is endangering american lives tonight. >> oh, absolutely. and without concern for endangering those lives. when you see them blow off dwis, i wonders if the mothers against drunk driving that were supporting biden knew that he

was going to turn drunk drivers loose and leave them in this country instead of deporting. just about priorities -- no, they are funneling down the number off deportations dramatically by these limitations. they are trying to basically say if you didn't provably murder or rape somebody, you don't get deported. that doesn't leave ice a lot to do and yet we have 11 million, maybe tens of millions of illegals here and they are inviting hundreds of thousands more who are rushing our border, creating as we said they would a humanitarian crisis at the border and soon the board communities. >> laura: this is from ice's fiscal 2020 year report. they conducted 185,884 removals during fy- 2020. the vast majority 92% had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. those removed included 4,276or

known or suspected gang members and 31 known or suspected terrorists. ken, 185,000. looking at the biden criteria now, it seems like most of those people with the exception of maybe the terrorists and who knows about those, would be able to stay here. >> yes. i strongly suspect that you will see them attempt to cut that number by more than half. by the way, laura, when biden was vice president, they deported over 400,000 people in one year. so joe biden is not, you know, this is a political shift. we could deport far more if congress could cooperate and te courts wouldn't stand in the way. creating hurdles all over the place as they did during the trump administration. >> laura: people have to understand, because i was down there and i witnessed this first hand, and eagle pass station and through del rio, people come across the

board. they float the rio grande and some parts of the rio grande are very shallow. it's still very dangerous. they walk across on a pool float or a raft. then they are rescued by the board patrol. then their names are taken. they are processed briefly. and then a lot of those people,l all of those people now, are just going to be released into society. period. there is no returning people to mexico. there is no requirement that you apply for asylum while in your home country. biden has gutted all of that so this is a big welcome sign at the border now. come and you'll be able to stay. that's the insurrection. that's a major insurrection. >> well, that's the message they have sent, and they have exploded, exploded the daily illegal crossing numbers. you remember the trump effect four years ago. the lowest drop there in illegal crossings in a long, long time. now we have the biden effect and it's exactly the opposite.

explosion of crossings, while tying the hands of officers from dealing with it. >> laura: the great thing is, they will all be able to get vax fated -- vaccinated when the elderly people in california can't get theirs. fantastic. great to see you. what's the real reason that democrats and their media pals are hyping impeachment or a congresswoman's committee assignments? because again, it distracts you from what their real plans. the ongoing insurrection against our constitution and everything we love about this country. they would rather you focus on this impeachment issue. even though that's going nowhere. joining us now, delighted to have with us two guests. dinesh, how does the regular person out there who has been demoralized since the election, how do they go forward knowing

that this is going to turn around given what's happening before their eyes? >> well, i think we have to be honest and recognize things are likely to get worse before they get better if they get better at all. we warned that these people were going to do a lot of damage. the american dream hung in the balance. this is and very important election and american exceptionalism is on the ballot. we can't turn around now and say we were exaggerating. we were kidding. no. a lot of the bad things biden stood for he's going to carry out andn that means we're going to see with dismay things happening in our country that we neverat thought possible in our lifetime. that also means that americans who are on the fence who voted

for biden can look around and go, wow, is thisfo what i really voted for? do i want to see the dismantling of what makes america unique? they may have a second thought vote in the midterms two years from now and the presidential election in 2024. >> laura: just going back to the point of illegal immigrants crossing our border during the covid pandemic when most americans are being told not to travel, still, they are being put up in hotels. americans most of them haven't been to a hotel in ages and then they are just being released into society, i think that one fact infuriates most people. even people who didn't vote for trump. i don't think it sits well with them. >> yes. it's self-destructive because the government is destroying the sanctity of their own edict so people say to themselves, i don't think i really need a vaccination or i don't really understand why i can't do this or i should wear this or quarantine this when you're letting literally thousands of people come in with a standard that you don't apply to them but you do to your own citizens. citizenship is a disadvantage?

