never let a crisis go to waste: the truth about disaster liberalism."" go to jason than the house.com to learn more. sean is back on monday. have a wonderful great weekend. ♪ ♪ >> laura: this is the ingram angle from washington on this friday night. h for months this show has said what others were afraid to say. lockdowns do more harm than good and herd immunity is within reach. now more medical officials are suddenly coming around to our position. remember, they vilified us for h it. my question is why did it take so long? tonight we'll talk to two renowned epidemiologists behind what's known as the great barrington declaration. it drew the ire of dr. anthony fauci. they say the reputations of many will be chattered when the history is finally written on this era of covid.

speaking of dr. fauci what does he have to do with modern dating? raymond arroyo explains that in friday follies. but first -- why this day matters? that's the focus of tonight's angle. >> if you're like me, you probably every now and then think back on what things were like just one year ago. think of how many things have changed in the past year. a year ago, we had a booming economy. we had strong borders. and a whole host of rights and privileges that we took for granted like the right to travel without being surveilled and questioned.os the right to worship without restrictions. the right to have your kids attend school. the right to speak freely on utmost social media platforms. the right to walk in the park or anywhere without a mask or two or three on your face. the right to visit loved ones in hospitals and nursing homes. but the arrival of the chinese virus followed t by the idiotic

lockdown policies of blue state governors and then, of course, defeats of donald trump led to a less free, less prosperous, less optimistic america and listening to joe biden speak today in michigan you couldn't help but think that biden and fauci are going to keep us under their thumbs for as long as possible. >> try to explain to the american people that this is a process, social distancing saves lives. t we're masks saves lives. we'll be approaching normalcy by the end of this year and god willing, this christmas will be different than last. but we're doing everything the science has indicated we should do. >> laura: no. no, mr. president, you are not. the science showed us almost 10 months ago that schools should never have s closed. but now biden says schools still can't open because of things

like we need more bus drivers so the kids can socially distance. by the way, you all need new hvac systems. viral mutations, variants, new strain from africa but the virus and data, real science, they are not cooperating with the control freaks. now, look at these charts. the number of infections. hospitalizations. the number of deaths due to covid, are plummeting. smart americans see this. and contrary to what the cdc director said this week our citizens aren't just suffering from covid fatigue. it's more than that. they are seeing the truth slowly emerge about how biden and company are plotting to forever change america and use the virus to do it. for one agonizing month into the

biden administration and things are already starting to go south for them. on foreign policy, remember, he pledged to turn the page from trump's get tough, by working with our so-called european allies. he delivered an uninspiring cliche ridden snoozer of a speech virtually at the g-7 today. >> the transatlantic alliance is back. and we're not looking backward. we're looking forward, working in lock step with our allies and partners. so let me erase any lingering doubt. the united states is determined, determined to reengage with europe. to consult with you. to earn back our position ofpe trust and leadership. >> laura: i'm sorry, did we put you to sleep? wake up, now. of course, what america gravels, the new administration may be ready to embrace multilateralism but allies and partners aren't

so quick to jump in bed with washington. european leaders in particular aren't yet sold on meeting witha biden administration's expectations on china, russia, and trade.n nice going, joe. well, under biden, powerful u.s. industries and institutions went back to their pre-trump love fest with china. we've already seen this happening and the president himself let slip this week what really thinks about the ccp's most egregious human rights abuses. >> culturally there are different norms in each country and their leaders are expected to follow. >> laura: cultural norms, differences. subjugation of the weak, cultural norms but that's okay because while china dominates under biden we'll continue to waste untold billions defending other nation'sor borders. >> i'venu ordered the halting ad withdrawal of american troops from germany. i'm also lifting a cap imposed by the previous administration

on the number of u.s. forces able to be based in germany. >> the united states will not undertake a hasty or disorderly withdrawal from afghanistan. that puts their forces or the alliance's reputation at risk. >> laura: the alliance's reputation, after, what, 18 or 19 years? by the way, where is the squad? i thought they were anti-war. what complete sell-outs they are. and the domestic policy front, it's not just the biden administration's pro union anti-science approach to schools that's turning people off. it's that they are compounding our economic problems by adding new illegal immigrants to the mix.ci and not just pushing for amnesty for upwards of, what, 29 million illegal immigrants but now they are going to deport thousands who were already deported, back into the country under trump. that is a complete scandal and terrible weather conditions that have hit texas.