so while all of this is going on, laura, there are a lot of things that we're not talking about. we're $28 trillion in debt. we're going to borrow another $2 strillion. are we going to inflate our way out, stag nation or have zero straights? we've never had one party say to the other party that fringe member or candidate can't be on a committee. we've never had a situation where we're impeaching somebody out of office and the chief justice won't be presiding. these are radical ideas. the reason this is the most secure and most prosperous country is individual creativity and freedom of speech. reason the islamic world stagnated was the moors were every everybody's shoulder saying, don't do that it impedes on the status of islam. i know the soviet union and others are contaminated, director of research this way. that's what's happening. we're spending billions of

dollars and hundreds of billions of s people's hours in, what, i don't know what we call equity czars, inclusion and diversity workshops and it's very unproductive.in it's harming -- >> laura: i've get to get in another question. >> if they a say something -- >> laura: they are afraid. >> they are altering their research. >> laura: i think everyone has got to get off their heels and get on the offensive here in a thoughtful, smart way. they are the real racist. they are the ones giving people benefits based on race or taking them away based on race. and it has to be called out. we cannot be back on our heels. these people are the biggest frauds ever. they use their private jets. they fly around the world. then they lecture everyone else about their green agenda as they

are destroying lives including the oil pipeline workers. those are really great americans who had great jobs. again, i don't think this sits well with people. i don't think this is what people thought they were going to get. >> and also, these are people who suddenly are going to be shocked about the violence on january 6 and so on, where they have been encouraging violence, egging it on, putting up bail money 6 saying the rioting shoud continue and will continue. that's kamala harris. i think trump has an opportunity here.p the opportunity is not to make a narrow constitutional defense and basically say ineffective procedurally but defends himself on the charge of incitement by showing all the incitement on the other side so the violence of the left is put on full display for the american people to see. in some ways trump's radioactivity, the fact that he's been so much the focus of attention has diverted people from seeing what the left is doing.

it's important for us to now bring their activity to center stage. >> laura: and victor, i have to get in this question about liz cheney who is the gift who keeps on giving to the democrats and mine mainstream media. she comes out and says trump has no role in the future of the party. her own party basically voted to censure w here. why do we have gatekeepers saying -- i'm not saying he's going to have a role or should have a role. i'm just saying how did we get to that point? one person saying, oh, no, you don't have a voice. >> caught up in the frenzy of the moment. on your other point. it's innate to human laura, deterrence. you notice how the conversation has changed on impeachment in the last week. the house finally said maxine said this, joe biden said he was

going to take the president of the united states and beat him up. kamala harris -- all of a sudden, they are defensive saying this isn't fair. you can't do this. and i hate to say it, but without deterrence human nature being what it is, people will go -- people will become aggressive. when you deter them and say if you go there this is what we're going to do tit for tat,ec then people behave and that's what the republicans will have to do, if they play defense and they are passive they will lose all deterrence and they are going to erode into nothingness. they have got to say for every committee member -- >> laura: we've got to roll. constitutional challenged impeachment trial begins tomorrow there are still unanswered questions about the january 6 riots that sparked this effort. we're going to tell you what they are in a moment. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> laura: what happened on january 6 in our nation's capitol was horrendous, we all know that but given it's the basis for the secondha impeachmt farce of the former president why are there still so many unanswered questions about the day? for instance, what caused the death of capitol police officer ryanea sicknick. what's the status into the shooting of ashley babbitt? will we ever learn the name of the officer who pulled the trigger.

she was unarmed. my next guest has been trying to get answer to those questions to no avail so far at least. joining us from washington examiner, chief political correspondent and fox news contributor, author of "obsession." byron, i read your column about this and it was very methodical. you just laid out the questions. you went to the capitol police to get answers,es and -- >> and no answers. about 10 days ago, i sent the question, plus several more. how many injuries were there among capitolab police officers. did capitol police officers confiscate any firearms from rioters? did either capitol police officers or rioters fire any weapons other than the killing of ashley babbitt? there are just so many fundamental things that we don't know about this.rm i sent these questions about 10 days ago and have followed up a few times and have not received any answers on it.

>> laura: the death of officer sicknick which was so tragic and horrible obviously remains, lying in state in the capitol, extremely moving. we really don't know how he died or do we have any information on that? >> we all seem to hear from somewhere that officer sicknick died after being hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. the it was plausible. it was a violent effort to break in. there were all sorts of clashes going on but the days went by and we never heard any follow up on that and recently we've had some reports. there was one in the media and then the police chief of washington, d.c., the pometropolitan police, gave a press briefing a couple of days

ago and suggested that there really wasn't any evidence that officer sicknick had been hit with a fire extinguisher or that there was any blunt force trauma and the medical examiner was still searching for a cause of death, trying to determine the cause of death. one of the questions i asked was, was there an autopsy report for officer sicknick and would it be released and that was not answered either. >> laura: very interesting. odd. very strange. i mean, sounds like an incredible man. incredible life. why don't we know the answers to this? why are they aren't they answering your question? >> i don't want to suggest that there is any conspiracy going on but they are so secretive about so many of these fundamental facts. >> laura: why?