it's heartbreaking. they reminded us how crucial the oil and gas industry is to our country and what a total catastrophe biden's green new deal would be to us. in fact, when it actually came to getting the power back on in texas and saving lives, biden didn't send solar panels. he sent diesel generators. fossil fuels to the rescue. you bet. now, i'm cataloging all of these early biden policy disasters not to depress you but to inspire you. it may not seem like it but on issues that matter things are starting to move in our direction. we're already beginning to see that biden's policies don't work and they won't work. we need to look beyond washington. don't forget, an enormous amount of power still resides with state legislatures and governors. as the "washington post" reminds us that's where the republicans now enjoy unmatched power.

and don't forget, that president obama, remember, he was a hell of a lot more charismatic and far better politician than joe biden would ever be but early in his first term, conservatives and independents rose up and they regained control of their government one branch at a time. first, remember the house in 2010. and then the senate in 2014. and finally, the white house. in 2016. all that it took to create the tea party to get it going, was a spark, and in this case that spark happened 12 years ago today when a cnbc correspondent on the air to take a stand against obama's radical agenda. >> this is america. how many of you people want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage that has an extra bathroom and can't pay their bills? raise their hand. >> president obama, are you listening?

>> laura: president biden, are you listening? and that's the angle. >> joining me now, mollybist hemingway, ari fleisher, both fox news contributors and host of fox nation. molly, a year, a lot has changed. we're weaker, as far as the economy. china is more on the rise than it was before. and a lot of people are demoralized, but do you sense that things are changing, that people's eyes are slowly being opened? >> what's interesting is when you look at the 2020 campaign, so many of these issues were not fully discussed because of the way that our media hand the debates or handled the discussion of issues. so lot of people didn't realize that bide within's close ties to china might handle things. he promised unity and he's done

anything i think people are kind of seeing the opportunities here for where to push back and what to do in the phase of some o really dangerous and disunifying policy proposals. >> laura: biden spoke out about china and trade and issues of climate change in his speech today. watch. >> competition with china is going to be stiff. that's what i expect. and that's what i welcome. because i believe in the global system, europeom and the united states, together, with our allies, worked so hard to build over the last 70 years. >> laura: the global system, that biden is praising, is in part, what allowed china to become the dominant power in the first place that it is. >> the problem with the global system is very often what happens is america gets bogged

down by it. you really need a powerful leader to bring the rest of the world on-board. instead what happens is, they say let's not do that. you push china too far if you do that we don't like your tariffs. withdraw your tariffs and then the american president if he wants to keep the coalition together has to buckle down. when it comes to unity joe biden said in his inaugural t address that his whole soul is it in and as we soon by the way he governs, his executive orders and the partisan path with the largest spending bill in history it looks like half his soul is in it. half his soul is out of it and kamala has a tie breaking vote on his soul. i don't know what he means when he says his entire soul is in unity. doesn't seem to be. >> laura: biden has also celebrated our officiallyy rejoining the paris climate agreement. today he did this. >> as of today the united states is officially once again a party

to the paris agreement. we have to rapidly accelerate our commitments to aggressively curb our emissions. our host a summit to help drive a more ambitious action among the top emitters including domestic climate action here in the united states. >> laura: he didn't move at all during that speech. laura, this seems like bide isn't just signaling not just the end of, of course, our energy independence, but american sovereignty? >> you know, laura, it's really the most curious thing because they are not even hiding it anymore. it's global, global, global, globalist, climate change has to have a global solution. china, you mentioned, how can you rejoin the paris accord and be competitive with china when the paris accord gives china a free pass at your own expense, by the way? and are what's happened here, you know, media and political operatives who were inserting these false narratives into the media and using the media, so

much of the media is an instrument of their political operations. what they didn't want anyone to face was that this all began because of globalism. people in this country were tired of the fact that they were lied to. we were sold globalism is going to make everyone's lives better but no one said it would shut down entire american towns, and impoverish american workers and that our national security would be so drastically compromised because we gave china complete and utter control over our manufacturing capabilities, and let them steal all of our secrets, our trade secrets, our practices. i mean, the list goes on and on and on. you know it well. this program has really been at the forefront of exposing this but what's extraordinary is that biden is not hiding it. why is he at the state department soo much? why is he not at the white house? a grant theatrical performance, such a thing doesn't really exist, why isn't he do more white house presidential kind of things? andte it really speaks volumes o

how he's governing, and they are rnot going to be able to headlined the lid on this because millions and millions of people in this country see it for what it is. you're right. they do see it for what it is. people are waking up and they are not just going to take it lying down, and that's, you know, the nerve racking part. is that why they are preparing to take away your gun rights? is that why they have opened up the borders, bypassed the illegal immigration system, de criminalized crossing the board. do you know who they are letting in? they let in a terrorist from yemen. i confirmed it with two different sources. >> laura: i think laura is on to something. i know ariur and you have discussed this before but the way things are liningri up, sees like they know that the public

is going to say no to what they are doing at some point. we're done with. this we're done with the barb wire, razor wire around the capitol. we're done with our kids not being in school. covid restrictions because it's almost gone. we're done. this domestic terror tag that they are using for pretty much anyone who disagrees with their policies, white b supremacy, domestic terrorist, that's like the new patriot act focused on us, the american people. >> it is. >> laura: feeling like that. >> that's absolutely what it is. it's criminalizing all political opposition to the left. one of the things that was global about recent years was that there were populist uprisings throughout the globe. and a lot of the response to that was not for the elite to think about why are these people so dissatisfied with how we run things? why are they recognizing all these corruption, whether it's in crony capitalism or how we've handled immigration or how we've hand foreign wars, how can we improve our management ofhe thee things?

instead they are thinking how can we lock down and make sure we have control over and against these people? it's precisely the wrong reaction you should have if you want to have a continuation of a peaceful republic but it's what they are doing, and i do think it's because they understand it was a very narrowly won election, not just in the senate but in the house as well so they have a very tenuous hold and they want to do what they can to cement that they already have control over so many institutions, media, they want to make sure they weaponize that for the future as much as they can.n. >> laura: so everything is white supremacist. if you disagree with biden, white supremacy, whatever they want to say. ari, youre old friend -- >> even if you're not white. >> laura: exactly, even if you have to be of color. james carville gave a very

objective analysis about biden's first month in office. check this out. >> honestly, i would love -- i really can't think of anything -- he's doing extraordinarily well in his policies and everything he's done so far. >> laura: nothing. school reopenings, illegal inimmigrants pouring across the border. china poised to dominate. everything from rare earth to major other construction projects. nothing. no criticism? >> he obviously doesn't work on the keystone pop line. his very first action was to put 11,000 workers out of jobs as he carries out an ideological energy agenda. when it comes to the minimum wage. he's trying to jack it up to such a high rate that teenagers who get the minimum wage under biden, who have part-time jobs, would be getting the equivalent of $30,000 a year? i mean, that's a job killer. you can see ipads in restaurants

instead, of people. this is write -- where i think wages and jobs come down to. what he's doing on the job front, laura, really does bother me. his energy policies, he wants to make sure all american energy by 2035, in 15 years, comes from renewables. d think about what happened in texas this week. if all electricity had to come from renewables? the lights would still be out in texas. >> laura: as the angle just said, it would be a disaster for america. complete disaster but they want us to travel less, have less, have less prosperity. that way they can control the people. far more easily. panel, great conversation for a friday night. thank you so much. and the current realities of the pandemic make something crystal clear. when the full score of covid is written, the conventional wisdom

about which experts got it right swill be destroyed. in moments, we talk to two renowned epidemiologists who were not just ahead of the curve but were slandered and defamed for speaking out. don't go away.

(soft music) ♪

♪ hello, colonial penn?

♪ ♪ >> we should hope that within a week, maybe a little bit more, we'll start to see a flattening out of the curve and coming down. i fully expect that by the time we get to the fall that we'll have this under control. >> if people are aware and do reasonable things, we can get back to a normal economy, a pretty normal economy. >> i hope that we'll get back to somete sort of normal by mid to late 2021. >> i think it will be easily by

the end of 2021, and perhaps even into the next year before we start having some semblances of normality. >> laura: 2022? oh,it midterm elections. okay. mail-in voting. how about this spring. a new op ed, a doctor snaps back. national immunity from prior infection is far more congressman that can be measured by testing. covid will be mostly gone by april, allowing americans to resume normal life. this program has led on the issue of herd immunity. we've been talk it for months. back in october we were the first to showcase the renowned epidemiologist which cautioned against lockdowns and predicted herd immunity was within reach but the media cartel did not take kindly for that. for simplyly pointing this out this show was referred to as a "death cult." and dr. fauci responded this way. >> quite frankly, that's