>> i don't know. as you said, this is a huge part of our political debate today. not just the impeachment trial, and by the way, the house impeachment managers trial memorandum says specifically that an insurrection killed officer sicknick by hitting him in the head with a fire extinguisher. it's right in the democratic memo here.ea so this is a part of our political conversation and we need to know the facts. >> laura: ashley babbitt did. she was shot. again, we don't know much more about that. it's all -- >> there have been some leaks, there have been some leaks to suggest that investigators decided it was justified. but again, we don't know because the capitol police have not told us anything publicly. >> laura: byron, thank you so much. it's good to see you. when it comes to impeachment there is this unanswered question, how is a constitutional affair for the

trial to be presided over by a democrat senator and not the supreme court chiefth justice? we all know that once it's over senator patrick leahy will take off his robe and then immediately vote to convict former president trump. joining us is ken starr. ken, as a former appellate court judge in the d.c. court yourself should this be considered odd or a potential conflict or is this just the way it goes in that crazy place on capitol hill? >> it's even worse. it's a blatant due process laviolation. the english speaking world, certainly the united states of america, you get a fair trial by having a presiding officer, a judge, who is unbiased. and that's the reason thatni the constitution built in the specific provision for the chief justice of the united states to preside. but of course the house managed to allow the president of the united states to leave. they could have brought the articles over and the trial begun and the chief justice would have presided. this is a violation of due process.

>> laura: and can senator ed markey -- he says, well, impeachment is the only option. >> we don't have a historic constitutional option not to have this trial. we don't have a choice. otherwise, future presidents, future office holders will feel as though they can act with impunity. >> we do not have an opportunity to look away. >> laura: ken, what is he missing here? they are so obsessed with trump. i said that in the monologue. they captain quit trump. he's the oxygen for the democrats. otherwise, we have to talk about how horrendous their policies are. >> they should do it in a

constitutionally appropriate way and they could have. they are not following the constitution. and i know there are lots of scholars who say no, no, no. they can do this. we can have eternal impeachment. any time you want to impeach someone, go ahead and impeach because the key is, if they are unworthy ofan holding office, don't leave it to the voters, don't leave it to the democratic process. and i view that as unconstitutional as well. looking back to the supreme court's decision in the case called powell versus mccormick, you can't exclude a house member. you can kick the house member out for misconduct once the house member has been admitted into -- but you can't rob the people of this country from the right to choose their leaders. and now that's what's happening, with somebody who is a private citizen. i also think for good measure it's a bill of retainer, they are trying to put a punishment to a private citizen, and that's wrong as well. on so many points but let's just begin with where we started.

you've got to have an unbiased judge and pat leahy for all his experience is not unbiased and that's a due process violation. >> laura: i might have missed this but did job -- john roberts just not answer their call. i'm getting my hair done or nails done. what happened there? >> we don't know. this is like byron, we're not entirely sure. we have a cnn report. that's not the way to run the government. there should be a formal letter fromom the senate and a response from the chief justice of the united states, not i'm busy, but excuse me, but the president of the united states is not being tried and therefore it would be unconstitutional for me to walk across the lawn, take the gavel. >> laura: the chief didn't want to pronounce at all. great to see you. thanks so much for being here. coming up, some bold comments that were less than super and echoed during a presidential

where to go because when they get there they may have to quarantine or things may not be open. and by making it harder for people to travel, we're going to be diverting resources from testing to going to people who may already be vaccinated or who show no signs, plus being on-board the airplane is proven to be a very safe environment. very few, only about 44 according to records, of people have contracted the virus on an airplane and most of those were before the industry implemented its mask mandate. so they would be talking about using limited testing resources to test people to go into an area inside an airplane that's b probably less safe than walking into a grocery store or almost any other place would you go outside your house. >> laura: i've flown a lot during the pandemic, and what i find so sad is how people have been just, i mean, they have