nonsense. and anybody who knows anything about epidemiology will tell you that that is nonsense, and very dangerous, because what will happen is that if you do, by the time you get to herd immunity, you'll have killed a lot of people that would have been avoidable. >> laura: forget about the people who died because of the lockdown. the truth always prevails and tonight the barrington scientists are here to respond. joining us is professor fromil stanford university and a harvard medical school biostatistician and epidemiologist. why did it take so long for scientists to come along to the conclusion that acquired immunity or natural immunity was going to be upon us sooner than all of their predictions, especially with fauci saying we needed 80 to 90% herd immunity? >> i think people overestimated the ability of these lockdowns to do any good whatsoever.

they thought lockdowns as keeping people apart like in cages from one another. in fact, that's not the actual experience of lockdowns. even though we've adopted these lockdowns, the cases have spreat pretty widely. i think that they overestimated these lockdowns and they underestimated very strangely that once you're infected you dn produce immunity. the other thing is the development of the vaccine started to help with development of immunity in the population. it was just a mistake on the part of the scientific community and dr. fauci to, in thinking about these lockdowns, and i think it's produced devastating effects. >> laura: i mean, i'm not an epidemiologist. i'm not an immunologist, i wish i had gone to med school, it'sem so fascinating. fauci is not a dumb person.

he's a really smart guy there are loot of smart people saying things that just didn't add you will, whether it's t cell immunity, and now with the help of some vaccines, i find it very odd, maybe i'm not as charitable about the most variations but i find the whole thing very, very strange. >> yes, it's kind of stunning because if we look at the history of epidemics and pandemics they end with herd immunity.in and that's the same as now this pandemic is ending with herd immunity. so that's what we knew it would happen and that's what's t happening. >> laura: that means when the concern, about viral variants, which is what is being brought up, and no good news in covid land, there is never any good

news, always another variant around the corner, but those variants aren't shown, at least not now, to be more lethal, are they? so why is that being trotted out as anything but getting us closer to herd immunity? >> i think there is some element of, we're so used to being scared and panicked that we kind of -- you're absolutely right. there is no evidence that these variants are more lethal. most of the evidence suggests that if you had covid before, you're still protected against the variants, and the vaccines are also protective to large extent against the variants that we've seen thus far. to the extent that, i mean, it's always possible that there is s some variant but it seems

unlikely given what we've seen thus far. i think the panic has been one of the biggest mistakes in this epidemic. we should be reassuring the public when we can and we should have been through this whole epidemic. a lot of harm that's come from the panic induced by the public health community and dr. fauci in particular. >> laura: doctor, dr. fauci was asked about when we could possibly get back to normal. that's a question that's asked pretty much every day. and this is what he said yesterday. >> no, wait a minute. i really want to know, when it's going to get as close to normal that you almost don't know the difference between what it was before. maybe you're going to still have to wear masks, that likely will be, as the president said, by the end of the years, by christmas. but these are all estimates and so many things can happen to modify that. at>> laura: doctor, why do they keep saying christmas? >> that doesn't make any sense because we know that covid is seasonal, and a year ago, in february, the rate was going up, but now it's going down.

so we have sort of past the peak, which means that we have a lot of immunity in the population. and then also, the threshold t needed for herd immunity is lower in the summer. so there is no reason why we shouldn't go back to normal in the spring and summer, and there is no reason -- there is no public health reasons why we shouldn't open the schools on smonday. every school in the united states. >> laura: doctor, the issue of school openings, in person learning, i think the first time we addressed it was in april of last year because we saw what they were doing in france, germany, and sweden, where theyi kept kids in school with only a few problems here and there but they were quickly dealt with. again, other than the point that we're kind of squelching free speech in the medical community or dismissing, you know, centuries old thought about immunity, the issue of the children and schools, how is

history going to look back on that? >> we've robbed a generation of children of their birth right to have a good education, for no good public health purpose. we don't have to look to europe. you're absolutely right. we knew from april from just looking at sweden and other countries in europe keeping schools open safely. look in florida, where schools have been open to in person instruction five days a week without all the rigor. we should i open our schools immediately five days a week and go back to normal. we're damaging a generation of children in ways that we cannot recover from and there is no good moral c reason to do it. no good public health reason to do it. >> laura: to that point, this is how the biden administration tried to address the obvious failure of lockdowns in the stateha of california. >> california basically in lockdown and their numbers

aren't that different fromth florida. >> look, there is so much of this virus that we think we understand, that we think we can predict, it's just a little bit beyond our explanation. >> laura: doctor, again, i'm not a doctor, you guys are the experts, but is that really beyond explanation? aren't we seeing a controlled experiment taking place before our eyes with different state approaches, what's working and what's not? >> well, what's happening is completely predictable. lockdowns does not work and we have proof now that they do not work. that they do not protect all people. unfortunately, there were a lot of people who t were thinking tt by doing lockdown, we would indirectly protect old people by suppressing the virus in the population but of course, that didn't work and we knew it wasn't going to work. but the sad thing is because people were thinking that the lockdowns were working, and protecting the older, high-risk

people, we didn't take the measures, the focused measures of protecting them through standard public health measures that could have been implemented and should have been implemented already in march, of 2020. and because we didn't take those focused protection measures of older, high-risk people, we have seen very high death count because of that. >> laura: we've punished the young and we didn't protect the elderly. i want to say thank you to both of you. you have had an enormous amount of courage to speak out, and to just give the facts without politics, just the facts of covid, and the history that we know of viruses and pandemics, and it's been incredibly educational. i just want to thank both of you. thank you so much. >> thank you, laura. >> laura: speaking of dr. fauci what does he have to do with modern dating? what? you're not going to want to miss this.

"friday follies" with raymond arroyo next.

>> live from america's news headquarters, i'm ashley strohmier. working to bring it back online,

only 155,000 people are still without power. the problem right now is the water pipes, 7 million are under water to boil water before using. president biden manufacturing plant in michigan today, rather on friday, he told workers he's confident in delivering 100 million doses of covid-19 vaccines. he also says the country should be back to normal by years end. we see death tolls from the virus surpassing 491,000. i'm ashley strohmier, now back to "the ingraham angle." ♪ ♪ >> laura: it's friday and that means it's time for "friday follies." you know it. we come to the forthcoming book, fox news contributor raymond arroyo. all right. biden had a very, very big town hall. i know you watched it the other night there. were few answers that were troubling. b

>> i'll say. and they got very little coverage, laura. joe biden has a history, as you know, of saying racially insensitive things, and that tradition continued at the town hall with no objection from anderson cooper. >> did you ever, five years ago, think every second or third ad out of five or six you turned on would be biracial couples? not everybody in the hispanic or african-american community and particularly in rural areas that are distant and or inner-city districts know how to use -- know how to get online. >> wait a minute, laura. are only lily white people, have no technical challenges, and only the hispanics and african-americans have difficulty getting online? this is man, you remember, laura, he said go to joe, 330330, he didn't know the text and it was text 33030. when you want to bring the country together, it's best not to lead with racial divisiveness and racial identity in the

forefront. it's a bad look. >> laura: does he not have anything to do than to catalog the color coded nature of various commercials. apparently biden is watching tv and making a note of how racial and biracial couples. i found that odd. >> i agree. the racial stereotyping is not a good look on him and the president offered one admission that was quite startling. i'm sure he knows where he is.s. >> you get up in the morning and i look at joe and say where the hell are we? >> i didn't realize i had been in the oval office as hundred times, as vice president, more than that, every morning for the initial meetings. but i had never been up in the residence. >> laura: what? >> you had never been um to the private residence. laura, you and i have been to

the private residence. aside from ceremonial duties, these two apparently weren't all that close but that didn't stop former obama campaign manager jim from getting emotional. >> i teared up with that. it was amazing that he was honest saying, wow, this is my life. >> laura: i teared up for a different reason thinking this man is actually running our country. i did tear up as well. >> unbelievable, laura. they released a video answering all the tough questions americans have. i call this, this week's marquis milarky. >> what is president biden doing for my small business? first and foremost he nominate

add woman to lead the small business administration who formerly walked there. you're invited any time to the briefing room. i'llly have snacks and treats right behind the podium. >> no talk of the iran nuclear deal, immigration, the business closures, school closures, suddenly the white house press secretary is like rachael ray on animal planet. how did this happen, laura? >> laura: when is the next burger run? this is harkening back to obama and michelle, the never ending love affair between the press and the first couple. i want your reaction to the latest dating craze, raymond. it involves dr. love himself. well, dr. doom himself, anthony fauci. >> there is actually a term called fauci someone. >> what does that mean? >> it means cutting off someone if they aren't taking the pandemic seriously. i fauci that guy.

>> i'm going to fauci you. >> laura: any man or woman who uses this term should be told go fauci yourself. this is the regime of fear that's distanced people. there is like no relationships. young people aren't talking. old people aren't talking. this is not the way to build a future society. this regime of fear and living in fear of other people, but let me tell you, they found the right term for it. >> laura: i love how he has that momentary blush with the interviewer. raymond, by the way, ite do know someone actually personally who did not go to a christmas event because she was worried that people she was visiting had not taken covid restrictions seriously enough. they had already had covid and recovered. but they still wouldn't go visit them.

can you imagine? it's like, covid is christmas punishment. a couple of months ago. that's what that was. >> like the people that have gotten both vaccines, double shots, and they are wearing triple masks and the page protectors and running aroundin like that. what are you doing? you're already vaccinated. >> laura: raymond, great to see you. have a good weekend. and biden is using the anniversary of the parkland shooting tragedy to come for your guns. but a parent who lost his daughter on that terrible day says it's the wrong move. he'sys here next.

>> laura: president joe biden promised to confiscate your firearms while on the campaign trail. now he's trying to rope congress into his gun grab. he issued this statement on the anniversary of the parkland school shooting saying for three years now the parkland families have spent birthdays and

holidays without their loved ones. i'm calling on congress to act common sense reforms including requiring background checks, banning assault weapons and high gas magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers. but will any of this really b prevent another mass shooting? my next guest, the father of a parkland victim, who tragically lost his daughter. ryan, i know this brings up all the tragedy and everything that goes along with it and your personal loss, but president biden says, look, this is just fcommon sense, what's your response? >> it's anything but common sense. in fact, common sense would tell us that we don't have to give up our freedoms to be more safe, and more secure. in fact, what i would ask president biden to do is look at

the reforms we've made in florida. the things that we've done here to make our schools safer as a model for the rest of the country. >> the mode of attack will change. so anything that we "ban" won't make us any safer. t look, i sat on the commission that investigated the tragedy that took, when my daughter was lost. in all the recommendations that were made we made no government control recommendations whatsoever. we didn't find any evidence that additional gun control measures would have been helpful at all. when you look at the tragedy, when you understand how it happened, there were warning signs that were going on for years.

this was a preventable tragedy. the problem was the school thdistrict didn't talk to law enforcement. law enforcement didn't talk to the school district, and neither party talked to the mental health provider. this could have been prevented with communication and some action being taken on the part of the school district or law enforcement.of >> laura: the white house press secretary addressed this issue of gun legislation this week. watch. >> the president is somebody throughout his career has advocated for smart gun safety measures. he has -- he's not afraid to stand up to the nra. he's done it multiple times and won ona. background checks, a range of issues and it's a priority to him on a personal level. >> laura: they all frame this as standing up to the big, bad nra. who does gun control really end up hurting? the poor, the disadvantage, those who can't afford private security perhaps? >> law-abiding citizens in general is who it hurts.

criminals don't follow the gun laws. and quite frankly, you know, then idea of a universal become ground check, look, the killer in parkland passed a background check. he purchased his firearm legally. the issue we really need to solve is understanding who is ao threat. the irony of this whole thing is the answer that president biden isng looking for is literally standing in front of him. the u.s. secret service has studied these mass attacks for years. they use something called behavioral threat assessment to protect the president. that's the answer. that's how we prevent these attacks from happening. and i would hope that the biden administration would shift gears, not go down this path that, you know, it's really a myth, when they say that all of the victims' families or any victims of gun violence are pro-gun control. that's just simply not true.

>> laura: ryan, how much time goes by in the course of a day, where you don't think about your daughter, your beautiful daughter? >> i'm constantly reminded, so is my wife and family and i know all the families that lost loved ones in parkland, we're constantly reminded of the loss. i'm grateful for the 14 years i had with elena. i learned a lot from her and i want to honor her love of our country, the love of our freedoms and i want to make sure what happened to our family doesn't happen to any other families. >> laura: ryan, thank you, and we continue to pray for you and all the parkland families, and everything that you've suffered over these last three years. i know it seems like it was probably yesterday for you so thank you very much for coming on and sharing your thoughts on

this. >> thank you. >> laura: biden may not know how to get your kid back to school but he does have an amazing morning routine. the last bite explains.g ..
